Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine (SHKT) Technology
The Surface Hydrokinetic Turbine (SHKT) technology, endorsed by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), generates renewable energy by harnessing the kinetic energy of flowing water. SHKT operates efficiently in low-flow conditions without requiring large dams, offering a cost-effective solution with generation costs of ₹2-3 per unit. The technology integrates with existing water infrastructure like canals and hydropower tailrace channels, addressing rising renewable energy demands and advancing rural electrification. It supports India’s net-zero goals and sustainable development by providing scalable and innovative solutions for the power sector.
