Summary
Energy utilities, investors and project developers are actively looking for decentralized solutions that combine sustainability
with stable and risk-free energy production at low cost. Since wind and solar are highly intermittent, hydropower is to take an
important role in the energy mix. An alternative to large dam facilities is small hydropower technologies but they still present
the major challenge of size reduction in order to lower the usable head (water height) to under 3 meters.
All kinds of hydropower techniques have been tried to scale down for local and to lower the usable head to under 3 meters,
without success until now.
TURBULENT provides a reliable, cost efficient, micro hydropower plant uniquely designed to use a very low
head stream (50% .
• Smaller, lighter, easier installation and maintenance.
• Biomimic impeller design = Double energy production with same size
• =Cheaper cost-of-energy €0,026/kWh. (Solar is € 0.06kWh)
Current TRL is 7. 2 Real scale demonstrators and 1 commercial setting succesfully completed & in operation.
