Welcome the Visionary Power of Innovation.

A complete new turbine concept for Stegenwald/Austria with a clear focus on economic viability - developed and implemented in just 2.5 years. The revolutionary combination of a vertical Kaplan spiral turbine and a horizontally installed pit turbine with gear drive is unique because of is its top-down water inflow, replacing the traditional front-facing design.

Every revitalization brings its own challenges – from tight tolerances to complex existing structures. In this project, Global Hydro combined advanced engineering, high-precision manufacturing and on-site line boring to deliver a seamless integration of new and existing components.

Vibration data holds powerful insights. With Global Hydro’s machine learning-based monitoring system, operators gain continuous access to condition data across the entire plant. Our experts transform raw data into clear, actionable recommendations - enabling predictive maintenance, no surprises, and maximum uptime.

Instead of building new – Global Hydro turned an old water tunnel into a state-of-the-art cavern hydropower plant. With custom-made engineering and the latest technology, the Rasoira project sets a new standard for sustainable small hydropower.

Cavitation, erosion, and sediment wear are persistent challenges in hydropower. With targeted Shielding Technologies, Global Hydro reinforces vulnerable components and ensures reliable performance - even under the harshest conditions.

Hydrox SediSense by Global Hydro detects harmful sediment loads before they cause damage – right at the turbine, AI-powered and highly precise. Learn how this breakthrough technology works, where it becomes a gamechanger, and how plant operators benefit.

Discover how Global Hydro empowers Nepal’s hydropower sector with turn-key solutions, regional efficiency, and strong local presence - on time and with proven reliability, even in challenging environments like the Himalayas.

Global Hydro showcases the full revitalization of decades old Pelton turbines in Switzerland, restoring performance and reliability through tailored upgrades and expert engineering.

Discover how Global Hydro is redefining runner manufacturing with advanced welding automation, Cold Metal Transfer, and smart design – for longer runner life, higher efficiency, and reduced downtime in hydropower plants.

Hydropower is environmentally sustainable. But the world needs more. We also keep an eye on social sustainability and good governance.

More than a digital assistant – it is a central link between people, machines, and documentation. The Global Hydro Chatbot enables direct access to technical knowledge and complex control logic – without manually searching through documents or needing help from a software developer.

A cost-effective way to optimize aging Pelton runners - Bucket repair for smarter revitalization.

Compact. Modular. Off-grid ready. Discover how Global Hydro’s Francis Container Solution brings small hydropower to even the most remote regions.

HydroxOptimize offers real-time, data-driven condition monitoring for hydropower plants, enabling early detection of wear and preventing costly downtime.

Race against time! Global Hydro completed the refit of the existing Dunakiliti power plant dam structure on a tributary of the Danube in Hungary in a record-breaking eight months.

Unplanned downtime in hydropower plants can lead to high costs and operational inefficiencies. Detecting potential issues early is crucial to ensuring smooth operations and preventing unexpected failures.

Maximizing energy efficiency is one of the biggest challenges for hydropower plant operators. Running turbines in inefficient part-load operation can lead to energy losses and increased operational costs. 

Gilbert and Richard Frizberg, managing directors and shareholders of F-Energies in the fourth and fifth generation, answered questions from Kleine Zeitung. They spoke about pressure for change, excessive bureaucracy, and the courage required as successors in a family business.
