The DIVE-Turbine is an innovative turbine concept for small hydropower plants. The concept fulfills all requirements for a modern hydropower plant with low head and an installed capacity of up to 4 MW per unit.

The DIVE-Turbine is an efficient, reliable and cost-effective turbine solution. Based on the permanent magnet synchronous generator from OSWALD Elektromotoren GmbH an all-round conclusive concept was developed.

A customized turbine design, in combination with the latest generation of power electronics guarantees high efficiency of the complete Turbine-Generator-Inverter-Unit, from water to wire.

According to the singular requirements of each power plant, the DIVE Turbinen GmbH & Co. KG provides individual solutions, including the design, manufacturing, delivery, installation, start up, after sales service.

FELLA Maschinenbau GmbH has grown over the years from its roots as a family business in the Bavarian Odenwald in Amorbach, Germany. From simple repair operations in 1949, FELLA has developed into a modern manufacturing plant in mechanical engineering and a major industry supplier. About 50 high qualified and motivated colleagues form the backbone of the business.

The excellent production quality is attributable to decades of accumulated know-how, continuous enhancements and targeted investments and creates opportunities for new markets and innovations.

The motivated and qualified workforce in partnership with modern machinery allows FELLA to tailor to special customer requirements from design to finished product.

FELLA commitment and passion for renewable energy in cooperation with regional partners created the development new products such as the DIVE-Turbine or FELLAMOVER. The small-scale hydropower turbine (DIVE-Turbine), was awarded the Bavarian Environment Prize in 2009 and underlines the commitment to quality and innovation.

Due to the great success of the DIVE-Turbine on the market and the even greater outlook of the market potential, FELLA have decided to create a new company which will focus solely on the DIVE-Turbine, the DIVE Turbinen GmbH & Co. KG.
