Clean and renewable energy should be the goal of every major company in this sector. With this in mind, two Brazilian mechanical engineers, Felipe Votekoski and Giuliano Ratajczyk, have created a micro hydro power plant that can power up to 5 homes.

After developing a prototype through a startup Meta – created by two engineers – now the project is launched and sold through the company hydro.

Micro hydro power plant Hydreo

The Brazilian-made equipment is available in three models: Hidreo Mini (Off Grid), MCH – Alta Queda (On Grid) and MCH – Alta Queda (Off Grid). Initially, the project could serve up to 5 houses, which means saving up to 500 reais on electricity bills if the user is close to a water source. To be functional, structurally, the equipment must be located in a water source that has a natural gravity drop of at least 15 meters, with current applied to drive the turbine.

Check out some aspects of Hideo’s gear below:

• Clean energy with low environmental impact and no risk of water pollution;
• Each MCH module has a power of 1000W (1kW) and can generate a maximum of 720kWh per month;
• For the installation of each MCH module, we indicate the use of a pipe with a diameter of 100 mm, a standard blue irrigation pipe;
• The MCH inverter can be connected to a single-phase, two-phase or three-phase 220V network;
• The operating voltage of the equipment is 220V, it is possible to connect to 110V or 254V;
• The MCH is available in ON GRID and OFF GRID versions, which means that the equipment can be connected to the utility grid or to the battery.

The device is 100% compliant Anil (National Electricity Agency) and received 1 million reais from the program of the Brazilian innovation and research company Finep, which aims to promote innovation, technology and science in Brazil.
