HYDROPOWER
Hydropower transforms the potential energy of a mass of
water flowing in a river or stream with a certain vertical fall
(termed the “head”)

LOW HEAD:
Low head hydro power applications use river current or tidal flows of 30 meters or less to produce energy.
These applications do not need to dam or retain water to create hydraulic head, the head is only a few meters.
Using the current of a river or the naturally occurring tidal flow to create electricity may provide a renewable
energy source that will have a minimal impact on the environment.
These are hydro power plants that utilize the stream flow as it comes , without any storage being provided.
The three gorges dam in hubei,china has the world's largest instantaneous generating
capacity (22,500 MW).
The company is manufacturing small turbines and genset up to 1000 KW, complete with microprocessor based static
excitor system,microprocessor based digital governor, remote operation and telemetry and telecontrol system, chartless
recorder for data etc. The company has its own manufacturing and testing facilities at its works, in ghunna industrial area,
saharanpur, india
