Abstract

This paper presents a physics-based approach aimed to predict the performance curves of PATs (pumps as turbines). The methodology includes a tuning procedure, which allows the calibration of the physics-based model on a given dataset of pumps/PATs, and a prediction procedure, which allows the estimation of PAT performance curves for previously unknown PATs. The methodology is applied to six pumps/PATs, of which the performance curves were experimentally determined at different rotational speeds. A cross-validation process is applied in such manner that one of the six pumps/PATs is not employed for the tuning procedure and is used for validating the reliability of the prediction procedure.
