30kW Hydro Power Angus: Proterra Energy Case Study
Introduction
Proterra Energy was employed to carry out the feasibility for a micro hydro scheme on a site in rural Angus.
Would 30kW hydro power work?
The site posed several challenges around the construction of the intake and in the laying of the penstock at Angus Farm. However, through careful planning and design a viable hydro scheme of 30kW was proposed.
Installation went ahead in 2018 and the scheme is now operational with all maintenance and monitoring being carried out by Proterra Energy.
