Idnergie, a Montreal based company specialized in green technologies, has created the very first domestic river turbine that allows to supply electricity from the natural water flow of a river. The turbine enable the use of the river the same way solar panels uses energy from the sun or wind turbines the power of the wind, with the distinct advantage of a continuous production, 24 hrs a day.
Among all renewable energy sources, only the river can provide a predictable and reliable source of energy, 24hoursa day. Idnergies turbine is the solution of choice to fully benefit from the continuous production ofenergy offered by the river. This allows, among other advantages, the use of less batteries than the standardnormsince the energy produced is uninterrupted and less subject to weather variations. Idnergies river turbine is theonly water driven technology that meets the needs of a residence by directly supplying household appliances andrecharging batteries. It equally represents an excellent emergency backup system because of the endless supply ofenergy it provides.
The kinetic energy contained in the water is converted into electricity. Thus, the faster goes the water, the greater is the available energy.
Why limit yourself to one turbine when you can install several in the same section of river? It is possible to connect several turbines together on the same bank of batteries with greater capacity and feed a small community or answer the need for more intensive usage. You can transport multiple turbines to a designated area, assemble and install a mini-farm in record time. From this point on, standard off-the-shelf equipment will connect to any type of micro-grid and power the community. An ideal system for countries with rainy seasons lasting several months per year (Monsoon).
