Kaplan turbine
Austrian
engineer Viktor Kaplan (1876-1934) invented this turbine. It's similar to the
propeller turbine, except that its blades are adjustable; their position can be
set according to the available flow. This turbine is therefore suitable for
certain run-of-river generating stations where the river flow varies
considerably. The Kaplan turbine is similar to the propeller turbine except
that its blades are adjustable.
Each
Kaplan turbine at Brisay generating station weighs 300 tonnes... That's the
weight of 50 African elephants.
Propeller turbine
Since
they can reach very high rotation speeds, propeller turbines are effective for
low heads. Consequently, this type of turbine is suitable for run-of-river
power stations.
