Distributed hydrokinetics

Energy from water that’s already moving.

Miromar is developing modular hydrokinetic technology for canals and managed water systems — adding renewable generation without changing what the asset is there to do.

The opportunity

A power resource hidden in plain sight.

Canals, conveyance systems and industrial waterways manage vast, continuous flows every day. Where conditions align, part of that kinetic resource can support local electricity generation.

The platform

One platform. Three design commitments.

The architecture is shaped by how water infrastructure is operated — not only by how energy is converted.

01

Modular

Configure capacity with repeatable units rather than one monolithic machine.

02

Distributed

Place generation across several viable locations instead of one central asset.

03

Infrastructure-integrated

Work within the hydraulic, structural, access and maintenance constraints of the host site.

A different approach

A complement to conventional hydropower.

Where large civil works are impractical or unnecessary, modular hydrokinetics could unlock smaller opportunities across a wider network of sites.

Modular by design

Growth without a bigger machine.

A unit proves the building block. Arrays, sites and portfolios turn repetition into capacity.

Deployment

Different sites. Different ways to deploy.

Ownership, financing and partnership can adapt to the operator, the asset and the size of the opportunity.

The ambition is a repeatable technology and delivery model that can scale across geographies without asking every project to start from zero.

FAQ

The practical questions.

Miromar is developing modular hydrokinetic technology designed to recover renewable energy from suitable existing water infrastructure.

Miromar uses a proprietary energy-conversion architecture to transform energy from flowing water into electrical generation. Detailed technical information remains confidential while the company’s intellectual property is being developed and protected.

The system is being developed for hydrokinetic generation without requiring a conventional hydroelectric dam or reservoir.

Potential applications include engineered canals, water-conveyance systems, industrial water infrastructure and selected managed waterways. Individual sites must be assessed according to hydraulic, structural, environmental and operational conditions.

Site suitability depends on flow characteristics, available infrastructure and operating constraints. Miromar evaluates these factors on a site-specific basis.

Miromar is progressing through experimental validation and integrated system development.

Miromar is currently developing and protecting proprietary intellectual property. Detailed technical information is therefore shared selectively where appropriate.

Yes. Miromar is interested in working with infrastructure owners and operators managing suitable flowing-water systems.
