Hydro turbines are the core of hydropower plants, converts the kinetic energy into electric energy using running water to form renewable, clean energy. These turbines consist of various parts like blades, shafts, and a shaft seal connected to the main generator that drives the turbine to produce electricity.
National corporation provides various kinds of turbines like Francis turbines, Kaplan turbines, and Pelton turbines according to specific water flow and head (height difference). Hydro turbines are the driving force behind the successful production of hydel energy in Pakistan.
Additionally, a significant share of Pakistan’s power production depends upon hydropower, producing electricity using hydro turbines. Hydro turbine maintenance and regular monitoring of spare parts are essential for better performance. Keeping this sector alive can build a sustainable and brighter future for the nation.
