Turbulent - Hydropower Plants
We develop efficient hydropower plants for rivers and canals with a low height difference (between 1.5 - 3.5m), thanks to new technology based on the vortex principle. We generate electricity using an individual turbine or a network of multiple turbines, all designed for durability and low maintenance.
