SHPP Žermanice – water flow measurement
On 29th of October 2025 the water flow measurement into TG2 and TG3 units was performed at new SHPP Žermanice (units supplied by Strojírny Brno). The Gibson method (pressure - time method) was used for the measurements, which was evaluated as the only applicable method due to the specific conditions.
The actual conditions on site ultimately prevented reliable measurements from being taken on the TG3 unit, but measurements on the TG2 unit were successfully taken at four different unit power settings, each with three different water supply configurations from the main pipes.
The evaluated discharges at TG2 confirmed the expected values, and the discharge at TG3 is also expected to be achieved based on the measured performance of the unit at actual head.
