Design and construction of a pelton wheel turbine for power generation is under taken. The pelton wheel turbine is a type of impulse turbine which under the atmospheric pressure and on this head which lies in the range of 200m. The pelton wheel turbine is an axial flow turbine. This work includes among other things the change in design parameter such as the change in discharge of water by which the velocity of jet changes due to change on the force exerted by the jet on the bucket which is responsible for the bucket movement which means the change in the speed of the runner with respect to the change in the jet velocity. The speed of the runner changes by two methods: first, is to change the discharge as well as the jet velocity which can be done by change in head and second, is the modification in the runner. Here the method used is changing the jet velocity by running at different and various height of 2.3m, 2m and 1.45m to ensure that experimental and calculations are made and graphical analysis obtained from the designed values.
