The WWS PowerGate was specifically developed for the economical utilization of small amounts of water and low head. The turbine is suitable for a flow of 1-5 m³/s and a head of 1.5-5 m. The WWS PowerGate is a complete package that, thanks to its compact design, can be delivered pre-assembled and thus enables quick and easy installation. The WWS PowerGate is therefore the most economical and comfortable solution for projects up to 100kW in which usually a conventional Kaplan turbine would be used.

Turbines
WWS Wasserkraft - Kaplan Turbine
The Austrian engineer Viktor Kaplan revolutionized energy generation in 1913 with the further development of the Francis turbine. Since then, this turbine is named Kaplan turbine.
WWS Wasserkraft - Francis Turbine
Francis turbines are ideal for medium head (10-200m) and medium flow rates. They can be used in both run-of-river and storage power plants and are the most common type of turbine.
WWS Wasserkraft - Pelton Turbine
Pelton turbines are ideal for very large heights (80m to 1000m) and small amounts of water. A major advantage of the Pelton turbine is that each individual nozzle can be controlled separately. Fluctuations in the amount of water are therefore not a problem and can be processed easily and efficiently.
