Eric Schlacht, President

Delta View Farms Ltd.

I would personally like to thank Carnotech Energy, on behalf of Delta View Farms Ltd, for your outstanding work on our energy audit and CHP proposal. As a food producer we aim to produce our produce in a way that uses as little energy as possible. Armed with our energy audit we can begin to work towards this goal. The work on the CHP proposal helped us to think outside the box by allowing us to envision a future of producing our own "Green Energy". We look forward to working with Carnotech Energy in the future to help us make this a reality.

Small Hydropower

Powerhouse Srinakarin dam

Run of river is one of the most reliable and proven methods of generating sustainable and green energy. Small-hydroelectric projects use a portion of water flow and elevation drop of a stream to generate power. Unlike conventional hydropower projects, run of river facilities do not require storing large amounts of water in reservoirs, and instead, only a portion of a stream flow is diverted from a river to generate power. As the water runs down the penstock, the force of gravity gives the water the required speed to spin the turbines to generate green electrical energy. After the power is generated, the water is returned to the river without altering downstream flows.

Components of a Small Hydropower Project

A small hydropower consists of an intake, penstock, powerhouse, tailrace and substation. The intake is a structure that diverts a portion of a creek’s flow into a penstock or pipe. The penstock is usually a pipeline that carries the diverted water from the intake into the powerhouse, which is a building that houses turbines to generate power. After the water passes through the turbines, a tailrace returns the water back into the creek. The substation contains transformers to convert the produced power to a higher voltage. The power generated in the powerhouse is transmitted to the grid through a transmission or power line. Carnotech Energy can offer full range of technical and project consultation as follows:
