Oryon Watermill

Modular Build Hydropower Plant

The Oryon Watermill is the ultimate solution for generating electricity out of low head hydro power, likes rivers, small dams or tidal energy. Due to its innovative design the turbine is self-starting and operates in any flow direction, which makes it very suitable among others for tidal currents.

Free flow: In remote areas, decentralized energy generation is a key solution, generating energy close to the consumer in combination with a local smartgrid. The Oryon Watermill Twin Cat system provides 24/7 electricity generation for off/on grid communities. The innovative design with modulair ballast tanks, the installation is operational within 48h without the need for extensive civil structures. The Twin Cat can be transported over land and water. Service and maintenance can be done locally and the system can be monitored via the internet.

Forced flow: In places where water levels are controlled by weirs, there is an abundancy of available energy. The Oryon Watermill, suitable for head above 1m is the most efficient and 100% fish-friendly solution up to a fall height of 5 meters. This affordable hydropower solution makes use of the available civil structures.
