Whirlpool turbines generate higher average braking power than vortex turbines across varied hydraulic heads, delivering superior efficiency at lower water levels.
Whirlpool turbines produced an average braking power of 4.89 W at 0.67 m head height, outperforming vortex turbines while maintaining stable generator power.
Comparative experimental testing of conical basin angles reveals that a 67° angle enhances overall braking power, supporting targeted turbine selection for low heads.
