53 CHAPTER 3 HYDRAULIC TURBINE CLASSIFICATION AND SELECTION Introduction (Reaction Turbines) The HYDRAULIC TURBINE is a mechanical device that converts the potential energy contained in an elevated body of water (a river or reservoir) into rotational mechanical energy. Selecting the type, kind, (within type) configuration, (horizontal or vertical) size, and number of TURBINE units that best suit a project is a detailed process. Size and number of units are discussed in CHAPTER -2. This involves technical, environmental, financial, and other considerations. The most inexpensive TURBINE may not be the best solution to the available head and flow.
units that best suit a project is a detailed process. Size and number of units are discussed in chapter-2. This involves technical, environmental, financial, and other considerations. The most inexpensive turbine may not be the best solution to the available head and flow. For small hydro up to 5 MW units size standard turbines are recommended.
