S4th grade students received an exciting tour of the modernized facility in Kröllendorf.

The two fourth grades from the Sonntagberg middle school visited the Dorfmühle small hydroelectric power station near Kröllendorf on January 26th. The modernized plant has been producing more than 10,000,000 kWh per year since 2004 using two Kaplan tubular turbines.

The tour of the facility was a little colder, as the ambient temperature on the lower floor of the facility was approximately the same as the temperature of the water. The tour began with an interesting theoretical input. The event was rounded off with a tour of the turbine and generator housing, the control room as well as a visit to the dam and the fully automatic screen cleaning machine.
