The VFH Turbine™ harnesses the natural flow and elevation of rivers to generate green, renewable energy. By diverting a portion of the river’s stream into a penstock, the water is channeled downhill into the VFH Turbine™ and then returned to the river. This process captures the river’s potential energy without the need for large dams or reservoirs, making it a more environmentally friendly solution. Additionally, the VFH Turbine™ improves aquatic life and water quality by increasing dissolved oxygen levels during operation.
While energy generation is the primary focus, we also ensure the protection of aquatic life with the Safe Fish Passage technology. This system uses a patented hydroscreen to divert water into the turbine without trapping fish, debris, or sediment. The hydroscreen allows fish to safely bypass the turbine, maintaining the river’s natural ecosystem. This technology is low maintenance, requires no dams or reservoirs, and integrates seamlessly with the energy production process.
