Abstract
The control of the turbine and its equipment in a hydroelectric power plant requires the HPU (hydraulic power unit) to deliver large volumes of working fluid in a short time at specific optimum control parameters. The use of typical proportional flow control valves created by manufacturers of hydraulic components in low-pressure control systems is disadvantageous due to high pressure losses in the control chambers. This paper presents the methodology and test results while designing a hydraulic proportional valve for low pressure and high flow rate operation. CFD (computational fluid dynamics) theory was analyzed and characteristic values were determined. The validation of CFD tests through those on the test bench was carried out, correction factor was determined. A new proprietary solution was developed and a series of simulation studies were carried out to determine the flow characteristics depending on the degree of the opening of the proportional flow control valve.
