Certifications and Standards
Systems comply with certifications like CEI 61439-1, CEI 61439-2, and directives 2006/42/CE, 2014/35/UE, and 2014/30/UE. Aqueduct installations meet DM 174/2004 (Italy) and ACS (France) standards.
Optional Features
Optional features include remote management, anti-condensation heaters, vibration sensors, and various temperature sensors for enhanced monitoring and control.
Overview
The document provides detailed information on IREM's ECOWATT HYDRO series, focusing on Pelton and Banki turbines, control boards, and the Power Pilot system for hydroelectric plants.
Pelton Turbines
The ECOWATT HYDRO TPA-TPS series are vertical axis Pelton turbines designed for high efficiency and durability, suitable for heads ranging from 20 to 550 meters and flows from 0.5 to 500 liters per second.
Banki Turbines
The ECOWATT HYDRO TBA-TBS series are crossflow turbines for low to medium head applications, with electric power output from 1 to 250 kW, ideal for remote areas.
Control Boards
IREM offers QPR control boards for grid-connected plants and QDM-QDT boards for stand-alone systems, supporting remote control and equipped with sensors for comprehensive monitoring.
Pico Hydro Systems
The ECOWATT HYDRO TPD series is designed for very low power applications, generating up to 500 W, suitable for small, remote installations.
Power Pilot System
The Power Pilot stabilizes voltage and frequency, manages overloads, and ensures continuous power supply during transient anomalies, featuring a double conversion process and battery backup.
Conclusion
IREM's ECOWATT HYDRO solutions offer versatile and efficient options for hydroelectric power generation, particularly in remote or off-grid locations, designed for durability and reliable operation.
