Small Hydropower Plants

In the field of renewable energy, our company specializes in generating “clean” energy from water and other renewable sources. Our comprehensive approach includes the preparation of feasibility studies and project documentation, as well as project implementation and warranty and post-warranty service.

We design and supply new small hydroelectric power plant solutions, and we carry out renovations and upgrades of existing systems.

We design optimal technical solutions for most locations across a wide range of head heights, from 1 m to 300 m, and with capacities ranging from 3 kW to 5 MW.

Our company focuses on innovative trends that increase yield and reduce costs.

The units and control systems are designed for parallel operation with the distribution grid as well as for island mode operation. The control system is equipped as standard with SMS communication based on GSM technology. If the small hydroelectric plant is connected to the internet, the system can also be monitored and controlled remotely using a PC, tablet, or smartphone. This configuration allows for unlimited control of the equipment regardless of distance or time.

Manufacture and repair of water turbines

We manufacture and supply our own water turbines of various types for small hydropower plants and micro-hydropower sources. When supplying technology for small hydropower plants, we also collaborate with other turbine manufacturers. We perform renovations and repairs on water turbines with lower power ratings. Thanks to our many years of experience, we are able to design the optimal technical solution for a specific location.

KAPLAN direct-flow turbines for low heads

The SEMIKAPLAN turbine system, featuring adjustable runner blades and a fixed guide vane, is an efficient technology for small hydroelectric power plants. Low capital costs, low operating costs, simple design, high reliability, and a long service life provide the best conditions for harnessing the hydroelectric potential of a power plant.

By utilizing state-of-the-art methods for hydraulic design, construction, and manufacturing technology, the turbines achieve excellent performance and efficiency parameters as well as outstanding cavitation resistance across a very wide range of power regulation. Compact units are available for head ranges from 1.4 to 6.5 m, comprising the entire hydraulic circuit of the power plant from the intake to the outlet of the suction pipe, including a built-in generator and components for fully automated operation.

Depending on the customer’s requirements and the conditions of the specific site, design and construction modifications can be made to ensure an optimal plant design and efficient operation.
