Baseload Renewables

Designs and supplies modular, variable speed hydropower systems that effectively supplant traditional water pressure reduction valves
Original valve stays in place as redundant comfort for utilities
Can deliver power with a major baseload component at costs competitive with intermittent sources like wind or solar, with negligible land use
Synchs easily with the grid and unique, patented variable speed capability facilitates an estimated 60% more power than the fixed speed systems which are the norm in hydropower
Analogous to wind, where variable speed was a huge breakthrough in the cost per kWh
Seven systems in commercial operation, with sales trend of bigger orders for multiple systems, bigger units, and repeat orders indicative of growing acceptance
Negative 0.63 tCO2e per MWh
