Kaplan Turbines
Advanced Hydropower Solutions for Low-Head Applications

At Hydro Energy s.c, we specialize in the design, manufacturing, and supply of Kaplan turbines, engineered for exceptional performance in low to medium-head hydropower plants. As a trusted global manufacturer of hydro turbines, we deliver tailored Kaplan turbine systems that provide outstanding energy efficiency, long-term durability, and seamless integration into both new and existing hydropower infrastructures.

Our Kaplan turbines are meticulously engineered using state-of-the-art technology, ensuring optimal adaptability to fluctuating flow rates and head conditions. Whether you’re developing a run-of-river project, retrofitting an aging facility, or constructing a municipal hydropower station, our turbines are built to meet your exact specifications and performance goals.

The Kaplan turbine is a propeller-type water turbine with adjustable blades and guide vanes, specifically designed for low-head, high-flow applications. Invented by Austrian engineer Viktor Kaplan in the early 20th century, this turbine is ideal for sites with heads typically ranging between 2 to 30 meters.

The unique feature of the Kaplan turbine is its ability to adjust blade angles dynamically, allowing it to maintain high efficiency across a wide range of flow conditions. This makes Kaplan turbines particularly effective in:

• Run-of-river hydropower plants

• Irrigation canal power recovery systems

• Tidal and low-head dam operations

• Urban and industrial energy generation

Advantages of Our Kaplan Turbines

Our Kaplan turbines are manufactured using high-grade materials, precision-machined components, and hydraulic designs optimized through CFD simulations and model testing. We provide both vertical and horizontal shaft configurations, as well as bulb, pit, and S-type variants, depending on site constraints and project requirements.

Key Features:

• High efficiency (up to 94%) across variable loads

• Adjustable runner blades and wicket gates for maximum hydraulic adaptability

• Compact, modular design for ease of installation and transport

• Stainless steel components for long-term corrosion resistance

• Low maintenance requirements and long service life (25–40 years)

• SCADA-compatible control systems for automated monitoring and operation

Whether you require a compact solution for a rural project or a high-capacity turbine for a utility-scale plant, we offer full customization to ensure your Kaplan turbine is perfectly matched to your hydraulic profile.

We are not just turbine suppliers—we are hydropower solution partners. Our turnkey approach includes complete engineering, project planning, and after-sales service. Each Kaplan turbine system is delivered with:

• Hydraulic design studies and performance curves

• Foundation and civil interface drawings

• Electromechanical integration plans

• Installation supervision and training

• Long-term technical support and spare parts supply

Our turbines are tested and certified according to international standards such as IEC 61116, ISO 9001, and IEEE guidelines, ensuring compliance, safety, and reliability.

Kaplan turbines are perfectly suited for:

• River and canal hydro stations
