Grid-Tie Micro Hydro Videos

Two 4 nozzle X-Stream Engines were installed at the site. The piping is two 6 inch PVC pipes, running 40 feet into a lake, 50 feet over the dam, and 76 feet down the dam to the generator house. There is 34 feet of fall over the 76 foot length of piping.
This is a grid-tie/off-grid system running at 65 volts, 25.5 amps and 1667.5 watts, combined. This system generates close to 40kW per day.
