Are you involved in the hydropower sector, and wonder how to reduce the equipment cost of a new or a refurbished scheme? Are you working for or with a water-intensive industry (e.g. mining, food & beverage, pharma, tech, manufacturing) and want to hear how to recover electricity from the existing pipelines? Are you a landowner or a community willing to develop a <100 kW hydro scheme on your property?

Join this Webinar to learn more about the pump-as-turbine technology.

Since 2011the Dwr Uisce research team based in Trinity College Dublin has been working on a novel type of low-cost and modular water turbine, consisting of using regular water pumps in reverse as turbines. The Webinar will introduce the technology and provide an overview of the locations where it could be beneficial. In addition the results from the pilot plants operating since 2019 will be presented.
