Grodnenskaya, Belarus
Mavel provided five turbines and related technology for the Grodnenskaya Hydroelectric Power Project in Belarus. The site located on the Newman River with a head of 7 meters utilizes 5 double regulated horizontal, KP3000K4 Kaplan Pit turbines type Mavel KP3000K4. Mavel also supplied the generators, hydraulic units, gearboxes and control systems. The combined installed output is just under 19 MW. Commissioning was in October of 2012.
Holyoke Massachusetts, United States
Mavel commissioned its first turbine in the US at Unit 1 of Holyoke Gas & Electric's Boatlock Hydroelectric Station. Mavel replaced the existing Francis unit with a double regulated Mavel KVK1600K4 Kaplan turbine coupled with a 240 rpm synchronous generator. The power produced at Boatlock Unit 1 increased more than threefold from about 200kW prior to the rehabilitation to just over 700 kW after the October 2010 commissioning. In addition to the turbine, Mavel provided hydraulic engineering and related equipment, including an elbow draft tube, hydraulic power unit, electric and control systems and the installation supervision.
