Over the years, energy-saving and renewable energy facilities have been installed in some of its plants. With the official launch of Hong Kong’s...Read more »

According to the Code for Anti freezing Design of Hydraulic Structures, F400 concrete shall be used for the parts of structures that are important, severely frozen and difficult to repair in severe cold areas (the concrete shall be able to withstand 400 freeze-thaw cycles). According to this spec...Read more »

As we all know, hydropower is a kind of pollution-free, renewable and important clean energy. Vigorously developing the field of hydropower is conducive to easing the energy tension of countries, and hydropower is also of great significance to China. Due to the rapid economic development over the...Read more »

On September 15, the commencement ceremony of the preparatory project for Zhejiang Jiande Pumped Storage Power Station with a total installed capacity of 2.4 million kilowatts was held in Meicheng Town, Jiande City, Hangzhou, which is the largest pumped storage power station under construction in...Read more »

Hydropower is a kind of green sustainable renewable energy. The traditional unregulated runoff hydropower station has a great impact on fish. They will block the passage of the fish, and the water will even pull the fish into the water turbine, causing the fish to die. A team from Munich Universi...Read more »

1、 Overview of hydropower generation Hydroelectric power generation is to convert the water energy of natural rivers into electric energy for people to use. The energy sources used by power stations are diverse, such as solar energy, water power of rivers, and wind power generated by air flow. ...Read more »

Hydroelectric generator set is an energy conversion device that converts potential energy of water into electric energy. It is generally composed of water turbine, generator, governor, excitation system, cooling system and power station control equipment. (1) Hydraulic turbine: there are two type...Read more »

Penstock refers to the pipeline that transfers water to the hydraulic turbine from the reservoir or hydropower station leveling structure (forebay or surge chamber). It is an important part of hydropower station, characterized by steep slope, large internal water pressure, close to the power hous...Read more »

Water turbine is a power machine that converts the energy of water flow into the energy of rotating machinery. It belongs to the turbine machinery of fluid machinery. As early as 100 BC, the rudiment of water turbine – water turbine appeared in China, which was used to lift irrigation and d...Read more »

Flush the water turbine with potential energy or kinetic energy, and the water turbine starts to rotate. If we connect the generator to the water turbine, the generator can start to generate electricity. If we raise the water level to flush the turbine, the turbine speed will increase. Therefore,...Read more »

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 »
