HYDROMATRIX An innovative way to hydropower generation
Conventional
6+ m
HYDROMATRIX
1.3+ m
An array (Matrix) of small turbines instead of conventional sized turbines Best suited for low head sites with existing dam and weir structures Most economical in larger numbers -> not a typical small hydro application
ANDRITZ HYDRO 2012
[Link]
HYDROMATRIX Application criteria
Available plant discharge from ~ 60 m/s Available head from 2 m up to 25 m Minimum submergence 1.5 m below tailwater Unit output from 100 kW up to ~ 1500 kW Grid connection in close vicinity Structure available & suitable for HYDROMATRIX

HYDROMATRIX Advantages
Use of existing weir structures No major civil construction > less cost Little excavation & no coffer dams > less geological risk No additional land usage -> environmentally friendly Existing river flow pattern can be maintained HYDROMATRIX Modules removeable at flood conditions Standardized modular concept
Compressed project schedule
High availability & easy maintenance

HYDROMATRIX Design Features
Unregulated propeller turbine (CuAlNiFe or CrNi 13.4) Directly driven synchronous (Permanent Magnet Technology) or asynchronous generator Welded hydraulic steel structure
Mechanical face seal
Roller type bearings, oil sump lubrication Light weight (9 13 t) -> truckable
Minimum maintenance -> annual oil change
Flexible concept - Modular switchgear

HYDROMATRIX Influences on Dam Structure
Loads on dam Horizontal dam loads
Statical loads less than without HYDROMATRIX
Dynamical loads identical Vertical dam loads Additional weight through modules
Additional weight through new crane and trash rack cleaning machine
Civil works Anchors for guiding rails, supports and platforms Protection pipes, cable trays

HYDROMATRIX Differences HYDROMATRIX vs StrafloMatrixTM
HYDROMATRIX
Simple Bulb Design
Synchronous or Asynchronous Operation Perm. Magnets or Conventional Rotor Winding Longer, Heavier than StrafloMatrix
StrafloMatrix
Generator outside of flow (straight flow)
Synchronous Operation Permanent Magnet Technology Shorter, Less Weight No PF Compensation required
PF Compensation (for asynchronous version only)

HYDROMATRIX Operation Aspects
Maintenance intervals
TG-Units: Annual Oil Inspection / Change
BOP Equipment:
According to maintenance schedule UW - Cables: Change every 10-12 years
Accessibility
Easy access to all maintenance-relevant components without disturbance of overall plant operation
Expected life time
Identical to conventional hydropower concepts
