Abstract

This paper deals with the design of the runner blade profile for Kaplan Turbine. The world has a huge potential for small hydro Kaplan turbine power plants. The world energy demands are increasing. In this micro-hydro, Kaplan power plants gain special attention. The development of micro-hydro Kaplan power plants on a large scale will generate enough energy for the world inhabitants. This paper presents the runner of a low head Kaplan turbine in which the net head and rated flow of water are 2.4m and 0.8 m^3/s respectively. The turbine is single regulated Kaplan turbine with runner diameter 560 mm, hub diameter is 220 mm, and net power capacity is 15 kW. Major component of Kaplan turbine are spiral casing, guide vane mechanism, and runner.
