Webinar Description
Power generation and energy storage systems rely on fluid transfer networks that must operate safely and efficiently across both new and existing facilities. Engineers face complex hydraulic and thermal challenges in applications ranging from steam generation and hydroelectric plants to energy storage systems such as pumped hydro, compressed air, and thermal storage.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how advanced pipe flow modeling helps engineers move beyond basic flow distribution to address real-world operational challenges—including incompressible, compressible, and transient flow behavior.
What you'll learn
-
Incompressible and compressible flow analysis and model calibration using operational data
-
Hydraulic and thermal modeling of combined heat and power (CHP) systems
-
Natural gas delivery to turbine scenarios, including pressure, temperature, and sonic choking effects
-
Transient risks especially waterhammer, steam hammer, and emergency shutdown events
