Efficiency Testing of Pelton Turbines with Artificial Defects—Part 2: Needles and Seat Rings

The erosion of Pelton turbine components in mountainous areas with high sediment input is a major challenge for energy- and cost-efficient operation. Quantitative data on possible efficiency losses associated with local damage are needed. A systematic experimental study was carried out on a model tu...
