A wicket gate, or guide vane, is a component of water turbines to control the flow of
water that enters the turbine. A series of small openings of the wicket gates surround the
turbine. When the wicket gates are opened wider, more water will flow into the turbine
runner which results in higher power output. The control of wicket gate opening and
closing will allow the output energy generated by the turbines to be controlled to match
the desired output energy levels.
