Small Hydropower Plants
Small Hydropower Plants (SHPs) use water as a stable and reliable renewable energy source that is predictable, available at night or in bad weather, and has low investment costs compared to wind and solar power plants. Properly designed SHPPs contribute to grid stability, do not take up agricultural land, minimize transmission losses, and can serve as a tourist attraction, thus promoting municipal energy and sustainability.
The control unit MVE CONTROL 400 works on the principle of two inverters – one regulates the speed of the water motor or turbine and the other supplies the energy obtained to the power grid by means of a controlled regenerative converter.
It is designed for Small Hydropower Plants with variable power and water velocity, such as vertical and horizontal water wheels or turbines in gravity drinking water systems.

Characteristics and advantages of small hydropower plants
Stable and predictable performance
The water output varies gradually, allowing accurate prediction and stability of power generation.
Weather-independent operation
The water also flows at night, under clouds or in windless conditions, ensuring continuous power generation.
Lower investment costs
Compared to wind and solar power plants, the investment costs of SHP are significantly lower.
Ecological and aesthetic value
Properly designed SHPPs do not endanger fish or boaters and can be an attractive part of the landscape, for example in the form of a waterwheel resembling a watermill.
Minimal impact on soil
SHPPs do not occupy agricultural land and thus do not affect the productive capacity of the area.
Proximity to the consumer
Locating the SHPP close to the consumer ensures minimal transmission losses and high efficiency of energy supply.
Support for municipal energy
SHPPs can make a significant contribution to local energy and energy self-sufficiency of communities, especially in mountainous areas.
Harnessing the gravitational potential of water
Water utilities can efficiently harness the gravity potential of drinking water for energy production, thereby increasing the sustainability of their systems.
