MST Project

The objective of the project is to develop a multi-stage water turbine which can utilize different heights of water head on a common trubine wheel. The multi-stage technology will minimize the number of start/stop sequence on the turbine even if only one reservoir is sypplying water to the turbine, resulting in a high degree of utilization.

The MST project commenced in January 2005 and is in co-operation with NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology). The Project is supported by the Renergi program of the Norwegian Research Council.
