Turbine controller
The turbine controller is as a main part of an
unit used to convert the existing hydraulic
energy to electrical energy on a most effici-
ent way. It ensures a stable speed of the
turbine in no-load-operation as well as is-
land-mode and guarantees the adherence

copes with the increased challanges for the
turbine controller with regards to frequency
and primary controls. The requirements of
the different turbine types (Francis, Kaplan
or Pelton) and sizes of the units are suppor-
ted by a modular application concept.

electrical systems used in a wide frequency
range (50, 60, 16.7 Hz nominal).

HIPASE-S provides enhanced setting fea-
