Project Summary
Archimedes screw generators are small-scale hydropower devices that are usually installed as diversion systems at sites with low head and moderate flow rates. The Archimedes Screw is a revolutionary Hydroelectric Turbine design based on the Greek Archimedes Screw principles. It is a fish friendly, efficient device for converting the potential energy of flowing water into usable electricity. It is recognized as one of the most reliable, predictable and least environmentally intrusive of all renewable energies with little or No Co2 and other greenhouse gas emissions and high energy payback. Hydro power supports clean development and is recognize as being fully renewable and sustainable in many countries installation of such equipment is encouraged by government in order to assist with meeting their green energy production targets . this encouragement ranges from assistance with grant funding to purchasing the generated electricity at a premium prise .All of this helps to keep payback periods to a minimum and ensures that installed of equipment becomes a revenue generator as quickly as possible .The Archimedes generators are ideal for low head high flow applications. They generates green renewable energy 24/7.
