In addition to photovoltaic and wind systems, nowadays in-pipe water to wire power systems are becoming particularly interesting for the integration of renewable resources at urban and building scale because of the potential to harness clean energy from excess head pressure in urban and domestic water pipelines. Able to operate across a wide range of head and flow conditions, these particular micro hydro power systems can be deployed in municipalities, energy-intensive industries and agricultural irrigation districts providing a consistent amount of clean and continuous energy without the typical intermittency of wind and solar and at the same time helping in pipelines management and maintenance. In- conduit hydropower system harnesses the energy generated by water flowing through large pipelines, providing predictable, base load renewable energy with no environmental impact. A unique in-pipe turbine that captures energy from fast-moving water inside of gravity-fed water pipelines to produce clean, reliable, low-cost electricity Because of unique lift-based, vertical axis spherical turbine, which spins as water passes it, this smart Pipe can operate across a wide range of flow conditions, volumes and velocities without any significant reduction in pressure. This System enables industrial, municipal and agricultural facilities and street lighting to generate clean, reliable, low-cost electricity from their gravity-fed water pipelines and effluent streams.
