HydroelectricityHydroelectricity is one of the areas in which Leroy-Somer is able to maintain its leading position through innovation.Alternators from the Power range between 1 and 20 MVA , specially designed for hydraulic turbine drive systems, have been installed in hundreds of hydroelectric power stations throughout the world. This offer is complemented by asynchronous generator ranges, such as the G and SLSHR series varying in power from 11 to 1500 kW, and the GLSRPM permanent magnet synchronous generator series. This new permanent magnet generator technology, combined with the Powerdrive frequency converter, helps increase production because of its improved efficiency. The current range already meets requirements for numerous low and medium-power applications, depending on the turbine speed. Relying on its acknowledged expertise in the area of rotating electrical machines and low, medium and high-voltage alternators, LEROY-SOMER is thus able to offer reliable, innovative solutions which are just what this market requires. |
