Abstract
A method of controlling a two-stage hydraulic pump-turbine, rotating at a constant speed under a steady condition, in which high and low pressure stages are connected through a return passage. The variable degrees of openings of movable guide vanes of the high and low pressure stages are equally controlled to the same extent when the hydraulic pump-turbine operates as a pump and independently controlled to the different extents when the pump-turbine operates as a turbine in accordance with a change of an operational condition such as water level or load at a time of the steady operation.
