Preface

Hitachi is the leading manufacturer of hydroelectric equipment in

Japan and ranks among the top corporations worldwide. Moreover,
Hitachi is a fully integrated company with all the R&D, design, and
manufacturing resources needed to undertake any project in any
part of the world.
Hitachi first entered the hydroelectric equipment field in 1911
with the production of a 300 HP output Pelton turbine and a 250 kVA
generator. This was followed by long years of both theoretical and
practical experience in the research, design, manufacturing,
installation and operation of hydroelectric equipment, enabling
Hitachi to produce the highest quality equipment. Since 1911 we have
built and installed over 1,400 turbines (64,000 MW) and over 1,300
generators (46,000 MVA). This means our engineers have extensive
design experience in every type of turbine (e.g., Pelton, Francis,
Diagonal Flow, Kaplan, and Tubular) and generator used in
conventional and pumped-storage plants. It also means our know-
how covers all other aspects of hydroelectric plants, including
governors, inlet valves, excitation systems, and other types of
ancillary and control equipment. Our accumulated experience as a
manufacturer is an invaluable asset. Hitachi can design any system
or piece of equipment using the latest model test, quality control,
and system engineering techniques.
This brochure has been prepared to provide a brief
introduction to Hitachis hydroelectric power generating equipment.
