Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines are essential inventions that produce electricity from flowing water. Let’s find out how each of those turbines works!
Hydroelectric power is the type of renewable energy provided from moving water. It is a clean method for generating electricity without burning fossil fuels. Hydroelectric power plants: Turbines (Pelton, Francis, Kaplan, etc.) convert the Power of running water to electricity.
Because each turbine is fundamentally different, their performance varies based on the environment in which they are placed. The Pelton turbine is ideal for countries with a lot of height and less water flow. The Francis turbine is suitable for medium head and medium flow sites. Kaplan turbine is suitable for low head and high flow. Not all turbines are the same; using the right one helps us maximize electricity output from moving water.
The Pelton turbine has special spoon-shaped buckets that are struck by fast jets of water to make the turbine spin. The Francis turbine has curved blades that enable it to efficiently suit a wide range of volume and energy head. The Kaplan turbine uses movable blades to adapt to the flow of water in order to remain efficientery. The piece shown in the photo is just one type of turbine, and all turbines are designed to take advantage of the energy in moving water in the most efficient way possible.
Hydroelectric power has been harnessed since many centuries ago. Water wheels were used long before people to help grind grain and power machines. The Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines had revolutionized the ability to generate hydroelectric power and made it easier than ever to convert potential energy into electricity. Over time, these turbines have been enhanced to be more efficient and capable of harnessing the additional capability of the water.
DONGTURBO ELECTRIC has always been at the forefront of producing clean and green electric generating by Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines. Water power makes it possible to depend less on fossil energy and to cut pollution. More efficient turbines mean we can continue to make hydroelectric generation cleaner into the future.
