FORSTER is deploying turbines with fish safety and other hydropower systems that mimic natural river conditions. Through novel, fish safe turbines and other functions designed to mimic natural river conditions, FORSTER says this system can bridge the gap between power plant efficiency and environ...Read more »

A water turbine is a machine that converts the potential energy of water into mechanical energy. Using this machine to drive a generator, the water energy can be converted into Electricity This is the hydro-generator set. Modern hydraulic turbines can be divided into two categories according to ...Read more »

Turbine refers to a hydroelectric transmission device that converts the thermal effect of water flow into rotational mechanical kinetic energy. The key is used in hydropower plants to drive wind turbines to generate electromagnetic energy, which is an important electromechanical equipment for hyd...Read more »

Small-scale hydropower generation (referred to as small hydropower) has no consistent definition and demarcation of capacity range in countries around the world. Even in the same country, at different times, the standards are not the same. Generally, according to the installed capacity, small hyd...Read more »

Hydropower is the process of converting natural water energy into electrical energy using engineering measures. It is the basic way of water energy utilization. The advantages are that it does not consume fuel, does not pollute the environment, the water energy can be continuously replenished by ...Read more »

There is no direct relationship between the AC frequency and the engine speed of the hydropower station, but there is an indirect relationship. No matter what type of power generation equipment it is, after generating electricity, it needs to transmit electricity to the power grid, that is, the ...Read more »

One view is that although Sichuan is now fully transmitting electricity to ensure electricity consumption, the decline in hydropower far exceeds the maximum transmission power of the transmission network. It can also be seen that there is a gap in the full-load operation of local thermal power. ...Read more »

Hydraulic turbine model test bed plays an important role in the development of hydropower technology. It is an important equipment to improve the quality of hydropower products and optimize the performance of units. For the production of any runner, the model runner must be developed first, and t...Read more »

Recently, Sichuan Province issued the document “emergency notice on expanding the scope of power supply for industrial enterprises and the people”, requiring all power users to stop production for 6 days in the orderly power consumption scheme. As a result, a large number of listed co...Read more »

In recent years, the pace of hydropower development has made steady progress and the toughness of development has increased. Hydropower generation does not consume mineral energy. The development of hydropower is conducive to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the ecological environ...Read more »

On March 3, 2022, there was a power outage without warning in Taiwan Province. The outage affected a wide range, directly causing 5.49 million households to lose power and 1.34 million households to lose water. In addition to affecting the lives of ordinary people, public facilities and factories...Read more »

As a fast-response renewable energy source, hydropower usually plays the role of peak regulation and frequency regulation in the power grid, which means that hydropower units often need to operate under conditions that deviate from the design conditions. By analyzing a large number of test data, ...Read more »
