Progress with the Welsh Dŵr Uisce hydro demo site

Good progress has been made during February at the Dŵr Uisce hydro demo site in Wales, powered by a low-cost 4 kW Pump As Turbine (PAT). The turbine has been chosen among thousands of off-the-shelf available pumps according to the site specifications thanks to the selection software developed by the team.
