Abstract: Hydropower is a renewable source of energy, which is economical, nonpolluting and environmental friendly among all renewable sources of energy. Hence, hydropower has become one of the most suitable and efficient source of renewable energy. Flywheel turbine is a new type of low head impulse turbine that is specifically built to harness energy from water stored at very low heads i.e.1 to 3m.The conventional Pelton turbines are used for power generation from water stored at high heads.
