French term

Pompage Turbinage Simultané (PTS) / le pompage réglant

French to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation Hydroelectric power
Hi
context:
Egalement nommé Pompage Turbinage Simultané (PTS), le pompage réglant consiste à faire fonctionner une turbine Pelton réglante en même temps que des pompes dont la puissance est fixe ; vu du réseau électrique, la puissance soutirée par les pompes est alors ajustable à souhait.

The only equivalent I can find in English is Submersible Turbine Pump STP, are they the same thing. And if so, how is pompage réglant translated

To Asker In answer to your question, the source text says that the "pompage réglant" is "Egalement nommé Pompage Turbinage Simultané (PTS)". I am not familiar with the term, which gets very few hits on Google. The source text adds that, in this system, the power drawn by the pumps is adjustable.

Here's pompage-turbinage http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompage-turbinage

Wilsonn: this is OK, since the two terms mean the same thing.

2.1 One term is allowed per question Including multiple terms for translation in a single KudoZ posting interferes with the process of generating glossary entries.

To Asker You have certainly found that "pompage réglant" gets a grand total of two hits on Google. However, from the context, I gather that it refers to energy balancing in a pumped storage hydro installation.

Simultaneous Turbine Pumping / regulated pumping

The information explains: 'The regulated pumping involves making a regulated Pelto turbine work at the same time as other pumps with a fixed power setting. Seen with an electric circuit, the power which is drawn or extracted by the pumps can be adjusted as required.'

FR: 'La régulation des pompes fait fonctionner un turbine Pelto réglant, em même temps que des autres pompes avec une puissance fixe. Vue d'un réseau eléctrique, la puissance soutirée par les pompes est ajustable à souhait.'

Here's a link to turbine and pump efficiency.

There's another PDF file. It looks like the same as the sage journals, but in pdf format.

Thanks! Do you have the link for that please?

pumped storage

Note from asker:
Thanks, so do you think that Pompage Turbinage and pompage réglant have the same meaning, i.e. pumped storage?
Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree philgoddard : So water is being pumped uphill and flowing downhill through turbines at the same time. I can't find a term for this - something like simultaneous pumped storage?

Pumped storage and "turbinage" [operation of the Pelton turbine, which generates power] occur at the same time. I don't know the English term either.
