Harnessing the natural power of water and putting it to work for humanity has always been our fascinating corporate mission. Since the mighty iron water wheels gave way to modern hydro turbines, the traditional business of Maschinenfabrik J.M. Voith GmbH, now Voith Hydro GmbH & Co. KG, has flourished. Today a leading supplier of hydroelectric equipment and services, Voith Hydro offers a full line of hydro power plant equipment, pumps, automation, modernization of existing plants, and management services.
Computer-supported
research and testing methods, along with modern design and production
techniques from Voith Hydro, have paved the way for major advances in
optimizing both the efficiency and the design of hydroelectric power plants.
Today, there are new ways to leverage the ecological advantages of
hydropower more cost-efficiently than in the past.
The need for a sufficient supply of electricity cannot be denied. Nor can the advantages that hydropower offers in satisfying that need.
Today, hydropower accounts for just under 20 percent of the world's electricity, clearly playing a crucial role in the competition among energy sources. But its share could be much larger. If harnessed, the world's undeveloped hydropower could generate another 15 billion MWh of electricity per year. A mere 15% of hydropower's potential is presently utilized.
