UTICA® HydroGrid series generation relies simply on the extraction of energy from the natural velocity of water, these micro power generators can be placed into sources of flowing water with minimal infrastructure or environmental impacts.
For thousands of years, people have used the energy produced by moving water to perform tasks such as grinding food grains and sawing wood. The hydroelectric take advantage of a naturally occurring, continuous process that involves the cycling of water through the environment, known as the hydrologic cycle, to convert the potential energy from flowing water into electrical energy.
