What this sector demands of the machine
Written to what an engineer in this industry actually has to solve, not to a list of sector benefits.
The site defines the machine
Head, flow duration and runaway speed come from the hydrology, not from a product family.
Refurbishment within existing civil works
Most small-hydro work is replacement inside a powerhouse built decades ago, to the existing foundation.
Remote operation
Unmanned sites need instrumentation and remote monitoring that a standard machine does not carry.
Grid connection at a weak point
Small plants often connect at the end of a distribution feeder, which constrains the excitation specification.
Product families used in renewable energy
Hydro and Wind Machines
Generators matched to a specific site, head and rotor
Industrial Generators
Synchronous generators for prime, standby and cogeneration duty
Custom and Replacement Machines
When the machine that fits is no longer manufactured
