Pico hydroelectric power plants
Hydroelectric power even in the smallest hut.
If you need something a little smaller, Pico hydroelectric power plants are a compact and low-maintenance solution. They are used to generate electricity in regions without a public power grid, with the hydraulic parameters, water volume and net head determining the usable power. The energy generated is fed into a battery buffer, which allows higher amounts of energy to be drawn from the buffer in the short term than the turbine can deliver.
The Pelton turbine used for this purpose has a horizontal impeller arrangement. The outflow is via a pipe on which the turbine is placed. The water supply line is connected to the bayonet couplings. Depending on the amount of water, up to three nozzles are possible; the water leaves the turbine without pressure.
The area of application is in energy supply for:
• Energy supply for alpine huts
• Mountain huts and hunting lodges
• Weekend homes
• Data measuring stations
• Elevated tanks
• Developing countries
The advantages:
• High energy yield through continuous operation with up to 8760 hours/year
• Simple, robust design
• Low maintenance
• Suitable for drinking water
• Easily adaptable
• Can be combined very well with photovoltaics
• Low weight
• Inexpensive
