REFERENCE PROJECTS
VAPTECH is a project oriented global provider of systems and services for hydropower, sheet metal forming and biomass processing industries.
Yahinovo HPP, Bulgaria • 1 x Francis horizontal P=1x6900 kW, H=163 m
Small Hydro has various definitions around the world. By VAPTECH standards a small hydropower plant is a plant with one or several turbine-generator units where the unit capacity is not more than 10 MW.
Turnkey A Turnkey solution is a symbol of complexity and completeness of the hardware and services within the scope of supply.
Burimi HPP, Kosovo • 2 x Francis horizontal P=2x422 kW, H=29.5 m
The turnkey or water-to-wire (W2W) or single-sourcesupply solution for a small hydropower plant includes the complete electromechanical power generating package of equipment along with related services that start with guiding consultations in the project start stage and complete with a total project management throughout the lifetime of the power plant.
Scope As a rule, the VAPHYDRO Scope of supply is adapted to the customer desire. Although we would gladly offer the in-house designed and in-house manufactured stateof-the-art turbines, inlet valves and automation systems we strongly recommend the single-source-supply approach where VAPTECH will supply the complete electromechanical package:
Porumbacu HPP, Romania • 2 x Pelton horizontal P=2x1340 kW, H=299 m
• Turbine with main inlet valve • Hydraulic and digital turbine governor • Generator with AVR • Main transformer • LV- and MV-switchgear • Auxiliary transformer • SCADA Banite HPP, Bulgaria • 1 x Francis horizontal P=3720 kW, H=135.6 m

This results in a solution that is economically optimized for the maximum and long-term yield for the customer.
Design Based on our knowledge and experience and partnerships with leading design houses we are able to offer optimized turbines for each small hydropower project. These turbine designs are a result of a fully parameterized model that goes through digital development.
REFERENCE PROJECTS
The Boutique approach or also custom- or tailor-made ensures that the core components and thus the complete hydropower system are designed to match exactly the ambient natural and project specifics.
Corsaglia HPP, Italy • 2 x Francis horizontal P1=1065 kW, H=33 m, P2=500 kW, H=36.25 m
We design in-house the turbine, main inlet valve and we create the turbine governor software.
Manufacturing The turbine or the heart of the hydropower plant is manufactured in our own mechanical workshop. The production facility is the home of more than 300 employees with a centurial experience in manufacturing technology, planning and execution for small- and largehydro turbines and valves.
Dzherman HPP, Bulgaria • 1 x Pelton horizontal P=3060 kW, H=258.5 m
VAPTECH workshop is able to deliver all the processes from plate development to surface treatment and factory assembly and testing. The in-house manufacturing is a guarantee for perfect control on the most important and critical path components that finally result in an optimized and shortest delivery time for the complete scope of supply of the project.
Project management
Balea HPP, Romania • 1 x Pelton horizontal P=2060 kW, H=385 m
The successful realization of the complete hydropower project requires a permanent coordination and timing between the contractor and its customer on one hand and between the contractor and its suppliers on the other hand. These interactions are facilitated by VAPTECH project managers who make sure that the project runs smoothly and keep the customer informed through regular reporting of the progress.
