eco-twin
relio's eco-twin is the most powerful and efficient run-of-river hydroturbine on the market.
Its innovative design enables constant renewable electricity output through completely stable operation in a river flow.
eco-twin is the most cost-effective way to generate substantial electricity from rivers, especially where flexible deployment is required and infrastructure construction such as heads or dams are not desirable or not possible.
Designed for deployment in larger rivers with sufficient volume, the eco-twin hydroturbines generate constant electricity for central grid, isolated grid or off-grid use. Unlike other small hydropower installations they can be installed as single installations or in large arrays, thus providing scalable, flexible and redundant electricity at a site.
eco-twin - key features
eco-twin deployment
Whether as a single turbine installation or set up as an array of tens or hundreds of hydroturbines, relio eco-twin hydroturbines are the most cost-effective way to generate substantial renewable energy reliably.
eco-twin hydroturbines are ideal for power companies, power plant developers and EPC contractors as well as industries and communities. Easy installation, minimal environmental impact, low maintenance, low cost per kW and low Levelised Cost of Energy make the eco-twin hydroturbines the electricity source of choice to satisfy electricity demand in river proximity.
Some of the many application areas for relio eco-twin turbines
- Large arrays in major rivers to feed into central grid
- Industry main or back-up supply
- Levelling supply for intermittent renewable sources, such as solar and wind
- Energy storage
- Remote location supply
- Local community power generation schemes
- Localised supply in countries without central grid
