Micro-hydroelectric and electromechanical training bench — GT-HYD-01

GT-HYD-01 is the hydroelectric block of the nine-module GENIE TECHNICS renewable-energy programme. A closed recirculating platform: resource, penstock, turbine, generator, regulation, protection, coupling and maintenance. Learners plot hydraulic, mechanical, electrical and overall efficiencies — not merely a spinning turbine. Audience: electromechanics, automation technicians, plant and maintenance staff. Training: 10 days — 70 hours. It completes the GT-RE-01 to GT-RE-04 solar foundation. GT-WIND-01 (wind, conversion, hybrids) is the commercial complement attached to this module.
