Possibility of obtaining electricity through simple turbines installed in rivers something that is being exploited by more and more companies. And by purchasing a simple piece of equipment that can often be installed on its own, it is possible to forget about electricity bills forever. related to systems ideal for homes located in remote locations and having a stream channel with them of sufficient presence for the turbine to operate.
One of these companies is Idénergie, based in Canada and 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 blades of the turbine and thus start to produce electrical energy.
system designed to operate in shallow, low velocity watertherefore the range of potential users 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. Their other great quality is the type of blades that make them up. These are inexpensive to manufacture, easy to replace, and ship in case of breakage.
The generator kicks in when the river water starts turning the turbine.. The resulting energy 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, which is enough to power a small house.. The device can generate enough power to run basic household appliances, even when the generating capacity is low.
According to the company, a single turbine operating at maximum capacity, It can produce as much energy as 12 conventional photovoltaic solar panels. In addition, the generator offered to the market provides 50% annual savings compared to the maintenance of a gasoline generator.
It has a variable speed drive as well as automatic start, emergency brake and remote control to set the optimum conversion of electricity and continuous power optimization.
The hydroturbine is very easy to install because it only takes half a dayIt can be disassembled for easy transport and without the need for expert personnel. Idénergie adds that two people are enough to complete its setup and setup. It is sent anywhere in the world and it is sufficient to have Allen type wrenches for its assembly.
Additionally, if several devices are installed instead of one, the performance of the whole increases significantly to the point where it can supply a small community.
The company also points out that the materials from which it is made, especially aluminum, make the turbine a completely environmentally friendly equipment.
