Introduction of Pelton turbine
![]()
The Pelton type turbine is usually the preferred turbine for hydropower, when the available water source has relatively high hydraulic head at low flow rates, where the Pelton wheel is most efficient. They have the advantages such as compact structure, small size, high efficiency, low operation maintenance cost, low cost because of less excavation and less investments, etc. and disadvantages like inadequate energy recovery and lower efficiency than other types of turbines.
Application scope
