This enabled a cost-effective and light-weight solution when compared with the previous metallic turbine blade design. Based on the complex-shaped hydro-dynamically designed geometry, a method to ...

Hydroelectricity is basically electricity generated from the kinetic energy in moving water. It’s important to understand that the water doesn’t need to be falling, just moving! Energy created this ...

Voith Hydro in 2022 replaced four vertical Pelton turbines at Verbund’s 75-year-old 326-GWh Gerlos 1 hydropower facility in Austria with a first-of-its-kind horizontal six-nozzle Pelton turbine.

Blocked passages for fish and turbine-induced mortality of downstream migrating fish are major environmental issues for hydropower projects. Direct spillage is one method to protect downstream fish ...

Today’s hydroelectric reaction-type turbines are usually constructed with draft tubes. These civil structures have no moving parts. Their design is usually the responsibility of the turbine ...
