Valves Online Supporting Green Energy

At Valves Online, we’re passionate about supporting green energy initiatives and making a real difference in creating a sustainable future.

For over a decade, we’ve worked closely with leading UK green energy manufacturers, especially in hydro power, providing reliable, tailored valve solutions that help harness the natural energy of rivers, lakes, and streams. 

Our team is dedicated to innovation, designing custom turbine systems with smart components like electric actuated butterfly valves and direct drive generators to boost efficiency while keeping things compact.

We’re proud to be part of the journey toward cleaner, renewable energy, and we’re here to help bring your green projects to life.

Local Projects

 We have been involved with one of the leading Hydro turbine installers/providers in the UK and worked closely with this company for over 10 years, supplying industrial control valves for their green energy projects. These projects have evolved over the years and now harness the power of rivers, lakes and streams into efficient and cost-effective green generated power.

This project required some of our Electric Actuated Butterfly Valves, Gate Valves, Solenoids and Gauges combined with their multipole induction generators that have a direct drive solution, this is unique and has no compromise in the design, and makes the overall build much smaller but will achieve the same type of efficiency expected from a much larger turbine.

How It Works

A hydraulic turbine converts the energy of flowing water into mechanical energy. A hydroelectric generator converts this mechanical energy into electricity.

In this instance water is used to turn a propeller-like piece called a turbine, which then turns a metal shaft in an electric generator, which is the motor that produces electricity.
