Hidrotem is an innovative micro-hydropower system developed by the Turkish state-owned engineering company TEMSAN. Designed for integration into existing pressurized water infrastructure—such as potable water networks, irrigation pipelines, and industrial systems—Hidrotem harnesses the kinetic energy of flowing water to generate electricity without disrupting water distribution. This compact and modular system offers a sustainable alternative to conventional pressure-reducing valves, which typically waste energy by dissipating excess pressure as heat.
By converting otherwise wasted hydraulic pressure into usable electrical energy, Hidrotem significantly improves overall energy efficiency and reduces operational costs for utilities and facilities. Its plug-and-play design allows for easy installation and minimal maintenance, making it an accessible solution for both urban and rural settings.
Hidrotem contributes directly to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly:
SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy): by providing a renewable and decentralized energy source that lowers dependence on fossil fuels.
SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure): by promoting resilient and sustainable infrastructure, and encouraging the adoption of clean technologies in public utilities.
In essence, Hidrotem bridges the gap between water infrastructure and energy innovation, offering an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution to enhance sustainability in urban planning and industrial operations.
