Numerical prediction of Pelton turbine efficiency
This paper presents a numerical analysis of flow in a 2 jet Pelton turbine with horizontal axis. The analysis was done for the model at several operating points in different operating regimes. The results were compared to the results of a test of the model. Analysis was performed using ANSYS CFX-12.1 computer code.

Investigation of the Effects of the Jet Impingement Angle on Torque Generation at the Suction Surface of a Pelton Turbine Bucket [PDF]
The performance of a Pelton turbine was investigated by means of an integrated numerical and experimental study that focused on the fluid dynamics associated with the bucket suction surface during the jet–bucket interactions.

Penetration depth of plunging liquid jets – A data driven modelling approach [PDF]
© 2016 Elsevier Inc. In the case of impinging water jets or droplets, air entrainment processes are crucial to the casing design of hydraulic impulse turbines in the micro-hydro sector. To initiate first steps towards a precise prediction of the complex,

A dam management problem with energy production as an optimal switching problem
Abstract We consider an optimal stochastic control problem for a dam. Electrical power production is operating under an uncertain setting for electricity market prices and water level which has to be kept under control. Indeed, the water level inside the basin cannot exceed a certain threshold for safety reasons, and at the same time cannot decrease ...

Failure investigation of a Pelton turbine runner [PDF]
In this paper, an uncommon failure of a Pelton turbine has been analyzed. After the monitoring system detected a sudden increase in the vibration levels, the turbine was inspected. The inspection showed that a fragment of one bucket broke off during operation.
