New Chinese technology to tackle rising electricity bills
View(s):Global Allianz (Pvt) Ltd, Sri Lanka’s pioneering Chinese hydropower equipment supplier, is providing the latest Chinese technology to reduce electricity bills with the use of micro hydropower systems.
“We have been representing one of China’s top 10 manufacturers certified by UNIDO for the last 15 years. We are proud to be the single largest supplier of the hydropower systems in Sri Lankan mini hydropower industry and to be associated with many sophisticated projects,” said Upali Rangebandara, Managing Director, in a media release.
Global Allianz is introducing the latest cost effective micro hydropower systems to be used in very small streams starting from a water flow of 03 ltrs per second to 180ltrs per sec. The single unit capacities for varied flows and heads can be from 300w to 60kw. The head variation can be from 15mtrs to 300mtrs.
“The beauty of this system is that it is fully compact, ready-to-be-connected unit. The turbine generator system is an AC direct system consisting of turbine-generator unit producing AC power which is used as needed. You do not need to have a battery set up or an inverter to connect to the equipment,” the statement said.
This can be combined with the CEB’s newly introduced net metering system thus bringing monthly electricity bills to zero.
“This system will do well with estate bungalows, factories, eco- hotels, etc in the areas where you have some good rains and consistent water flows.
Installation is so easy that you can connect a water pipe directly to the turbine and no high skilled labour is required,” the company said.
