A two‐stage, multi‐objective optimization approach is proposed to improve the overall efficiency of the time‐consuming and computationally expensive optimization process for hydraulic turbines. The purpose is to optimize the shape of the turbine blades, designed using 30 parameters, in order to maxi...
