What are Kinetic What are Kinetic Turbines?Turbines?
Convert flow kinetic energy into powerLow environmental impact – does not require head, dam, or impoundment– minimizes fish impact: screens; air; slow RPM
Limited data – long term deployment; cold weather impact– cost information; not commercially demonstrated
Modular Rapid DeploymentModular Rapid Deployment
600 kW twin unit (base load)Water velocity = 4.0 m/sWater density = 1000 kg/m3
Prove year-long operationEvaluate the applicability of kinetic turbines Establish operation and cost-effectiveness in all seasonsProve kinetic turbines can– achieve high capacity factor/
high availability – deliver base load power
Commercial Testing Commercial Testing of Kinetic Turbines of Kinetic Turbines
Positive step towards SustainabilityEnvironmental breakthrough for remote communitiesNew source of renewable energy Support distributed generation industry Show DG can workConnect alternative power to grid
Why Kinetic Turbines in ManitobaWhy Kinetic Turbines in ManitobaManitoba resource– vast river system– requires flow velocities above 2.5 m/s
Renewable energy technologyRemote communities applicationFits hydro-base cultureRapid deployment and modularBase load generationLikely cost effective distributed energyEnhance and build research capacity at the University of Manitoba
Commercialization Commercialization and R&D Objectivesand R&D Objectives
Will test for the first time a kinetic turbine for commercialization – 1 year period; cold climate; higher power density– River application; grid connected– Higher flow velocity UEK kinetic turbine (2.5 m/s)– Develop Safety and procedures protocols– Want proven technology for cold weather climates and
high river flow velocities
May prove new viable small-hydro application for remote communities
