Customized turbine design, in combination with the latest generation of power electronics guarantees high efficiencies of the complete Turbine-Generator-Inverter-Unit from water to wire.
According to the singular requirements of each power plant FELLA Maschinenbau GmbH provides individual solutions (design, manufacturing, delivery, installation, start up, after sales service).
Range of Application of the DIVE-Turbine:
- Head between 2 m and 25 m
- Discharge from 1.5 m³/s up to 20 m³/s per turbine unit
- Rated power from 50 kW up to 1.000 kW per turbine unit
- New hydro power plants
- Refurbishment and reactivation of existing power plants
- Repowering of existing power plants
- Integration in existing weirs (residual flow)
- Integration in already existing buildings and existing canal systems.
- Save operation in flood prone sites
- Save operation in salt and drain water plant
