Vortex Group offers complete HydroPower systems design, manufacturing and installation. If you can pipe the water from source higher than where you can install a generator, then you have the potential to generate electricity with a hydropower system. Vortex Hydro can help you assess that potential. The electricity generated can be used

On average, hydroelectricity currently provides 57% of New Zealand''s electricity needs each year. Hydro production is variable because of varying amount of rainfall. Hydroelectricity systems are very long-lived, and we expect that hydro generation will continue to provide the backbone of New Zealand''s electricity system.

Power plants in New Zealand have different generating roles – for baseload, intermediate or peaking. Baseload generators are those that run continuously (except for maintenance), and include all geothermal and run-of-the-river hydroelectric plants, which must ''use it or lose it''. Intermediate generators are load-following power

Hydroelectric power accounts for 11% of the total primary energy usage in New Zealand with imported oil and oil products making up 70% of the primary energy. Hydroelectric power accounts for 57% of the total electricity generation in New Zealand. Over the decade from 1997 hydroelectric power as a percentage of total net electricity generated went from 66% down to 55%. An increase in coal and gas for electricity generation accounted fo
Expert small hydro turbine manufacturers working in New Zealand and throughout the Pacific. HydroPower for electricity generation has enormous potential for providing sustainable, clean, emission-free energy.
Auckland''s Andrew Berry has just installed a Watt & Sea POD 600 Hydrogenerator on his 13.5m Elliot pilothouse yacht, Mariana. It''s the first of the units to be fitted in New Zealand. Supplied by Kiwi Yachting,
We harness the power of water through our nine hydro plants along the Waikato River to produce about 10% of New Zealand''s electricity. The great thing about hydro
Hydroelectricity systems use the force of running water to turn turbine blades, which spin a shaft connected to a generator. On rural sites they can be set up wherever water falls from a higher lever to a lower level, for example a waterfall, hillside, stream, or where a reservoir discharges into a river. The type of turbine you need depends on

The impact of our climate on hydro generation. Over 50% of New Zealand''s electricity is produced by hydro power. New Zealand''s largest hydro schemes, the Waitaki and Manapōuri, are in the South Island. While there are hydro dams in the North Island, these schemes have a smaller capacity. Since the North Island has higher
April 28, 2024. (Bloomberg, 2016) Currently, over 50% of New Zealand''s power comes from hydroelectricity. They are #2 in the world in hydropower only behind Norway. NZ has two types of hydroelectric power plants, storage-based and run-of river systems. Storage-based systems are supplied by large lakes and can be stopped whenever necessary.
2 · Microhydropower can be one of the most simple and consistent forms or renewable energy on your property. If you have water flowing through your property, you might consider building a small hydropower system to generate electricity. Microhydropower systems usually generate up to 100 kilowatts of electricity. Most of the

Few houses have micro-hydro as an option – typically, only those on or near hills that have access to a stream that never dries up. However, because micro hydro works 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and can potentially provide all the power a house needs, these systems may be a better option than wind or photovoltaic generation.
