introduction
Hydrokinetic Energy Corp. (HEC) is a developer of hydrokinetic turbines for the production of electrical energy.
Based in Key West Florida, HEC embarked on a program to design, develop, analyze, optimize and build the most efficient marine electrical energy generation device.
HEC'S primary objective is to produce Green Hydrogen & Green Oxygen from electric power harvested from the most reliable & predictable and renewable energy source - the Gulfstream.
To reach Net 0 emissions by 2050 it is a necessity to switch to green hydrogen fuel for all forms for transportation, cars, long distance trucks and aviation.
Liquid oxygen is the main ingredient in rocket fuel. When produced sustainably it dramatically reduces the carbon footprint of space exploration.
The HEC fuel generation solution will contribute substantially to reduce CO2 emissions.
Additionally, flexible size output capabilities allow site specific designs/installations enable larger scale deployments to feed into the electrical grid.
Our turbines are designed not to harm any sea life and have almost zero environmental impact.
HARNESSING THE CONTINUOUS, SUSTAINABLE POWER OF THE WORLD'S OCEAN CURRENTS
technology
TECHNICAL INOVATION
Our very low maintenance permanent magnet alternator turbine has a unique Venturi/Bernoulli flow acceleration system, no shaft or gears, a wildlife and debris excluder, an easy way out for small marine life.
INSTALLATIONS
This turbine design can be installed on a floating structure or can be piling-mounted and pivoting with a very small footprint on the ocean floor or can be mounted on a bridge or seawall.
OUTPUT CAPABILITIES
Thanks to our innovative design, we are able to develop adaptive size and output capabilities for site specific requirements. This turbine design can be optimized for units from 15 kW to 5 MW.
APLICATIONS
Installations can either be grid connected, or off-grid linked to a storage and inverter system. Grid connected systems will contribute to regional grid stabilization and help meet peak power demand. Off-grid system can provide continuous power, in remote areas.
DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY
HEC has a design, development and testing laboratory using the latest cutting-edge software in development. Our turbines are created by 3D computer modeling, then analyzed with state-of-the-art CFD (computational fluid dynamics) software and AI optimized in the virtual space.
TESTING
HEC and the College of the Florida Keys Community (CFK) collaborate for ocean testing, utilizing their Renewable Energy Test Vessel (RETV) test vessel for ocean testing of prototypes. We work closely with students (e.g. internships, etc.) from the College.
FABRICATION
HEC turbines are fabricated on large format 3D printers and ocean tested in the relevant environment. All real-life data e.g. RPM, electrical output, flow speeds and characteristics are meticulously logged and recorded for comparison to the computational data.
our TURBINES WILL REDUCe CO2 LEVELS, COUNTERACT climate change
environmental
Environmental aspects of our devices are just as important as producing sustainable energy. To assure that no fish or wildlife is harmed by our turbines, we developed a unique Wildlife and Debris Excluder (WDE). This device prevents larger sea life form entering the rotor section. Smaller sea life can swim unharmed through the open center of the rotor and exit unharmed.
The impact of our turbines on the ocean floor is practically zero, because the installations are either anchored to the seabed like a vessel or mounted on a single piling driven into the substrate. This results in a very small footprint which has practically no effect on the environment.
Another important factor is that Hydrokinetic Turbine Arrays are, quiet, and do not take up valuable real estate.
AS LONG AS THE EARTH ROTATES AND THE MOON ORBITS THE EARTH, THERE WILL BE OCEAN CURRENTS AND TIDES
renewable
Ocean currents, tidal currents and run of the river currents are by far the most reliable source of renewable energy on our planet. They are predictable like clockwork. As long as the earth rotates to create a Coriolis Effect and the moon orbits the earth there will be ocean currents and tides, day and night regardless of the weather.
The constant motion in the world's oceans is called the global ocean conveyor belt, a combination of thermohaline currents in the deep ocean and wind-driven currents on the surface. The volume of water transported by the global conveyor belt is equal to 100 Amazon Rivers or 16 times the flow of all the world's rivers combined.
Water is more than 800 times denser than air. Consequently, ocean currents contain an enormous amount of kinetic energy that can be captured and converted to a usable form of energy.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS PRODUCING clean ENERGY
