Integration of turbines (e.g., Kaplan, Pelton, Francis) and generators. For small-scale plants, specialized hydraulic machines for low heads and small discharges are often used. 3. Operation (Betrieb)
The planning phase determines the technical and economic feasibility of a project.
Installation of gates, trash racks, and cleaning machines.
Regular inspections of the civil structures and mechanical parts to prevent failures.
Construction of dams, weirs, and powerhouses. Modern projects increasingly follow Eurocode standards for structural design.
Designing the intake structures, penstocks (Triebwassersysteme), and surge tanks to manage water flow and pressure changes.
Using sensors and automated systems to manage water levels and grid frequency.
The 6th edition of the book is available via Springer-Vieweg or ResearchGate .
