Rennasonic Inc.

Rennasonic is a consulting firm specializing in turbine testing for hydro-electric dams.  Our services include turbine and pump turbine performance testing, optimization and other consulting services.  Recently, we have teamed with Alden and Cameron to test the Hydraulic Performance of the third set of locks on the Panama Canal Expansion project.  For this prestigious project, Rennasonic developed a data acquisition system and acts as the role of systems integrator for subsystems that are required to test the can.

We put our customers first. We listen to you and help you find what you need. Come visit to see what we are all about:

Turbine Intake Discharge Measurement

RennaSonic announces a new technique for measuring discharge in short convergent intakes.  Short convergent intakes are often found in low head hydro-electric dams and usually have more than one intake bay for each unit.  This video illustrates the deployment of a transducer array in an intake that is submerged.   Now you can measure flow in difficult hydraulic applications without the need of unwatering the intake.

Optimization and performance test services

Rennasonic specializes in Field testing services of new or older turbines in hydro-electric power plants.  Accurate knowledge the performance characteristics of turbines is vital to operation and turbine upgrades.  Without accurate knowledge of existing turbine performance, project managers cannot economically justify rehabilitation or replacement programs.

Experience

Mr. Walsh has designed, installed and commissioned many systems worldwide.  The first use of a flow meter and automated data acquisition system was designed by Mr. Walsh and used in the 1980’s at LG-2 in Canada.  Since that time, he has designed and commissioned several turbine measurement systems, using both IEC and ASME methods of calculation.  The projects Mr. Walsh has performed testing services on are listed below. Mr. Walsh is also the Chairman of ASME PTC-18 and the USA TAG for IEC TC-4.
