It is also used as a tool for exploration of future possibilities, additions, and alterations to be made in the system configuration. In this paper, an attempt has been made for computer simulation of hydro-turbines. Simulations have been made for the simplified linear model, the non-linear model neglecting the effects of water compressibility, pipe elasticity, and the effect of surge tank. These effects have been included in steps to develop more sophisticated simulations. Case studies have been conducted on all of them.(4 figures, 4 tables, 7 references)
