Option 4 : It works under a high head and requires small quantity of water.

The Pelton turbine is a tangential flow impulse turbine. Pelton turbines are best suited for high head and low flow sites.

NOTE:

  • Pelton wheel turbine is an impulse turbine working under the high head and low discharge
  • Francis Turbine - It requires medium head, generally in the range of (100 - 500) meter
  • Kaplan Turbine - It requires very low head, generally less than the 100-meter head is required
