500kw Turgo Hydro Turbine Generator For Micro Hydro Generator
overview
Turgo impulse turbines are well suited to power generation in South East Asia. Their robust design features and simple construction provide good reliability and availability. Machine efficiencies are maintained over a wide flow range and progressive efficiency reductions due to erosion by silt present in the water are minimal.
The simple and robust Turgo Impulse turbine provides reliable power generation even on water supplies with silt burdens.
It offers a number of advantages particularly over reaction turbines especially in SE Asia that have been covered above.
The Turgo has a higher specific speed than Pelton turbine resulting in smaller
faster rotating turbine generator unit for a given head and flow
High tolerance to erosive particles in the water with no significant reduction in efficiency
Low maintenance design
Deflector speed control giving a fast response to load / frequency changes
Modular design approach
Flexibility in turbine design, layout and configuration
No penstock surge in response to a change in load or frequency
No penstock surge on emergency shutdown on loss of grid
Operation possible down to 10% of rated flow
A higher annual energy may be possible than is available from reaction turbines
on projects with long periods of low flow
Advantages
Covers the boundary between Francis and Pelton
Limits Over-Pressure Effect over the penstock
Higher speed = weight and cost reduction
Maintains efficiency over a wide flow range
Superior abrasion resistance
Ease of operation and maintenance
