Electrical Power Generation:

• The Water Current Generator (WCG) will use the renewable energy of “water currents” to produce electric power at substantially reduced costs. 

• Unprecedented electricity production through renewable energy  with a cost that is usually less than both renewable and conventional technologies.

• Over the years, our micro-hydroelectric power generation system will ensure a constant and predictable production cost, unaffected by the evolution of fossil energy prices. It will be able to meet the increasing demands of an application niche of decentralized power production, especially in remote areas without grid power infrastructure.

• Generators are placed on shore so no water work is involved for their periodic maintenance. All electrical portions are on dry land, avoiding the need for barges or divers or complicated work around water and electricity. The only maintenance on a unit is bearing replacement after a few years on the generators.

• No CO2 emission. The process is eligible for CO2 or green certificates.

A Simplified Example:

Consider the installation of a Alternative Energy EG (Electrical Generator) unit every 30m in a canal with a current velocity of 2.5m/s for a distance of 1.6km. This would allow for approximately 54 units installed in this distance. Each EG in this example has a name-plate production capacity of 150kWh = 8,316kWh of production per hour for the entire system. 8,316kWh annually = 72,848,160 kWh or 72,848.16 MW of annual production. Consider what your Energy costs are for your locality to estimate the value of this Energy.

Environmental Impact:

The Water-Current-Generator (WCG) creates energy through water-currents therefore the system is environmentally friendly.  By producing the thermal energy required to drive the phase-change processes and by producing the electricity required to drive the membrane processes these systems are dual-purpose facilities, producing both electricity and potable water. 

Applications: 

– Electrical Production

– Energy needed for the Alternative Energy DS

– Energy needed for the Alternative Energy Water FS
