Fixed

The versatility of the vertical axis, cross-flow turbine allows it to be secured to solid support structures such as bridge piers, canal banks, etc. Even when fixed in place, the turbine is still able to easily rotate in and out of the water.

Floating

With the turbine simply suspended between pontoons, the floating mount allows for power generation to happen away from any man-made support structures and in very remote locations. It is also transportable by trailer and can be equipped with self-propelled capabilities.

EVG-005 Turbine

Small enough to fit on a conventional pontoon trailer. Strong enough to power a small remote village.

5 kW output at designed water velocity of 3 m/s.

Low Flow system outputs 5 kW at 2.4 m/s.

Power Conditioning Equipment

The output from a hydrokinetic energy system is termed wild AC since it can vary in both voltage and frequency.  Thus all power conditioning systems are first rectified and ultimately inverted to the voltage and frequency required at the site.  For grid connected systems, a grid tie inverter can be used, combined with protection circuitry required by local codes.

Stand alone systems generally initially charge a battery bank so that the output once inverted can then follow demand.

Grid Tie Option:

  • Support for single or 3-phase grid-tie installations

  • Suitable for industrial applications, small communities, existing microgrids, etc.

Stand Alone Option:

  • With scalable battery storage options, energy in stand alone applications can be outputted at a constant level or used directly

  • Suitable for households, remote communities, or other off-grid applications

Hybrid Renewable Systems

The predictable 24 hour nature of hydrokinetic energy means that it can be used as a base load energy source in remote applications.  However, combined with solar and/or wind, the energy available more closely tracks typical daily load profiles making the combination of solar and hydrokinetic power sources ideal for remote residential/community applications.

Having two independent energy sources feeding a central battery storage bank also de-risks energy production from renewable sources.
