The Hydrobarge Concept

The premise is quite simple, we are replicating a nacelle situation using our 6 bladed hydrolienne to replace the original wind turbine blades, matching the flow and diameter with existing wind turbine components.

A Hydro Barge is our catamaran concept. The main bearing is connected to the bridge deck, whilst the nacelle then sits on the bridge deck.

The roof comprises of a photovoltaique array sized to suit the legacy equipment and barge dimensions. This provides a hybrid generation, increasing solar input during summer months when the run of river may be reduced.

Key Benefits

· Modularizable to suit hydrolienne dimensions.

· Utilises existing nacelle components.

· Controlled environment.

· Minimum marine impact as floating.

· Transportable.

· Nacelle roof will also include PV.

· Perfect for river charging of localised power storage - for EV charging points etc.

· Ideally used in tidal, two direction, estuaries for electric ferry charging.

Standalone Charging for EVs/Factories/BESS etc.
