Francis Turbine

A Francis turbine is a type of water turbine used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power plants. Designed for medium-head water applications, it features a spiral casing that guides water through a series of blades attached to a rotor. As water flows, it turns the rotor, converting the water's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. This motion drives a generator to produce electricity. Its efficient design allows it to operate effectively with varying water flow rates, making it one of the most widely used turbines in renewable energy systems worldwide.
