Turbulent Hydro – Vortex Energy Systems for an Ecological School (Indonesia)

This case study describes the installation of a 15 kWp vortex hydropower system by Turbulent at the Green School in Bali, Indonesia, to replace an unstable national grid and provide reliable, clean energy for students and the surrounding community.

• Turbulent installed a 15 kWp vortex hydropower system at the Green School in Bali to provide a reliable alternative to the unstable national grid, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when remote classes required consistent electricity.
• The project resulted in 62 tonnes of CO2e emissions avoided and a 60-80% reduction in electricity costs, which was achieved by improving grid quality and reliability.
• The system provides electricity for a school with 500 students and four houses, producing more energy than the school consumes, allowing the surplus to be shared with the local community.
