Mark,
I am not aware of a model of a hydro turbine. However, you may still have some options. First, if the output of the turbine is relatively constant then you could write an equation or put the performance into a data file which would then be read in by the simulation. Alternatively, if the turbine performance can be characterized by a COP as a function of a few inlet conditions then you could use Type42 to model it. Type42 is a very generic "lookup table / performance map" component that reads and interpolates performance metrics as a function of inlet conditions.
Kind regards,
David

Hi,I am very new to TRNSYS and am trying to determine whether using this software will be beneficial.I am an electrical engineering masters student at the University of Edinburgh working with AECOM to do my thesis and I am investigating a control system where I need to model a small private wire system connected to a 90kW hydro turbine. Is there a ‘Type’ available to be used as a Hydro which could be shared with me?Any help would be appreciated.Best regards,Mark AzzopardiThis email is confidential and is for the intended recipient only.
