Power output, annual energy and the right turbine for a hydropower site
TurbineMatch is an app for hydropower professionals, engineers and students. Whether you are designing a hydropower plant or evaluating energy potential, it simplifies the process with precise calculations and a turbine recommendation.
Enter head, discharge and efficiency. TurbineMatch calculates the power output and the projected annual energy for a chosen number of operating days, and plots your input in a turbine suitability diagram.
The diagram covers five turbine types: Pelton, Francis, Kaplan, Cross Flow and Bulb. For each one the app shows its typical operating range and key features.
