An AUMA electric actuation solution ensures high-precision guide vane adjustment for a fully-submersible hydro turbine from Natel Energy at the Sauerbrunn hydropower plant.

Senior Hydropower Technical Associate Tatiana Marzan and researchers at ORNL found, through detailed analysis of costs associated with fish exclusion, that FishSafe™ RHTs were more cost-effective.
