Forster Eastern European Customer 250kW Hydropower Project Successfully Installed and Running Smoothly

For a dedicated hydroelectric project in the region, the challenge was clear: to maximize energy output from a medium-head site with variable water flow. The solution required not just a turbine, but a masterpiece of engineering efficiency. The answer: a custom-engineered 250kW Kaplan turbine from Forster.
The Kaplan turbine, renowned for its exceptional performance in low to medium head applications with fluctuating flow rates, was the ideal choice. Its adjustable blades and guide vanes allow it to maintain peak efficiency across a wide range of conditions, ensuring that every drop of water is converted into valuable, clean electricity.
Narrator: Forster’s engineers designed this specific 250kW unit with our Eastern European client’s unique operational data in mind. From the precise casting of the spiral casing to the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) optimized rotor blades, every component is built to the highest standards of Swiss quality and durability.

This isn’t just about generating power; it’s about providing reliability. The turbine is designed for seamless integration, easy maintenance, and decades of trouble-free operation. It represents a smart, long-term investment in renewable infrastructure.
Narrator: The benefits are substantial. This single 250kW Kaplan turbine will empower local communities, providing a stable, predictable source of electricity. It will offset significant amounts of CO2 emissions annually, contributing to national climate goals. Furthermore, it strengthens local energy security, reducing reliance on imported power and creating a self-sufficient future.
This project is a testament to a successful international collaboration. Forster’s expertise in tailor-made turbine solutions met our client’s vision for a greener tomorrow. It’s a partnership where technical excellence meets environmental responsibility.
Forster is proud to power progress in Eastern Europe. We don’t just build turbines; we build lasting relationships and provide the tools for a sustainable future.
This 250kW Kaplan turbine is more than machinery; it is a promise of efficiency, reliability, and clean energy, flowing steadily for generations to come.
