Pelton Turbine – A Review

Abstract

In the area of energy resources hydraulic energy is a traditional form and most commonly used for electricity generation. For the conversion of hydraulic energy into mechanical energy various hydraulic turbines are used. Further mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. Pelton turbine is a common turbine used in high head areas. The effectiveness of the turbine is depending on various parameters. A lot of research is going in the area of hydraulic turbines to increase its performance. We have collected some research journals and studied. The present paper involves a brief study on effect of various parameters on Pelton turbine performance.
