【 摘 要 】

A complex hydraulic facility is modelled in EPANET. The system consists in an underground high head Hydro Power Plant (HPP) and a Pumping Station (PS), operating in a pumped-storage hydropower scheme with three reservoirs. The complexity of the system is due to its unusual configuration, where the PS discharges the water directly into the HPP penstock. The PS is equipped with 2 × 10 MW pumps. The HPP is equipped with 2 × 75 MW Francis turbines. The simulations allow assessing the energy production and/or consumption in various scenarios, offering a tool to decision makers, to wittingly choose the operation mode of the facility.
