[TRNSYS-users] Hydro Unit in Trnsys

[David BRADLEY]

Fergus,
   If you are able to find some performance data for the hydro turbine 
then you could potentially use Type42, a generic performance-data 
reading and interpolating routine included in the standard HVAC library 
to model its behavior in the system. If you can point me toward whatever 
information you have about the turbine, I'd be interested in seeing it 
and in potentially helping you get a Type either set up to use the data 
or perhaps even writing one to do so.
Best,
  David
