Hydro impulse turbines are often referred to as a mature technology having been invented
around 100 years ago with many of the old design guidelines producing machines of a high …

Renewable energy provides twenty percent of electricity generation worldwide.
Hydroelectric power is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. It is a renewable …

This paper aims to develop a generic optimisation method for Pelton turbine runners using
computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Two different initial runners are optimised to achieve …

The Pelton turbine is an impulse turbine typically installed for high head hydroelectric power
plants. For a site with a rated head H and discharge Q, a higher specific speed turbine …

The optimal performance of a hydroelectric power plant depends on accurate monitoring
and well-functioning sensors for data acquisition. This study proposes the use of artificial …

Pelton turbine is often used where water head is extremely high. Efficiency is an important
target of a Pelton turbine during the turbine designing process, many facets will be taken into …

Pelton turbine is an impulse turbine that converts kinetic energy of incoming jet of water into
mechanical energy. Due to impingement of high-speed jet on buckets, Pelton turbine …

In a Pelton turbine, the jet is one of the most important factor that impacts the energy
generated by the runner. In this study, numerical investigation is conducted to understand …

To demonstrate the concepts of using waterfall hydropower to generate energy, a Mini-
Laboratory Pelton Turbine (MLPT) was designed and simulated. The principle of energy …

This paper presents a review of development of hydro power, its basics, teaching and
performance evaluation. The laboratory experimental data pertaining to Pelton, Francis and …
