EIMV HAS PRODUCED THE EXCITATION SYSTEMS FOR THE BELICA MHE

For the needs of restoring and upgrading the Belica small hydropower plant, owned by Elektro Ljubljana OVE, EIMV has produced 2 analogue excitation systems, which are custom made with the considerations of the specifications of mechanical and electrical equipment. The characteristics are harmonised with SONDO requirements. The construction of the systems is robust and enables complete autonomy (island operations) of the power plant in case of electric network failure and long-term network failures. The specialty of both excitation systems is advanced IGBT technology in exit rates and contact controlled digital reference.

With this project, the EIMV has filled the gap in the market of small excitation systems, where it is difficult to get a reliable excitation system with up to 100 A output power, full engineering support and maintenance at moderate price.

At the end of 2014, we also plan to develop a digital excitation system that will be founded on FPGA technology.
