Beyhan-1<br />
Large Francis units for Turkey<br />
An international consortium<br />
led by <strong>ANDRITZ</strong> <strong>HYDRO</strong> has<br />
received an order from<br />
Kalehan Enerji Üretim ve Ticaret<br />
A.S. for supply and installation of<br />
electromechanical equipment for<br />
the Beyhan-1 hydropower plant<br />
in Turkey.<br />
This represents the first of four Kalehan<br />
Enerji hydropower projects planned on<br />
the Murat river in the eastern part of<br />
the country.<br />
The consortium’s supply scope includes<br />
three turbine-generator units, transformers,<br />
switchgear and all of the electrical<br />
equipment. <strong>In</strong> addition, a small-scale<br />
hydropower unit will be delivered to<br />
generate power from ecological water<br />
fl ows. This is done in order to preserve<br />
its fauna and fl ora.<br />
Each of the three 186 MW Francis<br />
turbines to be supplied by <strong>ANDRITZ</strong><br />
<strong>HYDRO</strong> has remarkable dimensions:<br />
With a runner weight of more than<br />
80 tons and a maximum diameter of<br />
▼ Current site works on the Murat river, Turkey<br />
▲ Francis turbine runner<br />
approximately 6 m each, these will be<br />
amongst the largest units of their kind<br />
installed in Turkey.<br />
The plant, with its 600 MW installed<br />
capacity, will be a cornerstone of the<br />
power supply in this growth market region.<br />
Thus, another 1,250 GWh/a of renewable<br />
energy from clean hydropower<br />
will be supplied to the Turkish grid<br />
from mid-2015.<br />
