Dynamic Model for Axial Motion of Horizontal Pelton Turbine and Validation in Actual Failure Case

Pelton turbines are important machines for power generation from a renewable energy source such as water. For power rates below 20 MW, the rotor of Pelton turbines is usually in horizontal position. Considering ideal mounting and operating conditions, there are no axial forces acting on the rotor. I...
