Hydropower generators
- The hydropower field requires generators with a high torque and low speeds, and high efficiency even in the partial load range
- To provide power in an energy efficient manner, permanently excited synchronous machines are used in connection with matching supply units
- Advantage: Thanks to high fee rates, more complex systems pay off relatively quickly compared to asynchronous machines
The following shows an example of an application-specific solution that FGB developed for a 30 kW water turbine:
- Switch-over from the asynchronous motor currently used by the customer to synchronous technology
- This allows the possibility of continuous optimum feed also for variable water levels
- Here: output 30 kW at a speed of 750 rpm
- But the development of highly efficient generators with much higher output parameters (up to 100 W) is also possible
Any questions about this? We will be happy to advise you about various generator technology topics and regenerative energy production. Just ask us!
