Lloyd Garmeriah Mafela1, Gozen Elkiran 2

Abstract

This desk review aims to explore the types of turbines that are commonly used when installing a Runoff River Hydropower Plant. The study provides an overview of different types of turbines such as Kaplan, Francis, and Pelton turbines, their characteristics, and their suitability for various water flow conditions. The paper analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of each type of turbine, including their efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Moreover, it highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate turbine for the Runoff River Hydropower Plant to optimize its energy generation potential while ensuring the project's sustainability. The review also identifies key considerations for decision-makers in choosing the most suitable turbine type for their hydropower project.
