  1. Micro Turbines Which is Right for You?

  2. Harris Hydro The Harris system is an efficient, durable, battery charging pelton turbine with a PM generator. Probably the most abundant micro-hydro unit in the U.S. The multiple nozzle arrangement allows considerably more water to impact the runner, resulting in greater output at any head, and usable power at a much lower head. • • • 1 nozzle $1700 2 nozzle $1800 4 nozzle $1950 • • • www.harrishydro.com

  3. Energy Systems & Energy Systems & Design Design 2 Nozzle Bronze $2395 4 Nozzle Bronze $2545 High Voltage Option $200 High Current Option $100 Stream Engine Brushless, permanent magnet alternator which is adjustable Capable of outputs over 1 kilowatt Heads from 6 to 300 feet. Equipped with a rugged bronze turgo wheel, universal nozzles (adaptable to sizing from 1/8 to1 inch), and a digital multimeter which is used to measure output current. • • • • • www.microhydropower.com

  4. Energy Systems & Energy Systems & Design Design Low Head Propeller Turbine Uses the same generator as the Stream Engine, however the water turbine component uses a low head propeller design. heads of 2 feet up to 10 feet. At the maximum head, the output is 1 kW. Water Baby Operates much the same as the Stream Engine but requires very little water (pelton wheel) Will operate on as little as 3 gpm but requires at least 100 feet of head. At a head of 100 feet and a flow of 3 gpm the output is 25 watts; at 24 gpm the output is 250 watts. • • • • • • • • Baby Generator, 1 Nozzle (12/24 volt) $1395 LH1000 with Draft Tube $1995 Extra Nozzles (installed) $120 ea High Voltage Option $200 extra High Voltage (48/120 volt) $100 High Current Option $100 extra www.microhydropower.com

  5. Hydro Induction Power Good for long wire runs, 60' - 500' head, 10 - 600 gpm The units produce 3-Phase 120V, 240V, or 480V 'wild' (unregulated) AC, which is then stepped down to battery voltage. The heavy-duty brushless alternator is housed on the Harris Housing Uses the Harris bronze Pelton Wheel for flows up to 200 gpm and the bronze Turgo Runner for flows of 200 to 600 gpm. • HV 600 with 2 Nozzles $2500 HV 600 with 4 Nozzles $2600 HV 1200 with 4 Nozzles $3000 HV 1800 with 4 Nozzles $3500 HV 3600 with 4 Nozzles $5000 Turgo option $600 • • • • • • • • • www.hipowerhydro.com

  6. Hydro Induction Power Now offer a new LOW VOLTAGE (12V/24V), brushless unit (48V coming in 2006). It can generate either 12V or 24V with pressures from 20psi to 150psi (46' - 400'). Above this pressure, it will generate 48V. Lots of accessories • 12/24V Hydro with 1 Nozzle: $1350 12/24V Hydro with 2 Nozzles:$1400 12/24V Hydro with 3 Nozzles:$1450 12/24V Hydro with 4 Nozzles:$1500 • Upgrade from Harris Hydro: $500 Turgo option $600 • www.homehydro.com

  7. Powerpal Low head model A simple AC single-phase, brushless permanent magnet alternator is attached to a propeller turbine. Electricity passes along a wire and into a house, where an electronic load controller stabilizes the voltage to 110V or 220V to protect electrical appliances during use. Many models available (see chart, next slide) • • • • The 200 watt unit needs 550 gallons per minute www.powerpal.com MHG-200LH MHG-500LH MHG-1000LH 4.92 4.92 4.92 Water head (ft) 555 1110 2061 Water flow (gpm) 200W 500W 1000W Output Power
