Canyon Hydro Residential Power Projects

For 28 years, Canyon Hydro has manufactured hydro systems for both residential and commercial projects.  Canyon's Residential systems typically produce up to about 100kW, and we provide a broad range of turbine systems to match your specific Head and Flow. 

Custom design and manufacturing are available for larger Commercial Projects.

Here are a few of the Canyon Hydro Residential projects currently producing power around the world.

This dual-nozzle Canyon 1051-2 Pelton turbine powers a 14KW synchronous generator in Costa Rica.  A variable needle nozzle makes it possible to adjust for changes in stream Flow without shutting down the turbine.  The turbine intake was custom designed to fit in an existing powerhouse.

This 9513 single nozzle turbine is used in a grid-parallel configuration with a utility in Washington State, and produces 11KW under 165 feet of head.  It was fitted with a custom deflector actuator to allow automatic restart after utility outages.  The manually adjusted needle nozzle allows the turbine to operate efficiently with varying flow rates.
