Low Head Hydropower High Power Turbine

This turbine is a typical application of the RONAMIC technology in rivers and water reservoirs with (existing) dams where there is an abundance of water. This RONAMIC turbine is designed with a special flow system for high flow and high power output. Despite a slightly lower turbine efficiency, the generated power is substantially higher than that of the RONAMIC Low head HydroPower High ...
