  • Patent number: 11649798
    Abstract: A reversible pump-turbine and also a guide vane for a reversible pump-turbine with a guide vane body, a pivot for rotating the guide vane body around an axis of rotation and two end faces. The guide vane body has a turbine leading edge facing the turbine flow and a turbine trailing edge facing away from the turbine flow, where the individual guide vanes come into contact with one another along closing edges when the wicket gate is closed, where the guide vanes each have two flow-guiding surfaces on either side of the axis of rotation and opposite one another that are limited by the two end faces. These two flow-guiding surfaces have different flow profiles.
