Small hydropower stations – self-sufficient and sustainable electricity generation

Electricity from water – round the clock

Our small-scale hydroelectric power stations provide a reliable and environmentally friendly electricity supply wherever there is no public electricity grid. The compact Pelton turbines generate electricity from natural water resources and are ideal for remote locations, mountain huts, reservoirs or monitoring stations.

Thanks to battery buffering, the energy generated is available at all times. Even small amounts of energy can be stored over extended periods and used when needed to meet higher power demands.

Typical areas of application

Our small hydropower stations are particularly suitable for:

Reservoirs and water supply systems
Spring catchments
Well chambers
Data and monitoring stations
Mountain huts
Holiday cottages
Self-sufficient energy supply systems

Sustainable energy from water

With our small hydropower stations, you can harness the energy of water efficiently, reliably and in an environmentally friendly way. The robust technology, high efficiency and low-maintenance design make our systems the ideal solution for a long-term, self-sufficient electricity supply.

We would be happy to help you choose the right turbine for your head, water flow and power requirements.

Technical information

Battery system and power supply

Our systems are primarily powered by 24 volt battery systems. This keeps line losses to a minimum and ensures efficient energy transfer. For smaller systems, 12 volt operation is also possible.
An inverter can be used to convert the stored energy into 230 volt alternating current, thereby powering electrical appliances such as lighting, communication systems or household appliances.

Intelligent charging control

With sufficient water supply

Once the battery is fully charged, any excess energy is automatically dissipated via a load resistor. Alternatively, a boiler can be integrated to use the excess energy for hot water production.

With limited water supplies

When the battery is fully charged, the water supply is automatically shut off. If the battery voltage falls below a defined threshold, the water supply is reactivated.
This intelligent control system extends the system’s service life and ensures optimum energy yield.

Properties

How small hydropower stations work

Electricity is generated by a robust Pelton turbine with a horizontally mounted impeller. The water is directed onto the turbine wheel via one or more nozzles and drives the generator.

Depending on the model, up to three nozzles can be used to make optimum use of varying water flows. After energy has been generated, the water leaves the turbine at atmospheric pressure.

The energy generated is fed directly into a battery system. This ensures a reliable supply even when energy demand fluctuates.
