Kinetic Micro Hydro System for electrification of rural areas

Description

Smart Hydro Power developed and patented a 100 % renewable energy-based, reliable and easy to be-installed hydro-kinetics micro hydropower solution that reaches unparalleled levelised cost of electricity (EUR 20 per kWh) and maintenance cost (less than EUR 0.25 per kWh). The solution consists of a hydro-turbine integrated into microgrid smart systems targeting the rural and remote areas electrification sector. The technology is already validated. The EU-funded SMART Slowflow project will develop a detailed technical and business feasibility analysis. It will focus on the supply chain reduction of production costs, the industrial product design and cost quantification, customer validation, the analysis of the achievable markets and the refinement of the business model for the market entry phase.
