Hydro-eKIDS™
In order to improve the economic viability, Toshiba have developed a new concept to improve the manufacturing and construction efficiency of hydro turbine and generator sets for small scale hydroelectric power generation, through a mass production approach.Toshiba presents a new product, Hydro-eKIDS, for Low Head and Small Scale Hydroelectric Power Plants.
What is the Hydro-eKIDS?
Wide Output Range of 5 to 200 kW with three standard Propeller Turbines and effective head between 2 and 15 m. See: Product Range
Flexible Application for Various Types of Sites with parallel arrangement for larger discharge and a cascade arrangement for higher effective head. See: Arrangements
Small and Compact Package to facilitate transportation and handling.
Reduced Construction Cost achieved by adopting a straight pipe-in shape for turbine water passage, which simplifies construction work. See: Basic Installation
Reduced Concrete Volume for Foundation achieved by mounting the generator on the turbine structure.
