Pelton Turbines
Pelton turbines are the most commonly used in small hydropower plants as they offer unparallel robustness and reliability along with a very wide range of efficient operation.
Pelton turbines operate in the range of 100 to 800 mWC, presenting high efficiency over a wide range of discharge rates.
