About
HELAS is a private headquartered in München, Germany specializing in Hydro.
HELAS (Hydro Elektrische Anlagen Systeme) is a German renewable energy company developing innovative patented hydroelectric power systems. Founded by Georgios Sklivanos and Stefanos Sklivanos, the company specializes in small-scale hydropower installations that operate efficiently at water velocities as low as 0.5 m/s. The HELAS system uses an acceleration device to multiply water speed, achieving 30 kW output at 1 m/s flow compared to 0.75 kW for conventional systems of equivalent size. The installations require no structural modifications, are environmentally friendly, and can be deployed in rivers and oceans. Units range from 10 kW to 2 MW capacity, with a 100 kW system producing approximately 820,000 kWh annually and offering payback periods under 3 years at German electricity rates. The technology is protected under EU Patent No. 19704314.4.
