Hammer1 – Simplified Principle of Operation


the water is fed to the penstock from the upper reservoir
driven by a servo motor, the actuator closes the Hammer1 Gun Valve achieving the desired transient hydraulic effect
the shock wave is sent back up the penstock and returns
the Hammer1 Gun Valve opens and the shock wave rushes through, forming a high velocity projectile of water which exits the valve and impacts the runner of the pelton turbine
it is this increased rotational torque that creates additional power as compared to a free-flow fed pelton turbine
the opening and closing of the valve happens many times per second and is controlled by the HammerNET software and Hammer1 Gun actuator

HammerNET – Operating Environment


HammerNET is the Ethernet IP network and controller platform that provides real-time process control management for all system components.

Throughout and integral to the Hammer1 system are a series of controllers that HammerNET continuously polls to ensure the operation and continuity of the hydro generation systems. In conjunction with local operator consoles and Hammer1 instrumentation panels, HammerNET ensures the operational integrity and power generation process.

Adhering to the principles of the ICS410 ICS/SCADA security essentials, network hardened Secure Zones and dual factor authentication, enable remote support and maintenance of all system components, to and from the Internet connected HPT HammerNET Monitoring Centre.

The support and services of the HPT monitoring center are included as part of a comprehensive customer support and maintenance program for all HPT technology offerings.
