Business developing a new hydro power solution: transferable self-regulating floating hydro power plant, currently in prototype development and pre-revenue stage. - We aim to revolutionize renewable green energy production through an innovative floating hydro power device designed for global application. - The device can generate electricity using the natural flow of rivers, without the need for dams, partitioning, diversion, channelization, tunnels, or other costly and environmentally disruptive infrastructure. - This self-regulating, floating hydro power plant will have a unique patent (currently pending) for its mechanism that maintains a constant rotational speed of the generator shaft, ensuring optimal electricity generation regardless of fluctuating river flow speeds. This feature eliminates the need for traditional dam structures, which are typically built for this very purpose. - The power output will range from 100–300 kW, and can be increased to 400 kW or more depending on river flow conditions. - The price of electricity (euro/kW) produced by the device is 5 - 7 times lower than that produced in a conventional small hydro power plant. - The device can operates continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are no limitations on the number of units that can be manufactured or deployed and multiple units can be installed to meet higher power demands. Device dimensions: - Width: 9 meters. - Length: 12 meters. - Height: Adjustable from 2.7 to 5.0 meters. - Weight: Approximately 6,500 kg. Construction: - The device will feature a three-part protected steel structure and is transportable via three standard containers. - It can be installed on any suitable river, globally, within 1–2 weeks. - It does not require land acquisition or long-term construction, and it can be relocated as needed. Eco-friendliness: This solution is exceptionally environmentally friendly, causing no harm to aquatic life. It will also help bypass common regulatory, environmental, and community hurdles, significantly reducing the time required to obtain operational permits. Revenue streams: - The project offers multiple revenue models, including device serial production and sales, electricity production and sales, turnkey plant installations, and green hydrogen production and sales. - Patent protection is underway, positioning this as a one-of-a-kind solution in the global hydro energy market. - The founder is an experienced mechanical builder with over 10 years of expertise in reputed firms.
