Pelton turbine-Impulse water turbine for high head hydropower Plant
pelton turbine (impulse turbine) is a hydro turbine that uses the kinetic energy of a high-pressure jet stream to perform work. The water from a high water head reservoir is led to the turbine through a penstock pipe. The high-pressure water passes through the turbine nozzle and becomes a high-speed jet of water, rushing to the bucket of the Pelton runner to make the turbine rotate mechanical energy.
