The Turgo turbine has advantages over other turbine designs. It is less expensive to produce than a Pelton wheel, does not require an airtight housing like the Francis turbine, and can handle greater water flow than a Pelton wheel of the same diameter, reducing costs.

2. It doesn't need an airtight housing like the Francis.

3. It has higher specific speed and can handle a greater flow than the same diameter Pelton wheel, leading to reduced generator and installation cost.
