Hydro turbines

There are several different types of water turbines that are used to convert the kinetic
energy of flowing water into mechanical energy, which can then be converted into
electricity. Here are some of the most common types of water turbines:

1. Pelton Turbines: These turbines are used in high head, low flow hydroelectric
power plants. They have a high efficiency and are typically used for power
generation in hilly or mountainous regions.
2. Francis Turbines: These turbines are used in medium head, medium flow
hydroelectric power plants. They have a good efficiency and are typically used for
power generation in river or canal systems.
3. Kaplan Turbines: These turbines are used in low head, high flow hydroelectric
power plants. They are typically used for power generation in large rivers and
estuaries.
4. Propeller turbines: These turbines are used in low head, low flow hydroelectric
power plants. They have a high efficiency and are typically used for power
generation in small streams and irrigation canals.
5. Bulb turbines: Bulb turbine, also known as the bulb-type turbine, has the
generator incorporated into the turbine housing, This type of turbine is suitable
for low head, medium flow hydroelectric power plants.
6. Archimedes Screw turbine: This turbine is suitable for low head, low flow
hydroelectric power plants, it uses a helical screw-shaped blade to convert the
kinetic energy of flowing water into rotational energy.

Each of these types of water turbine has its own unique characteristics and is best suited
for specific applications and conditions. Factors such as the head (vertical distance
between the water source and turbine) and flow rate (volume of water flowing through
the turbine) of the water source, as well as the desired output power, are all important
considerations when choosing the right turbine for a specific project.
