Lecture

Hydraulic Construction Platform

Description

This lecture covers topics related to hydraulic construction platforms, pipes and networks, high waterfall development, and balancing chimneys in hydroelectric systems. It discusses different types of development based on topography, such as shielded wells, cut types, and feed tunnels. The presentation also includes examples of hydroelectric projects like Linthal 2015 and Gigerwald-Mapprag, emphasizing elements like balance chimneys, high headrooms, and pumping systems. The importance of water supply system elements, such as tanks, armored hydrants, and feeder galleries, is highlighted. The lecture delves into water hammer phenomena, pressure wave velocities, and the significance of equilibrium chambers in reducing pressure fluctuations. It concludes with a focus on the transitional analysis of hydroelectric developments and the modeling of hydraulic systems.
