Hydro Power Solutions
Accelerating a more
sustainable future with
high-performance
hydro power solutions
Ever-increasing demand for energy has turned the spotlight on one of the most environmentally-friendly, sustainable forms of power production – hydroelectric power.
Toshiba has been manufacturing hydraulic turbines and generators for nearly 120 years and is a leading supplier with installations around the world. Through a rigorous quality assurance program, Toshiba’s two hydraulic turbine/generator manufacturing facilities supply high-performance, high-reliability turbines and generators for small to large installations.
Toshiba not only designs, manufactures, and delivers the main hydro-turbines and hydro-generators, but also the various components needed to support plant operations. Our holistic approach provides a total engineering service package from procurement and installation, to testing and commissioning.
Hydro Turbine and Generator
Toshiba offers a variety of hydro power generation system that best suit the topographical conditions and customer needs.
Hydro-turbines are available in many types and shapes to suit the operating conditions (discharge, head). We offer hydro-turbines to meet various requirements (geographical conditions) unique to each hydro power plant installation site.
The main types of hydro-turbines include pump-turbines for pumped-storage power generation, Francis turbines for moderate to high head, Kaplan turbines for low to moderate head and bulb turbines (that utilize the head energy of water as pressure) for low head, and Pelton turbines (that directly utilizes potential energy as rotational energy) for high head.
Pumped Storage
Steam Turbine Maintenance
- Automatic frequency adjustment function during pumping operations
- Higher efficiency and expanded operation range during both generating and pumping operations
- Functionality for maintaining the grid voltage
- Improved power grid stability
Monitoring and
Control Systems
Monitoring and control systems are the central equipment for running a hydro power plant. These systems are not only used for daily operation controls and monitoring, but are also equipped with a protection system to protect the equipment in case of an accident, a recording system to record accident information, and a communication system for communications between the power plant and a remote control room.
Our monitoring solutions are designed to support our entire product range from small to large hydroelectric plants, and large-scale pumped-storage power generation plants.
