ADVANTAGES OF THE HYDROQUEST RIVER SOLUTION

Hydropower from the kinetic energy of

water, does not require fall

Predictable, regular and economic

energy

Fast deployment and installation, within

few months. No civil engineering

required.

Reliability and robustness of the

system, especially against debris, through

the manufacturing process and proven

materials : lifetime over 25 years

Modularity allows adjusting of the number of levels and the number of hydrokinetic turbines to the

depths of sites

Operating and maintenance is simple, by raising the hydrokinetic turbine in the dry and with built-in

monitoring system

Extremely low environmental impact

First hydrokinetic turbine to supply a

village in French Guiana, 10kW

the French gridOrléans, 40kW

RIVER TURBINES

Compared to other renewable energies, such as photovoltaic and wind power, hydrokinetic turbines

have several specific advantages:

The best resource availability: energy is predictable and almost permanent.

Storage requirements for energy limited compared to solar or wind power.

The compact size of the turbines.

Environmental impact almost zero: unlike fossil fuels, the photovoltaic (energy storage and

recycling at end of life) and even conventional hydraulic (impact of civil engineering,

methanisation)

Possibility of decentralized production closer to energy needs.

Easy recycling: the Hydroquest turbines through their design, have a long lifetime (> 25 years)

and are easily recyclable, they are mainly made of construction steel and contain no composite

materials

ADVANTAGES OF THE HYDROQUEST RIVER COMPARED TO OTHER RENEWABLE ENERGIES

Based on a study by the American firm Pike Research and our own appraisal, we estimate

a global potential for HydroQuest type turbines, between 3 and 10 GW (15 billion € in sales over a 10 to 15 years period).

Only a third of global hydropower potential is used. Use of hydro potential by continents:

South America: 30%

Asia: 22%

Africa: 7%

HYDROKINETIC RIVER TURBINES MARKET POTENTIAL

POSITIONING ON RIVER MARKET

• Our real competition in isolated or poorly connected sites is the production by

diesel generators

• On many potential hydrokinetic turbine farm sites we will be more competitive

in price and more environmentally friendly

River Market

Power range: 40 kW to 5 MW

Flow speed > 1,5 m/s

MWh cost between

50 and 200 €/MWh

An ongoing partnership with Constructions Mécaniques de Normandie (CMN), a

leading European shipyards, located in Cherbourg, France, will enable the

development of tidal marine farms around the world.

The Hydroquest technology is particularly relevant for marine applications
