Alab is a program for hydraulic design of power plants with dams, brook intakes, surge chambers, air cushions and tunnels including power station with turbines, generators, transformers and governors.

Hydro-mechanical items as gates, trash racks and valves are available for installation in the waterway. The turbine-designing module offers Francis, Mini Francis, Kaplan, Bulb, Pelton, Twin Pelton and Reversible Pump-turbines for installation in the power station. Alab simulates operation of the power plant, steady state or dynamic, generating or pumping

Stability is considered

A windows-program for equipment suppliers,consultants, students and hydropower companies

Combines civil engineering, hydro-mechanical engineering and electro-mechanical engineering

Increases general hydropower competence and improves knowledge about own installations, systems and products.

Power production in GWh, and in actual currency is calculated.

Easy accessible methods are available for defining all civil work-, electromechanical-,hydromechanical- and hydraulic- items normally present in a hydropower plant.
