Francis Turbines

Francis turbines are most suited or low to medium head applications and have a variable ow range which generally

extends rom 40-110% o the nominal ow rate. The ow rate or power output is controlled by opening or closing the guide

vanes. Tamars Francis machines are oten employed as revenue generating alternatives or pressure reducing

valves in existing water inrastructure.

Features o Tamar Francis turbines

Compact design with limited maintenance.

High efciency

Can be manuactured in a range o materials to suit the customers requirements

Can be confgured as either horizontal or vertical machines

Can be readily integrated into existing water inrastructure

Direct coupling to a generator is oten possible to minimise the installation and maintenance requirements

Manual or ully automated ow regulation

Can be designed and built to operate on sewerage and other process euent.

Output to 10MW per machine

Pump as Turbine

Tamars range o pump as turbine machines are ideal orlow to medium head applications where the head and owremain relatively constant. This range o machines havesimilar characteristics to the Francis Turbine, howeverwithout the movable guide vanes.

Features o Tamar Pump as Turbines

Low cost due to simplicity and mass manuacturing Simplicity ensures minimal maintenance requirements

Kaplan

Kaplan turbines are recommended or low head applications. They generally have a ow range extending rom 30 - 110%

o the nominal ow rate. Double Regulated Kaplan turbines have both variable guide vanes and runner blades which ensure

a high and at efciency curve across the entire ow range. These turbines can also be oered as single regulating and fxed

ow (propeller) machines.

Features o Tamar Kaplan turbines

Compact design

Designed and manuactured or minimal maintenance


Can be confgured as either horizontal or vertical machines

Can be inserted into pipelines to generate power rom excess pressure

Manual or ully automated ow regulation

Can be retroftted into existing weirs, dams etc. with minimal civil works

Propeller (Fixed Flow) machines oer signifcant cost savings where head and ow are relatively constant

Turgo

Turgo Impulse turbines are applicable or medium to high head applications and overlap the boundary o Pelton and Francis

machines. These turbines are well suited to run o river schemes as they can tolerate some dirty water and perorm well

over a wide ow range. Whilst their peak efciency is lower than Francis machines, they can oten generate more energydue to their at efciency curve and high partial load efciency, and as such can be preerable where considerable water

supply uctuations are experienced. The use o deectors can mitigate issues o pressure surges in the upstream pipework,

even on ull load rejections.

Features o Tamar Turgo turbines

Compact design

Available in single, twin or three jet confgurations

Robust design and manuacture

Designed or minimal maintenance

Fixed, manually variable or ully automated ow regulation

Horizontal or vertical confguration

Pelton

Pelton turbines are designed or high head applications. These machines are impulse turbines using the kinetic energy

o water impinging on the runner bucket to turn the generator shat. Pelton turbines can handle wide ow variations

down to 10% o nominal ow. Their at efciency curves yield excellent perormance over this wide operating range.

Features o Tamar Pelton turbines

Compact design

Designed and manuactured or minimal maintenance

Flexibility o either horizontal or vertical installation

Available in one to six nozzle confgurations


Fixed, manually variable or ully automated ow regulation

Runner options include ully CNC machined orgings or manually polished castings.Pin on buckets are used or smaller machines.

The turbine is pivotal to the success o any hydro project; urthermore, the turbine requires careul integration

with the civil, hydraulic, electrical and mechanical portions o the project.

Tamar have many years o hydro experience and completed around two hundred successul hydro schemes. As such we are

best placed to oer an optimally integrated hydro package. Whilst the turbine Selection Chart below provides a quick guide

to the operating range o the types o Tamars turbine types, it can be seen that there is signifcant overlap on the duty o

these machines. As the ideal turbine selection or a given application and site is dependent on many parameters, we highly

recommend that the customer consults with our experienced hydro engineers to discuss the optimal selection or the project.

Integrated Solutions

Hydroturbines

Water to Wire Solutions

Tamars specialty is water to wire turnkey packages. As the majority

o all design work is in house, our engineered hydro power solutions

are exible and each design ensures that the best possible solution is

achieved or our client. Every package is engineered to ensure the highestpossible reliability and value or money. Tamars turnkey packages result in

maximum efciency, shorter delivery times, streamlined installation periods

and optimised power house dimensions. As such, our solutions make

hydroelectric power plants as economical as possible or our customers.

Whilst our ocus is on complete solutions or electromechanical equipment

supply, install, commission and service or hydroelectric power plants, we

are happy to work with our customers to defne the best scope required to

meet their requirements.

Tamar specialise in both grid connected units and o-grid or stand-alone

units. For stand-alone projects, complete electro-hydraulic and electronic

governing systems are utilized to provide utility-quality power or remote

sites. For grid connected installations a range o control systems are

available, ranging rom basic grid connect packages to complex PLC based

control systems to meet our customers requirements.

Containerised Hydro Power Solutions

Tamars turnkey containerised systems consist o complete hydro power

plants ully installed within a shipping container at the actory. These high

quality units are as close to plug and play as possible and have numerous

advantages over traditional hydro installations. Fully integrated power plants

are possible with options such as lighting, ventilation, overhead cranes etc.

Features o Tamars Containerised turbines

Simplifed installation consisting o:

- Positioning and restraint o the container

- Connection o inlet penstock and drat tube

- Termination o electrical connection

Simplifed shipping and customs clearance

Substantially reduced site installation and commissioning costs

Signifcantly reduced civil costs

- Construction o a powerhouse or slab is not required

Retro-Fitted Hydro Turbine Installations

Tamar has extensive experience in developing and implementing retroftted

hydro power solutions designed to exploit the potential energy and improve

the efciency o existing utilities and water systems. Over the past 35

years, Tamar has installed many thousands o kW o hydro electric power

in existing irrigation schemes, waste water systems, storage dams and into

existing water utility inrastructure.

With the rising costs o power, more and more organisations are searching

or ways to improve efciency and reduce operating costs. Tamars Hydro

Turbines present a viable option in a wide range o circumstances and

can provide a cost eective solution to achieve the best efciency and

can signifcantly reduce the carbon ootprint o systems by extracting

the potential energy which is otherwise wasted. Tamar can design and

manuacture mini hydro systems to replace pressure reducing valves, which

not only generate electricity, but also eliminate the noise pollution developed

by dissipating valves.

Tamars experienced hydroelectric consulting engineers can conduct site

audits and evaluations to determine the potential power available in existing

systems and can provide advice in regards to the best possible method o

exploiting these resources.
