Generator commissioned for a new customer in Austria
In line with a contract signed in March 2021 with the Austrian utility company TIWAG, we successfully commissioned a generator at the Schwarzach Hydropower Plant (HPP) in East Tyrol, Austria, in March this year.
The plant, originally designed with one generator, was upgraded to include a second unit. Our contract covered the design, manufacturing, delivery, installation, and commissioning of the new generator, alongside the excitation system provided by KONČAR – Electronics and Informatics. Additionally, the project involved a month-long testing and trial operation phase to ensure optimal performance.
As this represented an inaugural project in the cooperation with the new customer, the challenge was to meet all customer’s requirements and contractual criteria.
The customer was exceptionally satisfied with the quality of the product and the technical performance demonstrated during the first mechanical run of the 12.5 MVA, 500 rpm, 50 Hz, 6.3 kV generator.
