The Mettur Dam primarily uses Francis turbines for its hydroelectric power generation. These turbines are well-suited for medium to high water head applications and are known for their efficiency and ability to handle varying water flow conditions. The design of Francis turbines allows them to effectively convert the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electricity.
