The permanent magnet synchronous generator is individually adapted to the respective plant and optimally adjusted to factors such as turbine type and water volume. Thanks to the direct grid connection, no expensive power electronics or mechanical gearboxes are required, which significantly reduces maintenance costs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge lies in the precise design, as each plant requires a tailor-made solution and the first draft must be a perfect fit. This efficient and economical technology enables the modernization of small hydropower plants and actively contributes to sustainable energy generation. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
