Hydraulic Turbines
Hydraulic turbines convert the potential energy of water into Kinetic energy by utilizing the difference in elevation between two water levels which is called the Head. The hydraulic turbine utilizes the Energy of the water, which develops a torque on the generating unit shaft. The power developed by the water depends on both the Discharge and Head. The wide variety of head and discharge combinations in Hydroelectric plants requires a large number of types and a considerable range of dimensions for turbine. The turbines types most widely used are the Pelton, Francis and Kaplan types.
Micro Hydro Turbines
WD Power design and Manufacture their own range of Micro Hydro turbines. All Turbine development and testing is done in-house on a closed circuit Test Bench located in our workshop facility. Turbine developments and various hydraulic R&D is performed in house by Qualified Engineers.
Micro Pelton Turbine
Head Range: 30m – 200m
Flow Range: 5lt/s – 50lt/s
Pelton turbines are of the Impulse type and typically fall into the range of Higher head vs Lower flow when compared to other types of turbines like the Francis or Kaplan turbine.
Micro PAT Turbine
Head Range: 10m – 80m
Flow Range: 10lt/s – 300lt/s
Pump as Turbine (PaT) unit is a specially selected centrifugal pump that is run in reverse and used as a Turbine. These units have a wide application range and operate at relatively high efficiencies.
Micro Vortex Turbine
Head Range: 1,5m – 3m
Flow range: 1500lt/s – 5000lt/s
WD Power have an Agents Agreement in place with Turbulent turbine suppliers in Belgium. The Turbine range falls between 15kW and 70kW per unit.
Small Hydro Turbines
In turbine construction the turbines belonging to a certain series are characterised by their specific speed, which is determined from a special mathematical formula. Depending on the specific speed the turbines are divided into low-, medium-, and high – speed types. WD Power can supply Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines ranging between 500kW and 5MW per unit.
