Powerturbines

About

Founded in 2013, Powerturbines is a private headquartered in Spain specializing in Hydro.

Powerturbines is a pioneer company specializing in water turbine manufacturing for renewable energy generation in water networks. The company designs and manufactures various turbine models including battery charging turbines, grid-tied turbines, and nanoturbines. Their patented PAT (Pumps as Turbines) technology converts standard pumps into turbines operating in reverse mode, enabling power generation from water flows as low as 2 liters per second with minimum head drops of 10 meters (some models from 4 meters). Applications include drinking water networks, irrigation systems, and ecological flow in rivers and dams. The company provides engineering support, installation guidance, and commissioning services. Turbines are supplied as kits with permanent magnet generators and control systems (battery charge controllers or grid inverters). Efficiency ranges from 50% in small turbines to 75-80% in larger units. Maintenance involves standard pump service procedures with bearing replacement every 10 years and mechanical seal replacement every 5 years.
