Is there any type of Hydro Power that I can utilise or install without having to effect too much change or very little environmental damage? We are in a game park & an ecologically perfect location. We require around 60 KW. Diesel power is an option, but not a good one. We know of installed micro power systems in the past, but have no knowledge of any suppliers. Can or could you assist please? What I have seen further upstream (about 580Miles) is a 75KVA 220VAC turbine suspended 2metres from the bottom of two floating pontoons anchored offshore in the river's flow & would like to acquire a similar set-up. The distance from the shore to a river bottom depth (at our camp) of around 6 metres is only 4 or 5 metres into the river & the flow is in excess of 20000Cu Metres per sec, but the river only falls approx 1metre in 900metres."
If your river's bottom profile and its boat traffic allow it, a stream turbine like the one you saw makes good sense. With anything anchored in a swift stream, d�bris are also a concern. The best would be to contact those folk upstream of you and learn as much as you can about their operating experience, and if that is good contact the manufacturer of their rig.
