Possibility of obtaining electricity through simple turbines installed in rivers This is something that is being exploited by more and more companies. And by purchasing a simple piece of equipment that you can usually install yourself, you can forget about electricity bills forever. It’s all about systems Ideal for homes located in remote locations and that they have a stream channel with them enough to run the turbine.
One of these companies is Canada-based Idenergie, which has been specializing in renewable energy for several years. The hydroturbine it sells has the capacity to feed a house every day of the year.
is a team. A turbine made of metal with corresponding blades or blades. The operation is very simple: it is enough to place the device on the riverbed. The water will move the turbine blades and thus start producing electricity.
system designed to operate in low speed, shallow waterhence the potential user range is quite high.
As Idenergie states on its website, the hydroturbine consists of two Darrieus-type turbines, a model characterized by ease of installation and fabrication. They can operate at a water depth of only 60 cm and at a minimum speed of 1 m/s. Another great quality is the type of blade that makes it up. These are inexpensive to manufacture, easy to replace, and shipped in case of breakage.
The generator kicks in when the river water starts turning the turbine.. The energy resulting from this is converted into electricity thanks to a converter built into the equipment.
This energy is transmitted to the batteries via a cable and these batteries are charged for 24 hours. The inverter converts direct current to alternating current (120 V AC) to power different household appliances.
The turbine can produce 12 Kwh per day, so it can power a small house.. Even in low generating capacity situations, the device can generate enough power to run basic household appliances.
According to the company, a single turbine operating at maximum capacity, It can produce as much power as 12 conventional photovoltaic solar panels. In addition, the generator offered to the market predicts annual savings of 50% compared to the maintenance of the gasoline generator.
It features automatic start, emergency braking and remote monitoring as well as variable speed drive to set the optimum conversion of electricity and continuous optimization of power.
The hydroturbine is very easy to install as it only takes half a day.It does not need expert personnel and can be disassembled for easy transport. Idenergie adds that two people are enough to complete its setup. It is shipped all over the world and it is sufficient to have allen type keys for its assembly.
Also, if multiple devices are installed instead of one, the overall performance increases significantly to the point of being able to feed a small community.
The company also points out that the materials it is made of, especially aluminum, make the turbine an equipment that respects the environment.
