FAQ


What is hydraulic energy?

Hydraulic energy is a way of obtaining electricity by taking advantage of the kinetic and potential energy contained in a body of water,  it can be from a current, a waterfall or a tide.

How does a micro turbine generate energy?

A micro turbine is mechanical equipment that extracts energy from the fluid because of the dynamic interaction between the device and the fluid. This fluid from dynamic energy to mechanical energy exchange is transmitted to the turbine shaft which is coupled to an electric generator which transforms the latter into electric energy.

Why Tecnoturbines?

The use of micro hydro turbines from Tecnoturbines has different benefits such as cost reduction, energy savings, energy supply and overpressure reduction. By taking advantage of the energy of water, energy costs are reduced, allowing a reliable energy supply at all times. In addition, it is a completely clean type of energy, without any type of emissions that can affect our environment in a negative way.

What do the turbines connected to the grid work for?

The turbines connected to the grid work for self-consumption or for direct sale to the grid. These reduce excess hydraulic pressure, transforming it into electricity.

What do battery-charging turbines work for?

Turbines for battery charging work to solve energy supply problems in places that have difficult access to the grid but have hydraulic resources. These turbines can cover even the most complex ones of tens of kilowatts.

What type of turbine suits me?

To find out which type of turbine is best for you, you will find a short questionnaire on our website. At the end of answering it, we will recommend immediately which type of turbine best suits your needs. To access the questionnaire directly, click here.

How do I calculate the power of a turbine?

To calculate the power of a turbine, you can access our website where you can find a blog with the complete explanation of how to carry out these calculations. Access the blog “Calculate the power of a turbine.”

What are the benefits of using hydropower?

Using hydropower has many benefits, both environmental and economic. It is a clean and inexpensive way to generate energy. Hydraulic energy does not generate any type of emissions to the environment, it allows energy independence and the costs to generate energy are very low. For the energy to be generated, you do not have to use any type of fuel, only the potential and kinetic energy of water. Once the water passes through the turbine, it returns directly to the same body of water

Where can micro hydro turbines be used?

Our hydraulic turbines are adaptable to different orographic conditions. They can be used in:

– Irrigation facilities                                       – Agricultural farms

– Water tanks                                                 – Industrial facilities

– Reservoirs                                                    – Rural areas

– Irrigation communities                                – Water pipes

– Drinking water or wastewater collectors

How is the process for installing the turbine?

Tecnoturbines will carry out a personalized study of each project and will be present throughout the project’s life cycle. It would begin first with a field study based on the data provided by the client, where the technical-economic feasibility will be analyzed without any commitment. After the field study, we will provide all the engineering design, we will provide the necessary support and we will be constantly monitoring the work to ensure customer satisfaction. Finally, our technicians will start up the equipment to ensure its optimal operation.
