hydroanlegg
Hydroanlegg is a term used to describe facilities that convert the energy of flowing or stored water into usable energy, most commonly electricity. They typically comprise structures such as dams or barrage systems, water reservoirs or intakes, penstocks or conduits, turbines, generators, transformers, and the control equipment that coordinates operation and connection to the electric grid. While the phrase is often associated with hydroelectric power plants, hydroanlegg can also include other water-driven infrastructure within energy, industrial, or municipal systems.
