Kninicky
Czech Republic - reconstruction of the original plant from 1941.
Project review
Reconstruction of the Kninicky power plant was carried out between March 2009 and June 2010. Its main target was to increase efficiency of the generator (in all operational modes), particularly at lower heads.
Other parts of the project included complete automation of the plant, remote control system, and optimalization of the operation in order to maximize the annual production and revenue.
Modernization of the plant enabled output increase up to 3.2 MW and flow increase up to 21 m3/s.
Provided services
HYDROPOL provided construction, permitting of the project and was a general contractor.
Modernization included replacement of the turbine, generator rewinding (including magnetic circuit), complex automation, replacement of the high voltage switching station, installation of the new trash rack cleaning machine and ball closing valve.
