HYDRO SCHEME DEVELOPMENT

 

Glendevon Energy’s key success in developing these Hydro Projects has been to identify sites with multiple landowners and then work with all parties to create the hydro opportunity, with funding options and solutions that work for the all.  Glendevon Energy take the projects through feasibility and consents, put together a team for the design and construction and then take on the operation and maintenance to maximise production and promote longevity of the schemes.

Glendevon Energy founded, developed and now maintain the 500kW Rumbling Bridge Community Hydro Scheme in Kinross-shire which was commissioned in September 2016.  Following the success of this Scheme Hugh Wallace (Managing Director) identified a 2MW Hydro opportunity in Wester Ross and developed the Loch a Bhraoin scheme which was commissioned in September 2020.

Rumbling Bridge Community Hydro Scheme
This is a 500kW run of river scheme with a net head of 36m  on the River Devon. It collects water from a relatively large catchment and generates power by diverting it from  Rumbling Bridge gorge to an underground powerhouse with two 300kW Francis Turbines.  The pipe route is1350m long with a 45m vertical drop and makes use of an old railway cutting.   Click here to view the Case Study and photographs.   

Loch a Bhraoin  Hydro Project
This 2MW scheme is in Wester Ross and was successfully commissioned in September 2020.   The scheme offers an exciting opportunity, utilizing  storage at Loch a Bhraoin.  This is all the more important as the remote location of the site presents challenges re interfacing with the grid.  The location, is however, environmentally sensitive so an innovative tilting weir was installed to ensure  historic storm water levels in the loch will not be exceeded.
