Abstract

This paper describes in detail about the major commissioning trials in pumping mode, such as pump input power constraints at higher frequency, modifications carried out for improving uplift of pump turbine within permissible values, surge shaft level tests at various operating conditions. This paper also gives information about the experience gained during the operation of the unit in pumping mode.
