Sromowce V SHP

Efficient utilisation of the hydropower potential of a water reservoir complex

SHP Sromowce V is part of the Hydropowerplant Complex Niedzica. The first one: Niedzica Pumped Storage Plant was planned at the beginning of the 20th century, and it was put into operation in 1997. So far, the complex has included four power plants, now there are five of them.

Parameters

Diameter 900 mm
Head of 9 m
Power 325 kW

Technologies used

  • S-Type Kaplan turbine

The Project is based on the idea of utilising the existing untapped hydropower potential that lies within a lateral underground supply inlet. The powerplant is characterised by a high efficiency under the optimal running conditions that is no less than 91% for the turbine and 95% for the generator – and this in turn shall result in the powerplant’s high yield in terms of the generated energy. Additionally SHP has the ability to provide a quick starting energy source for the part of Polish grid in the event of a blackout and subsequent black start. Its ability to quickly self-start shall be used to repower the local grid in case of the outage.
