Today we have over10 years of valuable experience in small power station operation. Our operation experience has provided a unique opportunity to specially adapt our equipment to Norwegian conditions; with (among other things) icing problems, large amounts of leaves in intake screens and a highly varying rate of flow. We have also developed several types of electric switchboards as well as control- and governing systems. This equipment can of course be tailor-made to suit the customers’ needs. In order to supply our customers with information about potential and costs as soon as possible, we have compiled data models and computer programs enabling us to present the necessary data for turbine design within a few minutes. It is a prerequisite that the customer can supply us with the necessary input, consisting of head of water, medium run-off, catchment area and length of waterway. With these data available we are able to calculate turbine and waterway costs, and can then supply the customer with a budget price for equipment and an estimate of the total economy of his project. |
