Austrian Hydropower Turbine Manufacturer Seeking Joint Venture

Company Overview

The company is an Austrian plug and play hydropower turbine manufacturer that creates a highly standardized and compact system (container) which allows for it to be installed in an economical fashion, minimizing construction measures at a potential site to a few excavation and concrete works, in the process shortening the project duration, saving costs, and keeping the ecological footprint very small. 

• Along with installation of the turbine, the company offers additional services such as energy consulting, support with project implementation, and service and maintenance work.
• Industrialized countries are a target market for the company with rising energy prices making it more important than ever for countries to be self-sufficient. The product would allow users (municipalities, companies, energy communities) to secure their own base load supply and produce electricity wherever it is needed without being subject to fluctuations.
• The global south is also a major target market, being home to a number of developing nations where fossil fuels are being used extensively for power generation. The product would allow affordable, reliable, and sustainable access to electricity in rural and remote areas since it does not require a nationwide grid coverage.
• In the future, the company plans to offer further plug and play small hydropower solutions through development using a smart energy mix, smart meter technology, and constant monitoring.
• The global small hydropower market is expected to reach USD 3 billion by 2024 with initiatives related to rural and remote electrification driving demand. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the biggest consumer of such products. 

Product or Technology Overview

Following information about the turbine is available-

• Output per container: 35 kW (depending on the location)
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Weight: 10 tons
• Life Span: 15 years, after which it can be examined at the factory and reprocessed to be put back into operation

 

Advantages include easy transport, plug and play, immediate commissioning without requiring skilled personnel, a compact and robust design, flood-proof, fish-friendly, low investment and short payback period, and easy integration into existing energy solutions.

This makes the product ideal to use in developing countries as an alternative to diesel generators, for supplementing generation in existing microgrids (grid stability), and rapid restoration of a sustainable emergency electrical supply in disaster areas.
