a. Runner Geometry
It is necessary to get the airfoil shape for the various
chord length of each blade section from Design Foil
software.
Then, isometric view of runner blade is drawn with
calculated data by using SolidWorks software.
V. CONCLUSIONS
In hydropower plant, turbine is one of the most
important parts to generate electricity. The output power of
turbine depends upon the head and flow rate. So Kaplan
turbine type is chosen for 31 m head and flow rate 52 m 3/s
to generate 12.5 MW power. To meet the required power
from the turbine, the blade design is the most important. In
this paper, the detailed design of blade that is divided in
Fig.7.Isometric View of the Runner Blade five cylindrical sections is presented. Then, the dimensional
