In our YouTube channel, there is a new video with several photos and details of plants and turbines.
The main features of this work are:

  • 4 plants placed along the entire valley
  • 10 hydroelectric turbines of which seven of Francis type and three of Pelton type in order to optimize the production of electricity according to the availability of water.
  • 7,2 MW of total power
  • Automatic starting and stopping of each turbine based on the amount of water available.
  • Complete monitoring of all operating parameters to instantly detect failures, faults and / or possible improvements to be implemented.

Each plant is interconnected by a fiber optic backbone which guarantees a very fast and reliable connection. Through this channel, operators can monitor and command a plant while not physically in it.

The production data and operating statistics has been made public through a web application developed by Tecnoespe; this software allows registered users to monitor every single turbine displaying real-time data and historical data.
