The 5 kW EnCurrent Power Generation System is the smallest system provided by New Energy. It generates enough electricity to power two to five average homes on a continuous basis and is available in a standalone or grid connected configuration. The system is available in three models:
- High Velocity Model
Designed for 5 kW power output at 3 m/s with a four bladed turbine.
- Low Velocity Model
Designed for 5 kW power output at 2.4 m/s with a four bladed turbine. The low-velocity model employs a turbine rotor with a cross-sectional area twice the size of the high-velocity model.
- 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.
