The maximum flow rate is the maximum allowable flow rate through the hydro turbine. HOMER calculates the maximum flow rate of the hydro turbine using the following equation:
where: |
|
|
|
wmax |
= the hydro turbine's maximum flow ratio [%] |
|
= the hydro turbine's design flow rate [m3/s] |
HOMER uses this value to calculate the hydro turbine flow rate in each time step.
