If you want the very best intake screen for your hydro system you want a hydroscreen from Bob Weir…..”We don’t just sell screens, we engineer solutions” www.hydroscreen.com
If you can not get 3 – 10 feet of vertical drop to use an ESD LH1000 hydro machine you might be able to use an in stream type of turbine. For level rivers with good flow a Darrieus wheel turbine may work for you. Alternative Hydro Solutions makes this type of machine www.althydrosolutions.com
Energy Systems and Design makes microhydro power machines in the 1-2kw range. It is possible to put in more than one machine to increase output at larger sites. If you are in the Vancouver BC area and need an installer who knows ESD machines, or if you have a larger site in the 5 to 50 kW range suited for a larger AC machine , you might want to check http://www.homepower.ca RPT Electronics does an incredible job with hydro power projects small and large.
Energy Systems and Design micro hydro turbines are in the 1-2kW range. For needs in the 100 kW – 25 MW range, Canadian Hydro Components www.canadianhydro.com, CHC designs and manufactures Kaplan, Propeller and Francis turbines for projects in output from 100 kW – 25 MW.
