4.1 Turbines

Their technology is described at [B 4407] . Only the specific features of small hydropower turbines are described here.

The turbine transforms the potential and kinetic energy of water into mechanical energy. The impeller is the moving part that drives the rotation shaft, which transmits the mechanical energy to the generator. The power of this energy is equal to :

W_{t} = 9,81 \cdot v_{t} \cdot Q \cdot h_{n}
