Background
Task 2.1: Development and optimization of azimuth thruster for the reversible pump turbine
Work package 2 includes four tasks spanned over two years, and each task is handled by different partners in the project. NTNU (Waterpower laboratory) is responsible for the task 2.1. The key objective is to design and develop a rim-type azimuth thruster that will create sufficient suction head (NPSH-available) without cavitation for RPT in pumping mode to store energy. This work package corresponds to the phase 1 of the project, 0 - 24 months, and the task 2.1 is the largest task in this work package. This task strongly cooperate with the task 2.2 which is led by Uppsala Universitet, and aimed to design and develop rim type electric motor for the thruster. Waterpower laboratory is mainly responsible for this task for the design and development of the rim type thruster for the reversible pump-turbine.
