Low Head Hydropower. Mostly used in Mini and Micro Hydropower production; Ideal for low head conditions as low as 20 feet of vertical drop; The flat efficiency curve yields better annual performance than other turbine systems; Excellent behavior with partial load or low stream flow; Well suited for unattended electricity production
GE provides a full range of hydro turbines with the market-leading technology. Our dedicated Global Technology Centers use state of the art tools and testing facilities to ensure our turbines lead the market in efficiency.
Our modernized Kaplan turbine is 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.
LH1000 Low Head Engine. The LH1000 is specifically designed machine to operate efficiently in low-head sites. It takes advantage of the same generator as the Stream Engine, however the water turbine component uses a low head propeller design.
Canyon Hydro designs and manufactures small hydro systems ranging from 4kW to 25MW. Each system is designed and built at our manufacturing facilites in the USA.
ANDRITZ Hydro provides a wide variety of different turbine types - from Pelton turbines for high head applications and large output over Francis turbines for the medium net head range and large output up to 800 MW per unit to Kaplan
Nautilus manufacturers high quality micro hydro Francis and Propeller turbines designed and built in-house in the US. We specialize in ultra low and medium head reaction turbines.
Next-Generation Small Hydro: Very Low Head Turbines. Bigger financial and ecological benefits are driving demand for small hydro projects. Elisabeth Fischer spoke to Claude O''Neil, co-inventor of the very low head turbine, an affordable and green alternative for small-scale waterway sites.
Cadens Hydro is currently testing full scale 3D printed composite turbine systems at our ultra-low head hydropower research facility in southeast WI. Design-to-print production parts enable the radical reduction in costs to build micro-to-small hydropower systems.
