Wasserkraft Volk AG products

The robust and almost indestructible solution with very good full-load and partial-load efficiencies for high heads and heavily fluctuating flow rates, even with water rich in floating debris. For water heads between 60 and 1,500 m with power outputs of up to around 35 MW per unit.

Operators can do almost nothing wrong when having this flexible turbine with the highest peak efficiency. Designed for water heads of up to approx. 300 m and power outputs of up to around 35 MW per unit.

It combines the advantages of the Pelton and Francis turbines. Designed for water heads between 50 and 300 m, with very good partial-load efficiency, high floating-debris tolerance and power outputs of up to 10 MW; it is suitable for challenging sites with variable water flows.

Our patented compact solution for smaller applications. Water heads between 5 and 150 m, a flat efficiency curve and power outputs of up to around 3 MW guarantee high energy profits in a wide output range.

The solution for high energy production with heavily varying flow rates at low heads. Designed for water heads between 2,5 and approx. 30 m and large water flows. Achieving high efficiencies, even at partial loads with single- or double-regulated systems. WKV offers power outputs of up to 10 MW per unit, others on demand.

High-efficiency synchronous generators made by WKV. An indestructible design and excellent efficiency for reliable energy production. The effectiveness of a generator is determined by the interaction between the main generator (internal pole machine) and the excitation generator (outer pole machine). That is the principle. The secret of our high-performance synchronous generators lies in every detail of our in-house developments. The entire construction is designed for durability and maximum resilience in continuous operation. This can be seen just by glancing at the massive components and the careful processing. So that our customers can obtain optimised electrical energy from every drop of water throughout many years.

Hydropower only becomes really efficient and reliable when the materials, the mechanics and the control technology work together perfectly. Whether it is the control and protection technology of the power station or real-time monitoring via smartphone and a tablet, regardless the location: With All-in-one solutions from WKV, you have technology and profits safely under control. Everything for the safe and needs-based operation of your hydroelectric power station.
