While Europe scrambles to procure natural gas for winter power generation and heating, Norway, the largest oil and gas producer in Western Europe, faced an entirely different power problem this summer — dry weather that depleted hydroelectric reservoirs, which Electricity generation accounts for ...Read more »

A water turbine, with the Kaplan, Pelton, and Francis turbines being the most common ones, is a large rotary machine that works to convert kinetic and potential energy into hydroelectricity. These modern equivalents of the water wheel have been used for over 135 years for industrial power generat...Read more »

Hydropower is by far the largest renewable worldwide, producing over twice as much energy as wind, and over four times as much as solar. And pumping water up a hill, aka “pumped storage hydropower”, comprises well over 90% of the world’s total energy storage capacity. But in spite of hydropower’...Read more »

Recently, Forster successfully delivered a 200KW Kaplan turbine to South American customers. It is expected that customers can receive the long-awaited turbine in 20 days. 200KW Kaplan turbine generator specifications are as follows Rated head 8.15 m Design flow 3.6m3/s Maximum flow 8.0m3/s Mini...Read more »

1、 The output of wheel generator decreases （1） Cause Under the condition of constant water head, when the guide vane opening has reached the no-load opening, but the turbine has not reached the rated speed, or when the guide vane opening is increased than the original at the same output, it ...Read more »

1、 Items to be checked before startup: 1. Check whether the inlet gate valve is fully open; 2. Check whether all cooling water is fully opened; 3. Check whether the bearing lubricating oil level is normal;Shall be located; 4. Check whether the instrument network voltage and frequency paramet...Read more »

Both hydropower and thermal power must have an exciter. The exciter is generally connected to the same large shaft as the generator. When the large shaft rotates under the drive of the prime mover, it simultaneously drives the generator and the exciter to rotate. The exciter is a DC generator tha...Read more »

Hydropower is to convert the water energy of natural rivers into electricity for people to use. There are various sources of energy used in power generation, such as solar energy, water power in rivers, and wind power generated by air flow. The cost of hydropower generation using hydropower is ch...Read more »

AC frequency is not directly related to the engine speed of hydropower station, but it is indirectly related. No matter what type of power generation equipment, it is necessary to transmit electric energy to the power grid after generating electric energy, that is, the generator needs to be conne...Read more »

ackground on the repair of turbine main shaft wear During the inspection process, the maintenance personnel of a hydropower station found that the noise of the turbine was too loud, and the temperature of the bearing continued to rise. Since the company does not have the shaft replacement condit...Read more »

Reaction turbine can be divided into Francis turbine, axial turbine, diagonal turbine and tubular turbine. In the Francis turbine, the water flows radially into the water guide mechanism and axially out of the runner; In the axial flow turbine, the water flows into the guide vane radially and int...Read more »
