Douglas : Please indicate the Pelton parameters like diameter, cup etc.
I presume that you want additional power, am I right ?. The power may increase to the ratio of 180/50 = 3.6 with the same water volume giving about 21 KW , so you may need a new generator if the Pelton is capable of handling such power increase.
