The Future of Hydro Power and Offshore Wind Farms

Key Technology for Renewable Energy Generators

The large scale expansion of renewable power production is under way. Zenergy Power designs and manufactures superconducting components for electric rotating machines. Our industrial partner Converteam employs these components to define new standards of efficiency and economy in the generator world. In run-of-river hydro power plants, superconductor-based generators allow for productivity gains of up to 30%; in turbines for off-shore wind farms they enable a 25% more cost-effective production of power.

• Lower weight and smaller size of generators reduce capital investment;
• High efficiency over complete load-range increases profitability;
• Enables upgrading of existing hydro power plants;
• Facilitates design and construction of offshore wind turbines;
• Cost advantage due to minimal maintenance requirement
