| The 200 MW Kidatu hydropower station was built in two stages, with two units being commissioned in 1974 and two more in 1978.
Over the years, the control system underwent various rehabilitation programs, resulting in a conglomeration of systems that made service and maintenance of the plant extremely difficult.
In 1998 Voith Siemens Hydro completed a total replacement of the existing outdated automation, communication and protection systems.
Already in 1977 Voith Siemens Hydro supplied 2 Francis turbines, governors and auxiliary equipment, as well as spare parts and in 2002 and replaced the governor in 2003. |
