The Kaplan turbine is also referred to as an overpressure turbine because the water pressure decreases continuously from the entry into the runner to the exit. Both the blades of the runner (similar to a propeller) and the guide vanes of the turbine are adjustable.<\/p>\n<p>The guide vanes ensure that the water hits the runner blades at an optimal angle and transfers the energy optimally. This double regulation makes optimal use of the available water and always achieves the best possible efficiency.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2657&#8243; img_size=&#8221;600&#215;375&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Optimization of the Kaplan turbine by WWS Wasserkraft&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]The Kaplan turbine has been generating renewable energy for more than 100 years, but there are always opportunities for optimization. State-of-the-art CFD simulations and the use of three-dimensional computer networks allow project-specific adjustments to the blade geometry and improvements to the suction height.<\/p>\n<p>Based on this CFD calculation, WWS has developed many different geometries for Kaplan runner blades and the associated spiral housing and draft tube properties to cover all customer-specific areas of
