Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de production d'énergie hydroélectrique comprenant : une turbine à eau (1); un dispositif de freinage électrique ou mécanique (12) pour amener une force de freinage à agir sur un arbre de rotation qui se verrouille avec la turbine à eau (1); et un dispositif de commande (100) pour répéter l'opération et la libération du dispositif de freinage (12) de façon à augmenter ou à diminuer la force de freinage. Le dispositif de commande (100) actionne le dispositif de freinage (12) pour un premier nombre de fois où une quantité de réduction de puissance générée d'un générateur (3) à partir de la puissance correspondant à la vitesse d'écoulement atteint une première valeur (par exemple, le dispositif de freinage est actionné trois fois lorsque la puissance générée est de 90% après une réduction de 10%), et actionne le dispositif de freinage (12) pour un second nombre de fois supérieur au premier nombre de fois lorsque la quantité de réduction de la puissance générée est une seconde valeur plus grande que la première valeur (par exemple, le dispositif de freinage est actionné quatre fois lorsque la puissance générée est de 70% après une réduction de 30%, et est actionné six fois lorsque la puissance générée diminue de 50%). Par conséquent, un dispositif de production d'énergie hydroélectrique compact avec une maintenance facile contre la poussière et les matières étrangères peut être fourni tout en réduisant le coût.
