DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF A MICRO HYDRO TURGO TURBINE

The increasing demand for energy and the concerns regarding environmental protection have been driving forces toward exploitation of renewable sources as a better alternative compared to conventional sources. Furthermore, enable an independent supply isolated locations or communities that lack access main electricity grid, additionally, they offer possibility use available beneficial individual purposes. Considering these statements, micro hydropower plants represents convenient advantageous option implement. A hydro Turgo turbine is used analysis in this paper, due its simple design, structure, easy production low installation cost.
 In manner, paper deals with Euler equations detailed designing implementation turbine. presented methodology will be based on numerical calculations characteristic parameters various operating regimes. obtained results from calculation current performance real existing Accordingly, results, recommendations improving turbines presented.
