The Hydro Turbine harnesses the energy of flowing water to generate rotational mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is then converted into electric power in a generator. The hydro turbines are available also in various types namely; Pelton, Francis, Kaplan, Cross Flow. The suitability of the turbines for given power projects depend on the head and flow characteristics of the water. Hydro Turbine are renewable energy technologies that are applied where the required water flow exists with appreciable head and flow characteristics. The turbines are largely sized to match available flow and head.
