A surge tank is provided in a hydropower station to control pressure variation in pipes due to sudden load variations.

In hydropower plants with long and complex water conduits, surge tanks are used to lessen pressure forces created during the acceleration of large water masses.

They are built as intermittent water reservoirs near the turbines, either open to atmospheric air or as a closed volume filled with pressurized air.
