Abstract :
The paper is trying to present the possible operational aspects for a pumped storage power plant. There are presented the possibilities of the study of operational regimes of the plant using experiments performed on lab equipment. The extrapolation of the lab results to the real plant is done using certain criteria of hydraulic similarities. In the end, it is proposed an algorithm for optimization of the plant operation, with the goal of efficient usage of hydraulic energy.
