Going on with the implementation of innovative solutions for hydroelectric plants with very low environmental impact

STE Energy has been awarded, by an important player in the electricity sector, the design development of a power plant with a VLH turbine located in Italy. This is the first step towards the construction of the new plant to be completed in the first quarter of 2022.

The new plant will take advantage of the head of an existing protection barrier in one of the main rivers in northern Italy: considering the possible significant flow of the river, the turbine will be equipped with an upgraded trash rack cleaning system provided with a telescopic arm.

Another VLH turbine will provide renewable energy to the Italian national grid by the end of 2021. A new contract has been signed for the construction of a hydropower plant with a VLH turbine (vlh-turbine.com) of over 300kW in the province of Pavia. The plant will take advantage of the existing head created by a protection barrier of a bridge over the Terdoppio river.

This VLH will be equipped with the new innovative trash rack as well as the automatic sediment trap system installed on the bottom of the machine.

The commissioning of a new small hydro power plant on the Nera river has been completed. The plant uses the ecological flow of an existing dam in Terni, thanks to the installation of an innovative siphon turbine that exploits the available head of approximately 6 meters.
