VerdErg's innovative low-head hydropower solution is designed for head drops of 4 metres or less and is suitable for the global micro, mini and tidal range hydropower markets.
Our Venturi-Enhanced Turbine Technology (VETT) technology makes clever use of venturi principles to achieve a pressure amplification for conventional turbines, allowing the use of up to 36% smaller and 4-15x faster turbines in low head settings. This enables project cost reduction of 16% - 39%. In addition, the technology is verified fish-safe with zero mortality, and operates without noise emission and little visual intrusion, allowing it to operate where others can’t.

Our directors have long experience of development and operation of hydro-electric systems. With a family background in hydro-generation going back decades, it was perhaps inevitable we carried this on under our own auspices. We have designed, installed or operated at least 100 small scale hydro sites with a combined output of around 2500kW over a period of around 15 years.
Many of these schemes have been built in environmentally sensitive locations, and have complied with some of the most exacting license conditions.
We have dealt with a range of different operators from utilities, to landowners and mill owners and understand the requirements of different scales of scheme operator.
We'd love to talk to you about your hydropower project!

Tidetec optimized 2-way hydropower
Projected, next-generation tidal lagoon power plants with two-way production have sub-optimal production.
Tidetec technology improves efficiency by >20% of the most cost effective tidal turbine technology by obtaining optimal efficiency both ways. This is achieved by integrating the turbine into a rotating turret. The turning mechanism is patented, and has received international recognition.
The technology enables optimal turbine function in all 4 quadrants (generation and pumping) with bi-directional flow. Tidetec’s technology consists of three main technology components; The turret with a turning mechanism, turbine and caisson. Tidetec’s core competence lies in the integration of these components. Tidetec has developed own 0-d code for annual energy production estimation and production optimization based on their own Hill Chart from Model Turbine.
