Abstract

Hydropower is nowadays essential for balancing the electrical grid providing flexibility and fast response. The role of hydraulic turbines has changed from working at their Best Efficiency Point (BEP) to work in the whole operating range when demanded. Francis turbines working at off-design conditions suffer from dynamic problems that affect the useful life of their components, especially of the runner.
