Effective Utilization of Water--Hydro-e KIDS_(TM) Micro-Hydroelectric Generating Equipment

摘要

Toshiba has developed the Hydro-e KIDS_(TM) micro-hydroelectric generating equipment based on the concepts of reduced construction costs, reduced generating equipment costs by standardization, reduced operation and maintenance costs, and more reliable and safer facilities, taking global warming and environmental conservation into consideration. This small-scale hydroelectric generating equipment is suitable for use with water supply and sewerage systems, irrigation, water for industrial use, responsible discharge from dams, and so on. For utilization of small-volume water discharge, industrial users are studying the utilization of discharges from factories and water treatment facilities (e.g., various types of cooling equipment) in order to contribute to environmental conservation and promote energy saving by using renewable energy. Toshiba has recently developed a new type of Hydro-e KIDS_(TM) (SS Type) to expand the range of applications in response to these market needs.
