HydroCube: Turn key Hydropower units pre-assambled for fastest onsite installation and commissioning.
Challanges for Mini-Hydropower
- Limited Economic feasability of Hydropower installations below 100KWe due to comparatively high cost of planning, construction and machinery.
- Delayed realization due to long delivery time of key components.
- Few alternatives to financing by equity.
Idea and Concept
Reducing the cost for planning and installations by standardisation.
- Easier way through approval and licensing process.
- Accelerated implementation.
- Reduced cost for intallation and maintenance.
Improved integration into local and regional energy planning and grids.
- Realize synergies through integration with community based energy concepts
- SCADA-monitoring and controll, Virtual Power Plant Integration etc.
Flexibilisation of options for financing.
- Investment concepts
- Leasing concepts for Location or Installations
Cooperation und Partnerships
HydroCube water power units are developed and realized in cooperation with partners from research, development and consultancy.
- ARENUM e.V. (DE)
- TU Sofia, Institute for Architecture, Civil Engeneering and Geodesy (BG)
- Pisa University, Fakulty of Engeneering, GRNSPG (IT)
As a team we are working to:
- test standardisations and costreductions
- optimize the integration of components
- improve the lifetime and efficiency of Hydrocube water power unitis
