potentially accumulating water, by dropping water from a certain height at a certain speed. This resulting kinetic energy passes through the turbine blades and electricity is obtained by accelerating rotational motion in the generator.

The main parts of hydroelectric power plants:

• Water supply and water intake structures

• Penstock and snail

• Turbine and generator

• Transformers and switchyard

As Gen Energy, we are installing and engineering all mechanical and electrical auxiliary equipment of hydroelectric power plants.

The main turbine types used in hydroelectric power plants:

Kaplan Type Turbine: The Kaplan type turbine wheel is interchangeable to provide the opportunity to be adjusted to the wing pitches. Kaplan turbines are generally used in dreams of up to 30 m.

Francis Type Turbine: In Francis turbine, water enters the rotating wheel from the steering wheel from the outside and goes down along the blades of the wheel and leaves the wheel. Found by the American Francis. It is the most widely used with its compact structure, safe operation and high efficiency. These turbines are generally used in water drops of 30 - 300 m.

Pelton Type Turbine: Although it has no theoretical limitation, Pelton turbines are used for water drops of more than 200m. Pelton turbines are divided into two groups as horizontal axis and vertical axis
