In the presentation “Replacing Historical Francis Turbines with Variable-Speed Propeller Turbines – Efficiency Increase with Minimal Structural Effort” we demonstrated how historical hydropower plants can be made future-proof with intelligent modernization concepts – sustainable, efficient, and with minimal intervention in the existing structure.
Our solutions at a glance:
-
Increased efficiency through variable-speed propeller turbines
-
Sustainable, low-maintenance retrofit concepts
-
Minimal structural modifications during implementation
The numerous discussions afterwards confirmed the strong practical interest. Our approaches offer particularly attractive modernization opportunities for operators of historical Francis turbines.
A heartfelt thank-you goes to the organizers, Prof. Dr. Jaberg und Partner GmbH, for the excellent organization.
Are you still operating historical Francis turbines and considering modernization? Then feel free to get in touch with us – we look forward to the exchange!
