Vortex Turbines by Turbulent
Turbulent are thinking differently about micro hydro power
Elegant low impact, high efficiency vortex generators
high plant factors (frequently exceeding 90%) & low maintenance requirements.
- low complexity, dam-less, decentralised power solution
- low RPM vortex facilitating safe fish passage & flood-proof design
- retrofits to existing infrastructure, or river site from 1m drop.
- stable predictable power generation day & night without the need for a battery bank, sun or wind.
- applicable for water infrastructure networks & hydroelectrical plants through to rural communities, Pāpakainga & Marae
Resilient, cost-efficient hydroelectric turbines designed for waterways that were never viable before for hydropower.
Developed by Turbulent Belgium, Armatec has collaborated locally with Entec Services and Ngāti Tāwhirikura Hāpu o Te Atiawa to make these innovative gravitional turbines available in Aotearoa New Zealand.
