Our modernized kaplan turbine is a a modular, low-head hydroelectric turbine design for projects 75kW to 250kW depending on site needs that can also be combined & scaled to fit much larger site requirements (one sized turbine that can be used with multiple sized generators). The NuTURBINE is ideal for many applications, including: isolated communities, retrofits of existing hydro sites, irrigation districts, municipalities & wastewater in pipe applications, and non-powered dams. The NuTURBINE based is on technological evolutions that significantly improve the performance of a long-accepted hydropower turbine paradigm. Those changes eliminate the need for a dam, offer a decentralized generation capability and the ability to harvest energy from existing hydropower intensive systems, and reduce environmental effects, all with a low setup and procurement cost. With a reduction in civil works efforts & costs, the NuTURBINE offers a low cost waterpower solution.

We knew that there were steps to take to modernize hydroelectric systems beyond combination, or CAM, curves. We wanted to find a more efficient generation system that would increase return on investment at hydropower sites and make small hydro development economically feasible. The NuTECH controller is this next step forward in automated control systems it uses new-to-industry control algorithms to improve the performance and efficiency of existing Kaplan turbines. The Controller’s intelligence ensures optimal hydropower system output by maximizing efficiency, regardless of hydraulic or machine conditions. Any variable, whether it is changes in water level, impurities, wear on the turbine, blockages, or even flow variability, will be optimized to make sure the system is always running at peak efficiency.
