HYDRO
Alt-Energy Tech Inc. is one of few international companies with specialist expertise in mini-hydro projects (projects generally less than 1 MW, and on occasion less than 1 kW). Such projects demand a different engineering approach to the larger schemes in order to keep designs flexible and cost realistic, and require a broad understanding of all the diverse technical and non-technical elements that contribute to a successful scheme.
We offer an experienced team of independent experts, without affiliation to any project developers or equipment suppliers, capable of providing expert technical consultancy to private and institutional clients in the developing world.
Alt-Energy Tech's activities in the field of mini-hydro and micro-hydro cover:
- Site identification pre-feasibility and feasibility surveys and analyses of mini-hydro projects.
- Negotiation of environmental permissions
- Research and development of innovative solutions to reduce the costs of low-head projects
- Implementation of micro-hydro projects for off-grid communities
- Technology transfer of appropriate designs to developing country manufacturers
- Project formulation and appraisal for national and international aid agencies
- Development of specialist analysis software
- Training on micro-hydro technology and economics
