    CleanPower Statkraft Installation

    Uploaded by

    pcguru.oregon5759
    CleanPower develops an axial turbine called the Turbinator that can generate electricity from low-head hydro sites using existing infrastructure like dams and irrigation channels. A prototype was installed at the Hegset dam in Norway and generated up to 280 kW from water being released for environmental purposes. Statkraft and CleanPower are collaborating on this project to exploit the reserved water flow between May and September. The Turbinator has few parts, is robust, easy to install, and reduces civil works compared to traditional hydropower turbines. CleanPower aims to deliver three 1 MW Turbinators to an irrigation project in Oregon, which could be their international commercial breakthrough.

    European Union Water Framework Directive of 2000

    Conflict of interest:

    Implemented by 2015
    Increased environmental releases, also from existing dams "Opposes" the Renewable Energy Directive, under which Europe shall increase renewables by 20% within 2020 Increased environmental flows implies lost energy
    Estimated loss 3% of the European hydropower 16,5 TWh / year lost

    Inadequate flow = dead rivers

    High flow = lost energy

    Market opportunity!
