From Ziroth: Natel Energy recently announced a partnership with Symbion power called MyHydro. The aim is to deploy their new restoration hydro turbine throughout the Democratic Republic of Congo. This video looks at how it works and what it means for the clean energy sector.
This video describes the RHT as a "micro" turbine, but Natel is actively moving toward large-size installations. The DRC installations will be small, but not micro turbines.
In September 2021, Natel worked with Kleinschmidt Associates on a through-turbine test of juvenile alewife.
We need hydropower solutions that prioritize biodiversity alongside renewable energy production.
Abe Schneider and Sterling Watson lay out the argument for FishSafe™ turbines in this paper published in The International Journal of Hydropower & Dams, Issue 5.
