NEW DELHI, NOV 27, 2024: CENTRAL Electricity Authority (CEA) has recognized Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine (SHKT) technology under the Hydro Category to drive innovations and explore alternate technologies to achieve net zero emission targets and ensure sustainable development of power sector for the nation,

SHKT, uses kinetic energy of flowing water with practically zero potential head for generation of electrical energy unlike conventional units, which utilize potential energy of water through construction of suitable civil structures such as dam, diversion weir and barrages for creation of necessary 'Head'.

This technology is a solution that may support the power sector in meeting the growing demand for base-load, round-the-clock renewable energy, especially in areas with poor grid accessibility. Surface Hydrokinetic turbines are easy to install and cost-effective, with generation cost of Rs.2-3 per unit. This technology provides win-win situation both for renewable energy buyers and generators.

Adoption of SHKT technology shall mark a significant milestone in leveraging India's extensive water infrastructure, including canals, hydropower tailrace channels, etc. for sustainable energy generation. This technology has huge potential in GW scale with lot of opportunities to harness renewable energy, leading to overall growth of power sector.
