🔌Boosting Hydropower Efficiency with Smart #Engineering! HEP Proizvodnja, a subsidiary of the Croatian national power company, faced a challenge: how to improve the efficiency of a hydroelectric power plant with minimal investment and without major structural changes. 💡Instead of modernizing the turbine runner—a costly and complex option—they turned to a smarter solution: upgrading the draft tube, a component that could be improved during regular maintenance. With the help of computational modeling and advanced #CFD #simulations, #engineers were able to test and identify an optimal draft tube design that would deliver better efficiency with minimal disruption and cost. This case shows how HPC-powered simulation can unlock cost-effective innovations in traditional industries like #energy.
