Abstract
Low-head power plants are expected to be implemented increasingly in the future. The hydraulic and mechanical design will be detailed and compared to actual performance. In this paper, the generator power is 50kW and the water head is 8m. In Kaplan turbine design, the runner radius is 228.25mm, the runner speed is 826.12rpm, number of runner is four and the number of guide vane is eleven. In Kaplan design, the variable head is considered from 2m to 9m and the runner dimensions and the runner speed are as well as the Kaplan turbine output is 75.6082kW at the 8m water head. The double regulating system is considered and the hollow rotor shaft dimensions are outside diameter of 98mm and inside diameter of 78.4mm.
