Some highlights that we are particularly proud of are also recognized world records:

Cleuson Dixence, Switzerland

The three vertical-shaft, five-jet Pelton turbines in Cleuson Dixence (see insert photo) are operated under the most extreme conditions. The head – 1.869 m – as well as the machine output – 423 MW – represent two world records.

Goldisthal, Germany

The two asynchronous, variable-speed motor generators in Goldisthal are the only ones of their kind installed outside Japan. They are a real milestone in the pumped storage technology in Europe.

Sihwa, South Korea

The tidal power station on Sihwa Lake in South Korea (see photo below) opens a new chapter in thedevelopment of renewable energy production. The ten machines have an overall output of 260 MW and when completed, will form the world’s largest tidal power station.

Tarbela Dam, Pakistan

The bifurcation at Tarbela Dam (see large photo on the right) is unique. This pipe has an inner diameter of 13.2 m and a height of over 16 m in the centre – the same as a four-storey building. This pipe has even made it to the Guinness Book of Records.
