Hydropower Knowledge

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 »

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 »
