Union Fenosa Generación of Spain needed to establish operational efficiency of their Kaplan turbines at 3 plants on the River Miño in north-western Spain – Velle, Frieira and Castrelo. Having reviewed all presently available flow measurement methods suitable for short intakes, Union Fenosa opted for the ASFM. As all 3 plants had identical 2-bay intakes, the portability of fully instrumented ASFM frames was of particular benefit: a comprehensive testing of one unit at each of the 3 plants was completed successfully in less than 2 weeks. Union Fenosa Generación is currrently replacing runners of its most important units, and the results from the ASFM measurements are being used in the technical specifications for these new runners. The ASFM has been specified as the flow measurement method for checking contractual guarantees.

Note:
While the first measurement by a particular owner is typically carried out by AQFlow technical personnel, the user-friendly features of the ASFM offer the owners the choice of having the subsequent measurements carried out by AQFlow personnel (indicated above in italics) or by their own personnel (indicated by non-italics).
As shown, Nova Scotia Power, Hydro Québec, Korea Water Resources, Electricité de France and Douglas County PUD have all opted for having their personnel trained by AQFlow technicians as part of the first project, purchasing the ASFM and performing all subsequent measurements in-house successfully and cost-effectively.
