The testing methodology followed at HydroPower Performance Engineering has been developed over more than twenty-five
years of experience in the field. Our methods not only produce the highest quality results, exceeding all international
standards, but they also allow us to deliver all test documentation before leaving the test site. That means there's no
waiting for weeks or months for analysis to be completed and decisions to be made.
Test Equipment & Calibration
- All instrumentation used to measure the input and output have a very high accuracy (0.05% or better)
- All instrumentation will be calibrated on-site with high accuracy calibrators that are certified by the national calibration standard
- Instrumentation is checked on a continuous basis during the test to ensure the accuracy and precision of the test
Performance Test Procedure
- Evaluate the turbine and unit operation
- Design a test program to measure the unit performance characteristics
- Measure the unit flow at the highest international standards
- Analyze the test data and deduce the unit performance
- Identify the best operating conditions
- Present the incremental cost of deviating from best efficiency operating point
- Develop operating tables (ratio tables)
Deliverables
All delivarables are submitted to the customer prior to leaving the test site, immediately after completing the performance
test. The deliverables include the following:
- Test data
- Test calibration
- Test results
- Test reports
