Abstract

Due to an inefficient electric infrastructure, electricity is often scarce in rural areas. To address this issue, researchers have focused on a novel idea called the "MICRO HYDRO TURBINE," and their efforts are yielding promising results. When water comes down from higher elevations, a micro turbine may be placed in the stream and the potential energy of the water head used to power the turbine's rotor. In this research, a Pelton turbine is being studied and optimised since its efficiency is higher than that of other reaction turbines.SOLID WORKS is used to create a blade model, which is then sent to ANSYS for analysis.Three distinct materials have been subjected to both static and dynamic examination. Blade material geometry has been determined for three distinct jet sizes. Static and dynamic load optimisation of the blade material has been completed
