ADVANCED MICROTURBINES SRL

Advanced Microturbines Srl was founded in 2013 in Genoa, Italy and is focused on the design and production of microturbines for energy harvesting coupled to smart IoT solutions. 

Microturbines range from 30 W to 50 kW and can be installed on existing infrastructures or power plants with minor modifications and minimal maintenance.

Our microturbines take advantage of existing pressure gas/water drops and flow in the system to generate electricity used to power IoT ancillary equipment for the maintenance, monitoring and operation of pipelines. 

The core of the technology is a novel patented, highly miniaturized microturbine, designed to be introduced into the gas distribution pipelines, taking advantage of any existing pressure drop in the system to generate electricity in off-grid contexts (e.g. in remote areas). It harvests the available energy for free, with no emissions or burning of fuel. 

The Microturbine together with a smart IoT technology for real-time monitoring and control developed in the project, allows a more energetically efficient management of pipelines with increased reliability, and reduces operational costs. 

Our patented technology won the Italian National Prize for Innovation, Cleantech category, was awarded by the European Union and obtained the Solar Impulse Efficient Solution Label, and have been installed on the main Italian gas and water utility companies in Italy and other European countries.
