Electrical Panel Revamp for a Hydroelectric Plant: +20% Annual Output
+20%
more annual output
The client
Hydroelectric plant with a variable-pitch Kaplan turbine (details available on request)
The challenge
The plant's control panel was outdated: it did not allow full remote management of the plant nor an automatic restart after a stop, resulting in lost production.
The solution
We carried out a complete revamp of the control panel, modernizing it with the latest Siemens and ASEM technologies, and implemented remote control for full off-site management of the plant.
The result
Thanks to the new automatic restart systems, annual production increased by roughly 20%.
