Why a new type of hydroelectric <strong>turbine</strong>?<br />
• No Manufacturer in the world offers a<br />
Turbine fitted <strong>for</strong> <strong>head</strong>s of less than 2 m.<br />
•The most profitable sites are already built<br />
in developed countries.<br />
• The remaining potential is located be<strong>low</strong><br />
2 m gross <strong>head</strong>.<br />
• Same comments are valid worldwide

• Unperceivable noise and vibration level<br />
• Full output reached and exceeded<br />
• Very precise regulation of upstream water level, generator voltage,<br />
grid voltage and rotation speed<br />
• Variable speed regulation under partial <strong>head</strong>s is validated until 40%<br />
of nominal <strong>head</strong>.<br />
• Soft functioning of the <strong>turbine</strong> down to 30 kW during summer<br />
months 2007<br />
• Yearly objective of production of 2 Million kWh is reached
