hydroturbine
A hydroturbine is a rotary mechanical energy converter that extracts energy from flowing water to produce rotational power, typically used in hydroelectric power generation. It operates on the principle of converting the kinetic and potential energy of water into mechanical energy, which can then be transformed into electrical energy via a generator. Hydroturbines are a key component of hydroelectric power plants, which harness the force of falling or fast-flowing water to generate clean, renewable electricity.
Hydroturbines come in various designs, each suited to different water flow conditions and head (the vertical
The efficiency of a hydroturbine depends on factors such as the design, the velocity and volume of
