The aim of the paper is to check sensitivity of the power plant system response for different complete pump characteristics - modern and available from older tests for n q=24.6, 147.1 and 261.4. It has been shown that Suter's characteristics for modern pumps give a different response to the pumping system of a power plant in breakdown than those used so far.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Sensitivity analysis for power plant pumping systems in breakdown}, URL={http://rhis.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/108628/PDF/AME_124486.pdf}, keywords={Suter characteristics, pumping systems, centrifugal pump, power plant breakdown, transient analysis}, }
