electricity
- To determine the yield
- To operate an industrial multi-technology
system

 

Presentation

The HYDROLIS bench replicates a hydroelectric power plant. It is designed to demonstrate and control the generation of electricity using hydropower. The water head can be varied from 10 to 25 m using a pump driven by a variable speed drive. A Twido or M340 PLC is used to manage the control system. The equipment is made by BEMA and marketed by Schneider Electric.
