An in-situ measuring campaign during a number of steady and unsteady conditions has been performed on the plant’s open channel, pressurized and tail race sub-systems with the primary goal of defining measures that will enable the achievement of the plant’s installed capacity. In-house software written in Visual Fortran and based on the method of characteristics (MOC) has been developed. The closure of the Pelton turbine distributors is modelled with the two-speed closing law.

Numerical results given for standard quasi-steady and convolution-based unsteady friction models are compared with the results of measurements at flows with very high initial Reynolds numbers (larger than 10^7). The developed numerical model shows good agreement with the results of site measurements. It is shown that the unsteady friction has a small impact on pressure histories in Perućica HPP.
