Sometimes, in more mountainous regions, the project can dispense with the canal and simply send water down the penstock directly from the intake. |
This year saw the end of the Hauterive power house rehabilitation and of the Fully penstock refection. |
At this point, the water is allowed to fall through a pipe or penstock down to the powerhouse where it spins turbines to create electricity. |
The Kokish Project would have one main intake to divert the flow of water into the penstock, which would be divided into two segments. |
The choice of size and type of penstock depends on several factors that are explained briefly in this section. |
We are now putting down pedestals where the penstock pipes will be laid leading to the power house. |
