ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an electronic, analog, real time simulator for simulation of hydro turbines. This simulator comprises circuits for introducing working conditions of the turbine, such as, for example, the position of the gate controlling the quantity of water flowing through the turbine and the water head. The working conditions are converted by a plurality of multiplication circuits into standardized signals that are supplied to simulating circuits in which the standardized signal are converted into transfer functions. Each of these simulating circuits receives at least one of the standardized signals as an input signal and generates an output signal representing intermediary results, such as the water flow or the generated power. The so obtained intermediary results are then supplied to other multiplication circuits in which they are converted into useful signals representative of the working conditions of the turbine. This simulator may also comprise additional circuits for simultaneously simulating a penstock and thus varying the water head conditions of the turbine and/or simulating a speed regulator acting on the gate position as a function of the angular speed of the turbine and the power generated.
