Description
This lecture covers the principles of hydropower generation, focusing on different types of turbines such as impulse and reactive turbines. It explains the operation of Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines, discussing their efficiency and design considerations. The lecture also delves into the determination of energy extraction from hydropower sites using flow-duration and head-discharge methods, as well as the factors influencing turbine selection and energy production optimization.
