Our turnkey hydro generators are designed and manufactured to meet customer-specific needs:
- For Kaplan and Francis turbines: up to 250 MVA
- For Pelton turbines: up to 120 MVA
- Bulb type generators: up to 45 MVA
Design and engineering
Using state-of-the-art techniques allows us to calculate the various components and the complete generator. We have a suite of computational tools at our disposal, including proprietary software for electromagnetic calculations, ventilation, and heat analysis, alongside industry-standard tools such as Autodesk Simulation, AutoCAD, Rotlat, Mitcalc, OpenFOAM, Magnet, SolidWorks Simulation, Neplan 360, and others.
Quality control
Control monitors the entire manufacturing process, starting from the intake of raw materials and components at the factory (Input and Mechanical Inspection) through manufacturing (Input and Mechanical Inspection, including Interim Electrical Control) and final delivery and commissioning at the power plant (Final Electrical Control Department). Through collaborative efforts with other departments, we achieve superior control over the manufacturing process, components and the generator, all designed to ensure long-term reliable operation within hydropower plants.
Manufacturing
Leveraging the advantages of in-house manufacturing, we offer efficient adaptations that are often synonymous with our products and services. Our notable manufacturing activities include the manufacturing of stator laminations (punching or laser cutting), lamination, rotor and stator windings, locksmith services, mechanical machining, and assembly works.
