In-pipe hydropower vertical axis parallel turbines prototype: performance and workability testing
An improvised version of a vertical axis twin turbine in-pipe hydropower prototype, with bigger power generation (PG) channels and turbines as compared to the previous one was developed and designated as P40. The P40 was fabricated mainly using mild steel. This study aims to evaluate the flow proper...

An improvised version of a vertical axis twin turbine in-pipe hydropower prototype, with bigger power generation (PG) channels and turbines as compared to the previous one was developed and designated as P40. The P40 was fabricated mainly using mild steel. This study aims to evaluate the flow properties, power generation performance, and workability of the P40. At the maximum flow rate of 0.076 m(3)/s, each of the PG channels at both sides of the P40 allowed about 13% of the water to flow through them and the P40 absorbed 34.4% of the 1.25 bar stagnation pressure of the flow.
