Commissioning of G1 generator at Borgforsen HPP, Sweden
On March 1, 2023, the final inspection and commissioning of G1 generator at the Borgforsen Hydroelectric Plant in Sweden was completed, successfully concluding the generator's revitalization and power upgrade project.
This project is part of the ongoing revitalization of both units at Borgforsen, which began with the overhaul of G2 generator in 2014.
The scope of the contract, signed in 2017, included the delivery of a new stator, pole re-insulation, and refurbishment of all existing parts for G1 generator, which is rated at 19 MVA, 6.6 kV, and 150 rpm. However, amid the outbreak of the pandemic, the customer had pushed back field operations and they were carried out in 2022.
The completion of this contract further solidifies our long-established collaboration with Sydkraft AB, a leader in Sweden’s energy sector. Over the last decade, we have partnered with Sydkraft on projects at seven major hydropower plants, and we are currently managing three active contracts for generator refurbishments at the Forsse, Moforsen, and Balforsen plants.
Over the course of a decade we have refurbished a total of 23 generators at 19 hydropower plants in Sweden.
