2. Francis turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_turbine

   Francis type units cover a head range from 40 to 600 m (130 to 2,000 ft), and their connected generator output power varies from just a few kilowatts up to 1000 MW. Large Francis turbines are individually designed for each site to operate with the given water flow and water head at the highest possible efficiency, typically over 90% (to 99% [6]).

3. Screw turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_turbine

   Screw turbine. A screw turbine (also known as an Archimedean turbine, Archimedes screw generator or ASG, or Archimedes screw turbine or AST) is a water turbine that converts the potential energy of water on an upstream level into work. This hydropower converter is driven by the weight of water, similar to water wheels, and can be considered as ...

4. 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 ...

5. Turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbine

   Turbine. A turbine (/ ˈtɜːrbaɪn / or / ˈtɜːrbɪn /) (from the Greek τύρβη, tyrbē, or Latin turbo, meaning vortex) [1][2] is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. The work produced can be used for generating electrical power when combined with a generator. [3]

6. Nacelle (wind turbine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nacelle_(wind_turbine)

   Components of a horizontal axis wind turbine (gearbox, rotor shaft and brake assembly) being lifted into the nacelle. 200-ton wind turbine rotor hubs that will be installed at the forward end of the nacelles. A nacelle / nəˈsɛl / is a cover housing that houses all of the generating components in a wind turbine, including the generator ...

7. Engine–generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine–generator

   Engine–generator. An engine–generator is the combination of an electrical generator and an engine (prime mover) mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. This combination is also called an engine–generator set or a gen-set. In many contexts, the engine is taken for granted and the combined unit is simply called a generator.
