Bilfinger VAM Anlagentechnik has been commissioned to supply a distribution pipeline in the 30 MW pumped-storage hydropower plant and wind project located in Gaildorf, Germany.
The facility consists of 4 units of GE’s 3.4-137 wind turbine technology and a 16 MW capacity pumped storage hydro-electric power plant. The base and surrounding area of each wind turbine tower will be used as a water reservoir, effectively increasing tower height by 40 meters. The tower bases of the wind turbines act as the upper reservoirs for the pumped-storage plant. An underground pressure pipeline made from polyethylene connects the reservoir with three 5.3-MW pump-turbines.
The installation of the pipelines is expected to be completed within 2019.
