Hydropeaking: The discontinuous releases of water through turbines to meet peak energy demands which causes downstream water flow fluctuations. Hydropower : The harnessing of flowing water—using a dam or other type of diversion structure—to create energy that can be captured via a turbine to generate electricity.
The hydraulic pump pumps the fluid into the accumulator, which is nothing but a sealed container. The volume of the container is fixed and cannot be changed. But the quantity of hydraulic fluid being pumped inside the container is increasing continuously. So the pressure of the hydraulic fluid inside the container starts to increase.
An important aspect is to determine whether to set a surge tank (also referred as surge shaft, surge chamber). The purpose of setting of a surge tank is to improve the overall operation performance of a hydropower station (HPS) with a long penstock. A surge tank acts as a fore-bay to reduce the amplitude of pressure fluctuations by …
Numerical computations for the engineering cases concluded that the CSST for a conventional HPS could not be directly applied to a pumped-storage power station [40].However, recommendations or ideas on how to improve the situation were not proposed.

The energy grade is the sum of the hydraulic grade and the velocity head (V2/2g). This is the height to which a column of water would rise in a pitot tube. The plot of the energy grade in a profile is often referred to as the energy grade line, or EGL. At a lake or reservoir, where the velocity is essentially zero, the EGL is equal to the HGL ...
