Water Flow Transition on a Hydropower Virtually Developed Sector of Bârzava River in the Town of Resita

Journal Title: HIDRAULICA - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 3

Abstract

A water flow numerical modelling is developed on the paper for a given sector on Bârzava River where a hydropower associated deviation is assumed, in case of accidental high waters in the Town of Reșița. The model includes two gate-controlled overflowing steps, two water catchments, a headrace pipe of 3052 m in length and 1.10 m in diameter, two energy dissipaters and one micro-hydropower station endowed with two hydroelectric turbines. The flow simulation by the designed numerical model looks to establish the special water levels along the covered sector on the river course and to discuss with respect to the gross head and installed power at an afforded micro-hydropower arrangement. Two specific running situations were assumed, the common running status when the upstream entering section receives the medium multiannual flow and the accidental running status when the entering section is to receive a specified time related flow along the entire considered analysis period of 59 hours.
