Turbulent hydropower
Turbulent develops cost-effective and environmentally friendly hydropower plants suitable for installation in rivers, canals, and waterways with a drop of 1.5 to 5 meters. The turbines generate between 15 and 90 kW of electricity and can operate individually or as part of a network to meet higher energy demands. Designed for durability and low maintenance, they incorporate debris management systems and have been independently validated as fish-friendly by TU Delft under the NEN standard. Additionally, the turbines are equipped with remote monitoring and control capabilities, ensuring efficient and reliable operation.
