By: Pressline SIPOS’ universally applicable actuator concept enables parallel operation (synchronisation) An installation at the converted power station Unkelmühle has been adopted as a pilot project for an eel bypass solution. Designed to address the fact that eels rarely use fish ladders for their descent, a flap (bottom gallery) was installed over the entire base span of the inlet. The flap is periodically operated by two synchronised SIPOS 5 part-turn actuators located both sides of the inlet and connected by cables to the flap. The eels now have the opportunity to bypass the inlet area via the cross flow through the flap and a pipe system. SIPOS reports that another power station (EOn Gerlachshausen / Lower Franconia) has been equipped with its eel bypass solution.
