I get plenty of power in the wintertime for my needs, but the water flow trends towards the smaller volume during the late summer and my power requirements stay the same.
I can't provide exact measurements of the Pelton wheel at the moment, will do so next week. My recollection is that the wheel is about 14" in diameter. 2 side-by-side cups per spoke, 8 spokes, cups 1.5" in diameter. 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.
