Dragonfly II Tests on the Scheldt
Few miles upstream of Antwerp in the river Scheldt our Dragonfly II was tested by Pro-tide: “Beyond expectations” Out of a short list of 20 hydro turbines, Water2Energy and 2 others (one Belgian and one American type) were selected to be tested. Water2Energy outperformed the other types, in terms of reliability as well as power performance.
