IoT Microturbine
A smart grid management device harvesting the energy from gas pipelines pressure
Label Date

From
Italy
Maturity stage
TRL 9 / CRI 3-4 - Commercial Scale Up / Multiple commercial Applications
The plug & play microturbine takes advantage of existing pressure drops and gas flow in the system to generate electricity used to power ancillary equipment for the maintenance, monitoring and operation of the networked pipeline systems. The energy harvesting device is self-protected against surcharge and over speeding and capable to perform auto diagnosis and communicate with other devices. The energy captured by the microturbine and converted into electric energy, is directly available in situ for monitoring devices. IoT Microturbine offers off grid real time monitoring and control solutions with a high reliability over time and across operating conditions while enabling the pipeline to work at low pressure, reducing the greenhouse effect through reduction of gas leakages as well as the CO2 emissions that would result from an equivalent grid connection in a remote location.
The Environmental Benefits
- •Reduction of CO2 by 0.5 tons per year
- •Zero carbon emmission
- •Leakage reduction and pipeline life extension
The Financial Benefits
- •Payback estimated in 1 year

Company Profile
Advanced Microturbines
Our patented coin-sized Microturbines for energy harvesting in gas and water distribution pipelines take advantage of existing pressure drops to generate electricity in off-grid contexts. They are developed in two sizes, 30 W and 150 W. The Microturbines enable the reliable power supply of smart IoT monitoring and control technologies, resulting in a more energetically efficient management of the pipelines with increased reliability and with reduced operational costs.
