New hydropower dam design tested at EPFL
Date Time New hydropower dam design tested at EPFL A team of EPFL engineers has completed proof-of-concept tests for the new Massongex-Bex-Rhône hydropower dam. The tests, involving both a physical scale model and computer simulations, enabled the engineers to fine-tune their design. Engineers at EPFL’s Platform of Hydraulic Constructions (PL-LCH) in Lausanne have just finished testing the design for the new Massongex-Bex-Rhône (MBR) hydropower dam. The tests began in November 2020 and were carried out on a scale model. They were used to calculate the design’s energy efficiency and make...
