Efficiency Testing of Pelton Turbines with Artificial Defects—Part 1: Buckets
Pelton turbines are susceptible to hydro-abrasive erosion from sediment-laden flows, resulting in a progressive loss of efficiency. Typical defect classes can be derived from the analysis of such damage observed in hydropower plants. A systematic strategy was developed to investigate the effect of l...
