Bill: 120 PSI=277 feet head =85 meter head
The Subject says 180 PSI, clear it up !! Though you have a 2 inch pipe, you have not determined what water volume you may have. What is the length of the 2 inch pipe ?. Just for info 150 GPM=9.5 liter/second will have about 15 PSI drop for each 100 feet of 2 inch pipe length. Your idea of a Pelton with 4 Nozzles and a 24 volts set up may not be proper since you have not given enough information. For this Head even a Turgo turbine may be better, also I question 4 Nozzles. Be more realistic and show what you have and what you expect to have or desire to attain. Just because you may have occasional raging brown liquid speedway -- that does not allow us to assist you. With the pressure you have and with 50 GPM=3.15 liter/second you may be able to generate around 1.1 to 1.5 KW and for that power is not practical to use a 24 volt system, a 115 Vac would me more practical. So inform !!
