Turbogen Engineering - Hydro Power Dpt

Turbogen Engineering sagl, was set up in 1994 by a small group of engineers, who are specialists in the design and construction of water turbines.

The company designs and supplies Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines in the range 50kW to 5000kW.

Our products are of the highest quality. We have applied to our small machines, where appropriate for this range of turbines, the technologies and design methods normally associated with turbines over 100 MW. We consider that the result of our philosophy is the right product at the right price. Our turbines are not a low cost product; they are designed to last decades, with little maintenance by using the highest grades of materials, where appropriate. We do however take care not over engineer our products and thus strike a cost balance.

In addition to the quality of our products, we offer to our customers a personalised service. Turbines are designed and engineered taking into account customer preferences, operation and site requirements, to ensure that we fully fulfil all our customer’s requirements.

We also offer our experience to customers, who want to execute some of the scope of supply themselves. Under these circumstances we still give full support when maintenance, out of guarantee, is required.

Recently we have started to study a new range of standard Pelton turbines between 5kW and 100 kW, which can be installed by the homeowner. We can also offer a similar range of Kaplan turbines, which are produced by by our collaborative partner company “CARGO & KRAFT TURBIN SVERIGE AB” located in Skinnskatteberg Sweden.

Although our specialty is the turbine itself, with its controls, we can offer various other products and services related to hydro power plants :

For hydro powerplants we can supply :

  • Engineering and construction of Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines
  • Engineering and supply of control cubicles for water turbines
  • Engineering and supply of “Turn key” powerplants
  • Modernization and automation of old powerplants

WATER TURBINES RANGE

Our turbines are tailor-made for each plant, only the general design is standardised. We never adapt an existing machine to another plant. The efficiency of our turbines is guaranteed, and all the components, produced by others, are carefully selected from the best available on the market.
