Issues before installation
It was unclear whether the research and development of efficient equipment for installation in rapid-flow waterway would yield results.
However,the shape of the blades(design) based on analysis of hundreds of patterns of blades in model tests and a mechanism(patented) that can maintain stable output even with fluctuating flow rates were developed, and a dusting device was also made unnecessary, which significantly reduced maintenance costs.
Installation purpose
Electricity sales and community contribution projects
Benefits of Introduction
A portion of the income from electricity sales can be returned to the local community and a system for supplying locally produced and consumed electricity can be established, contributing to the revitalisation of local industry,etc.
