Turbulent developed a small hydroelectric turbine that converts energy from rivers into electricity using whirlpools. Turbulent’s environmentally friendly hydropower technology no dams is an ideal match for Variable Renewable Energy, offering continuous electricity 24-7-365 in mini-grids and micro-grids, even featuring dispatch ability.

Our potential projects range from 15 kW to 70 kW single turbines for small businesses or households, to clusters of turbines coupled to generate multiple megawatts of energy to electrify entire regions.

Using a low-pressure design, we have developed a new kind of turbine that will not harm the local ecosystem. Rivers are a force of nature. We feel the need to use them for energy, but only in such a way that it also improves the living environment of the aquatic creatures.

The vortex turbine is the smallest in its kind for each given energy level. It is preassembled and easily transported to your site.The turbine is fitted with monitoring software, enabling control from anywhere, anytime. Starting at $60,000, their cost is competitive to a solar plant with batteries. more info at Turbulent Hydro.
As our turbines work together with nature, they do not obstruct the normal water flow, eliminating flood risks altogether.A slow RPM impeller with a design that creates low shear stress. The slow rate of pressure difference over the blade ensures that this turbine lets all fish and aquatic life pass by unharmed.
We develop cost-effective hydropower plants that can be installed in any river, canal or waterway that has a drop between 1.5 – 5 m. You can generate electricity using an individual turbine or a network of multiple turbines for higher energy demands, all designed for durability and low maintenance.
