Summary
The simplifid variable pitch turbine was installed and became operational in April, 1983. Conclusions, based upon the turbine's initial year of commercial service, are as follows: (1) The turbine project was successful in terms of demonstrating that small local shops can produce a reliable, efficient, low cost turbine. (2) Design concepts were tested and proved to be sound. Concepts such as the use of variable guide vanes as an inexpensive, primary means of load control, the use of rubber bearings, a high speed direct coupled generator and standard pipe components were among those tested. (3) Commercialization opportunities for specific site conditions clearly exist; a second unit has already been constructed and two more are currently in construction on a 1984 year end delivery schedule.
