Despite the blanket of snow that fell on site by the beginning of February, works on the Irish Dwr Uisce hydro demo site are progressing as planned. The scheme will be powered by a 4.3 kW Pump-As-Turbine fed by the incoming pressurized raw water entering the treatment works, and is expected to cut the energy consumption of the works by 20-25%. More details available here.
Below are a few suggestive pictures taken on 1/2/2019 showing the progress of the work.
The turbine and generator have been delivered at the site and are ready to be installed.
