The 10 kW EnCurrent Power Generation System is able to generate as much as 90 MWh of electricity per year and is available in a standalone or grid connected configuration. This is enough electricity to power four to five average homes on a continuous basis. The system is available in two models:
- High Velocity Model
Designed for 10 kW power output at 3 m/s with a four bladed turbine.
- Restricted Flow Model
The restricted flow model uses a five bladed turbine which increases the resistance in the turbine. It is used in locations where the majority of the water in the channel flows through the turbine and where the increased resistance causes water to be backed up behind the turbine.
