Vortex Turbines by Turbulent

Turbulent Micro Hydro Power

 
 

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.
