All our micro hydraulic turbines optionally have the possibility of remote monitoring through different web portals and mobile applications available for the products supplied by Powerturbines. The monitoring system is an essential computer application to verify that the installation is in optimal conditions. Thanks to this we can access in real time the information recorded …
Currently, energy storage is among the energy priorities of the European Commission. It is a key component to provide flexibility and support the integration of renewable energy into the power system. Thanks to this technology, it helps to balance centralized and distributed electricity generation, reduces losses in the network, and can even reduce extreme price …
In pressurized irrigation water distribution networks, it is necessary to guarantee a certain flow and a minimum pressure to all hydrants. In practice, this implies that the regulation of the manometric height in the pumps is made according to the most unfavorable hydrants, causing excess pressure in the rest. For this reason, the installation of …
A Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) or Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is a facility whose objective is to reduce water pollution through some procedures to acceptable limits for the receiving channel. This process consumes a large amount of energy, in Spain, it accounts for approximately 2% of the total energy demand. Currently, water purification already produces …
Hybrid photovoltaic installations are electricity generation systems that combine solar energy with other sources of renewable energy. In our case, the installation of photovoltaic panels is combined with the installation of micro hydraulic turbines. How does a hybrid photovoltaic installation work? The operation of hybrid installations is based on taking advantage of the energy generated …
Water agencies, thanks to our micro hydro turbines, can control water pressure while producing 100% renewable energy, turning excess pressure into a revenue stream. It is installed in line or in parallel to a pressure reducing valve (PRV) converting excess pressure into electricity, which provides the installation with an economic income with an extremely fast …
A small hydro power plants can be equipped with different types of micro hydro turbines. In the market, currently, the best known are; Pelton turbine Banki turbine Kaplan turbine Pump used as turbines (PATs) Francis turbine Crossflow turbine Powerturbines is a pioneer company in the use of pumps used as turbines (PATs) and a national …
This week we have started up one of our Microbat turbines for battery charging in the city that has the most UNESCO World Heritage titles in the world, Córdoba. Specifically, the installation has been developed for the Hydraulic Laboratory of the Leonardo da Vinci Building of the University of Córdoba (Campus de Rabanales). This laboratory …
Water is a scarce common good, essential for the well-being of our society and necessary for a good quality of life, at the same time that it is a basic resource of any world economy. Its scarcity raises the need for efficient management. At Powerturbines, we want to contribute by providing innovative, sustainable solutions that …
Typically in microhydro systems the torque from the output shaft of the PAT is converted into electricity by use of a generator. This provides great flexibility for the use of the power as the electricity is easy to transport and use for multiple devices at the same time. The losses experienced in the generation …
