Are you active in rural electrification? Then you know the challenges of
project implementation in inhospitable environments.
- SMART products are designed as robust solutions for decentralized
electrification along rivers
- Outstanding experience in installing hydro kinetic systems in most
inhospitable areas in Latin America, Africa and Asia
- Constant investment in product development for generation
technology and innovative power distribution
- Unique combination of German engineering with the flexibility and
dynamic tendencies of emerging markets
- Strong financial background with public and private shareholders
- Renowned by business partners, distinguished with several rewards
Rural electrification is our core!
SMART solutions for rural electrification

SMART MONOFLOAT
TURBINE
Up to 5kW submerged river turbine for
locations with high incidence of debris
SMART HYBRID SYSTEM
Photovoltaic panel combined with the river
turbine, complement each other for the productive use of
energy
SMART FREE STREAM
5kW river/canal turbine fixed to the river
bottom – requires only 1,1 m depth

SHP develops and commercializes environmentally friendly kinetic micro
hydropower systems as the backbone for our rural electrification solutions.
SMART Turbine: unique base load energy
5kW underwater
generator: permanent
magnet, three phasic and
provides AC power.
Diffuser (HDPE):
increases water velocity
when passing through the
generator and protects the
generator.
Rotor: slightly curved
blades to improve
performance against
debris.
One diving float:
submerges when the water
flow speed increases,
avoiding debris.
Debris protection:
stainless steel wires,
accurately calculated, in a
way that debris neither
remain attached nor gets
to the blades.
The anchorage can be done at the bottom of the river,
at a bridge as well as on the side of the river. 0

Output curve of the generator
• Continuous energy generation 24/7
• Specially suitable for productive use of energy
like workshops or food processing
• Standardized, modular and easily scalable: more
turbines, solar panels and battery can be added
to the system, according to demand increase
• Can be connected to the grid if central grid is
expanded
• Easy to install: the whole system can be up and
running in one day
• Easy to maintain: debris protection cleaning is
the only maintenance required

100% availability
SMART hybrid systems pay back
• SMART hybrid plant beats any other system by > 50% lower cost of energy
(U$/kWh) – incl. all re-investments and operation costs
• Diesel generator either as back up or to reduce battery costs
• Results stable for variety of simulations with different diesel prices, radiation
and river velocities*
* Homer simulation with velocity of 1.9 m/s, diesel price of 1.3 U$/l, kinetic turbine simulated as wind turbine
