| Research Abstract |
The objective of serial researches is to develop the hybrid power system combined the wind power unit with the counter-rotating type pump-turbine unit, to provide the constant output for the grid system. As the first step in 2011, the counter-rotating type hydroelectric unit was operated at the pumping mode, and the steady performances and the flow conditions were investigated. And in 2012, the effects of the impeller profile on the pump-turbine performances were investigated. Based on the above results, the counter-rotating type pump-turbine unit for the field test was prepared on the pilot plant in the home campus.
