Winergy Hydro Gear Units – High-Efficiency Gearboxes for Francis, Kaplan & Pelton Turbines | 5–100 MW, Custom-Engineered for Indian Hydropower Projects

Winergy Hydro Gear Units

Overview

Key Features

• Turbine Compatibility:
  • Francis: Medium-head (30–300m), medium-flow
  • Kaplan: Low-head (2–30m), high-flow
  • Pelton: High-head (150–1800m), low-flow
• Gear Design:
  • Parallel shaft or right-angle configurations
  • Single or multi-stage helical/planetary gearing
• High Efficiency: >98% mechanical efficiency with optimized oil circulation
• Robust Construction:
  • Forged steel gears, case-hardened surfaces
  • Double helical gears for axial load balancing
• Integrated Monitoring: Vibration sensors, oil temperature/debris detection, SCADA-ready
• Cooling & Lubrication: Forced lubrication with oil-water or oil-air coolers

Technical Highlights

• Power Range: 5 MW – 100+ MW
• Input Speed: 60–1000 rpm (turbine-dependent)
• Output Speed: Synchronized to generator (typically 750–1500 rpm)
• Service Life: 40+ years with proper maintenance
• Certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IEC 60034, DNV-GL (for critical projects)

Ideal Applications

• Run-of-river projects (Himalayan states: Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand)
• Reservoir-based plants (Central & South India)
• High-head Pelton installations (Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh)
• Modernization of legacy hydro stations (NHPC, SJVN, state GENCOs)
