100 KW - HYDRO POWER

Easy, reliable, renewable Hydropower, a sector that exists for more than a century. All kinds of techniques were tried to lower the usable head to under 3m, without success… Until now! Turbulent applies more than the classic hydraulic formulas, but instead is learning from nature to design the best low-head turbines, and this at a price than can easily compete with other renewables, and even diesel. These decentralized micro hydropower plants use a height difference below 3m, range from 15kW to 100kW and are built using standard components in a modular way. Combined with a biomimetic impeller design and a self-learning control software the plant is designed to keep efficiency high and maintenance low. Turbulent believes energy production can work together with nature to satisfy growing global energy demands. The technology is inspired by the natural principle of a vortex and will be able to deliver stable and affordable renewable energy without damaging the local ecosystem. A huge global potential is available which Turbulent will reach through its different segments and international distribution cooperation. At the moment, Turbulent has finished its first commercial turbine delivering 15kW to a Chilean farm using his local irrigation canal.
