  2. Water turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_turbine

    A water turbine is a rotary machine that converts kinetic energy and potential energy of water into mechanical work. Water turbines were developed in the 19th century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now, they are mostly used for electric power generation.

  3. Pelton wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelton_wheel

    The Pelton wheel or Pelton Turbine is an impulse -type water turbine invented by American inventor Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s. [1][2] The Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse of moving water, as opposed to water's dead weight like the traditional overshot water wheel. Many earlier variations of impulse turbines existed, but they ...

  4. Gravitation water vortex power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_water_vortex...

    The gravitation water vortex power plant is a type of micro hydro vortex turbine system which converts energy in a moving fluid to rotational energy using a low hydraulic head of 0.7–3 metres (2 ft 4 in – 9 ft 10 in). This technology is based on a round basin with a central drain. Above the drain, the water forms a stable line vortex which ...

  5. Low-head hydro power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-head_hydro_power

    Low-head hydro power. Low-head hydro power refers to the development of hydroelectric power where the head is typically less than 20 metres, although precise definitions vary. [1] Head is the vertical height measured between the hydro intake water level and the water level at the point of discharge. Using only a low head drop in a river or ...

  6. Hydropower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropower

    The water spins a turbine, which is connected to the generator that produces electricity. [13] The other type is called a run-of-river plant. In this case, a barrage is built to control the flow of water, absent a reservoir. The run-of river power plant needs continuous water flow and therefore has less ability to provide power on demand.

  7. Turbo generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_generator

    A turbo generator is an electric generator connected to the shaft of a turbine (water, steam, or gas) for the generation of electric power. [note 1] Large steam-powered turbo generators provide the majority of the world's electricity and are also used by steam-powered turbo-electric ships. [1]
