As specialists of hydroelectric field we acknowledge:• No Manufacturer in the world offers a Turbine fitted for heads of less than 2 m.•The most profitable sites are already built in developed countries. • The remaining potential is located below 2 m gross head.• Same comments are valid worldwide

HYDRO TURBINE GENERATING SETFOR VERY LOW HEAD
• Harnessing very small heads requires very high flows which must be treated in infrastructures of considerable size.• Manufacturers have always given priority to reduction of equipment size and costs, forgetting civil works.• Civil work costs becomes dissuasive regarding the installed output and the related expected turn over of the plant.
Harnessing very low heads is technically feasible but unprofitable with the available technologies.

The VLH fulfils all but one criteria of Fish friendliness
CFD calculations shows fulfilment of all but one criteria of fish friendliness
n°1: Peripheral speednessAcceptable: 6 to 12 m/s VLH: 4.5 à 8 m/sn°2 : Minimum pressureAcceptable : 69 kPa VLH: 94 kPan°3: Maximum pressure variationAcceptable: <550 kPa/s VLH: 80 kPa/sn°4: Max flow speedness variationAcceptable: <180 m/s/m VLH: 10 m/s/mn°5: Blade to discharge ring gapAcceptable: <2.0 mm Valeur VLH: 4.5 mm(This criteria is not fulfilled but the very low average flow speed < 2 m/s is assumed to allow fishes to avoid periphery of the runner)
The “Conseil Supérieur de la Pêche” has accepted these conclusions for our demo site
