Typical Equipment
- Turbines
- Pumps and pump-turbines
- Generators
- Transformers
- Switchgear
- Control systems
- Protection systems
The power house with turbine, generator, transformer and switchgear is the center of every hydropower plant. The other mechanical and electrical systems are necessary to let the power set-up function as a plant.
Major considerations for establishing the design criteria for the dimensioning and lay-out of the electro-mechanical equipment must comprise:
- Selecting equipment compatible with modern international practice
- Taking into account domestic experience of the clients' organisation and country
- Mitigating the effects of sediment content of the water used for power generation by appropriate material selection
- Choosing a maintenance-friendly design
- Paying attention to the climatic conditions at the project site.
