A 100% domestically produced hydroelectric power plant (HPP) turbine has been manufactured in Türkiye. The turbine will be installed in the Kepez-1 hydroelectric power plant (HPP) in Antalya.
As part of the Domestic Design and Production of Hydroelectric Power Plant Components (MİLHES) Project, for the first time, the turbine of the Kepez-1 Hydroelectric Power Plant, located on the Düden River in Antalya, was produced in Türkiye and has reached the assembly stage.
The design is from TÜBİTAK, the generator is from TEMSAN.
In the TÜBİTAK-supported MİLHES project, a model of the turbine to be installed in Kepez-1 was produced at the TOBB ETÜ Water Turbine Design and Test Center (ETÜ Hidro), and the necessary tests were carried out to enable the manufacturing of the main turbine. Following the tests, all technical drawings and solid models of the turbine, ready for manufacturing, were given to the turbine manufacturer. Thus, a national product was created through university-industry collaboration with public support. The turbine was manufactured at Gimas in İzmir. In the MİLHES project, the generator design was done by TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center, and the generator was manufactured by TEMSAN.
