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.<br>
