Are you active in rural electrification? Then you know the challenges of

project implementation in inhospitable environments.

- SMART products are designed as robust solutions for decentralized

electrification along rivers

- Outstanding experience in installing hydro kinetic systems in most

inhospitable areas in Latin America, Africa and Asia

- Constant investment in product development for generation

technology and innovative power distribution

- Unique combination of German engineering with the flexibility and

dynamic tendencies of emerging markets

- Strong financial background with public and private shareholders

- Renowned by business partners, distinguished with several rewards

Rural electrification is our core!

SMART solutions for rural electrification

SMART MONOFLOAT

TURBINE

Up to 5kW submerged river turbine for

locations with high incidence of debris

SMART HYBRID SYSTEM

Photovoltaic panel combined with the river

turbine, complement each other for the productive use of

energy

SMART FREE STREAM

5kW river/canal turbine fixed to the river

bottom – requires only 1,1 m depth

SHP develops and commercializes environmentally friendly kinetic micro

hydropower systems as the backbone for our rural electrification solutions.

SMART Turbine: unique base load energy

5kW underwater

generator: permanent

magnet, three phasic and

provides AC power.

Diffuser (HDPE):

increases water velocity

when passing through the

generator and protects the

generator.

Rotor: slightly curved

blades to improve

performance against

debris.

One diving float:

submerges when the water

flow speed increases,

avoiding debris.

Debris protection:

stainless steel wires,

accurately calculated, in a

way that debris neither

remain attached nor gets

to the blades.

The anchorage can be done at the bottom of the river,

at a bridge as well as on the side of the river. 0

Output curve of the generator

• Continuous energy generation 24/7

• Specially suitable for productive use of energy

like workshops or food processing

• Standardized, modular and easily scalable: more

turbines, solar panels and battery can be added

to the system, according to demand increase

• Can be connected to the grid if central grid is

expanded

• Easy to install: the whole system can be up and

running in one day

• Easy to maintain: debris protection cleaning is

the only maintenance required

100% availability

SMART hybrid systems pay back

• SMART hybrid plant beats any other system by > 50% lower cost of energy

(U$/kWh) – incl. all re-investments and operation costs

• Diesel generator either as back up or to reduce battery costs

• Results stable for variety of simulations with different diesel prices, radiation

and river velocities*

* Homer simulation with velocity of 1.9 m/s, diesel price of 1.3 U$/l, kinetic turbine simulated as wind turbine
