Interested in penstock fatigue in pumped-storage power plants? See our recent findings on the risks of penstock fatigue in pumped-storage power plants operating in pumping mode. The variable speed upgrade of a pumped-storage power plant (PSPP) to allow offer several advantages in pumping and generating modes. However, in pumping mode at part load, both pressure…
