Hydropower Plant Rävmarken
Complete modernization of control and hydraulics, with automatic water-level and electricity-price control for yield-optimized operation.
Fully automated operation from a large reservoir
Hydropower Plant Rävmarken in Sweden operates at 35 m head, 1,200 l/s flow and 320 kW output. Its machinery consists of a Francis turbine with an asynchronous generator.
The project covered the complete plant control system, including a new control cabinet and hydraulic power unit. Reactive-power compensation was added, and the control system was extended with automatic water-level control.
A central element of the modernization is fully automatic electricity-price control: generation from the large reservoir is scheduled for periods with particularly high market prices.
Rävmarken therefore combines robust machinery with automated operation, controlled water levels and a market-price-oriented generation strategy.
- Control system: Complete plant control system with a new control cabinet.
- Hydraulics: New hydraulic power unit for plant functions.
- Grid technology: Reactive-power compensation added.
- Optimization: Automatic water-level and electricity-price control.
