    The key factors in choosing a turbine are the head, installed capacity, and turbine type. There are three main turbine types - Kaplan, Francis, and Pelton - each suited for different head ranges from 10-60m, 50-150m, and above 300m respectively. The type of turbine is also determined by how much the head and load can vary, the specific speed, and peak efficiency. To calculate the power required, use the formula P=QHgρ, where P is power in kW, Q is flow in m3/s, H is head in m, g is acceleration due to gravity, and ρ is density of water in kg/m3.

    The factors affecting the choice of a turbine are,

    1) The range of head to be handled by a turbine


    2) The installed capacity determined from the analysis
    of the power-generating capacity of the proposed
    plant
    3) Turbine type and series
    4) The number of power generating units
    5) The runner diameter, rotational speed, and runner
    axis elevation.
