However, you might not have access to natural sunlight or might be unable to find a suitable location for your solar installation. That’s where water turbines come in!

What is a water turbine generator?

A water turbine generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy from an Aquatic Energy Resource (AER) into electrical energy.

When installed in a hydro system, the WTG can help to improve power generation and reliability. The WTG can also be used for pumped storage, providing needed power during times of peak demand and storing excess energy for later use.

There are a few things you should know when looking to purchase or install a WTG: first, they are not cheap, but they can offer significant savings over traditional power sources; secondly, they require some extra maintenance; and finally, they can create some noise in your system.
