Our Story

Cadens brings together people who are passionate about the common goal of clean, hydro power generation.

Cadens is currently testing full scale 3D printed composite turbine systems at our ultra-low head AM test bed in southeast WI. Design-to-AM production parts and tooling are clearly the enabler for the radical reduction in costs to build micro-to-small hydropower systems. With Cadens expected trajectory, the impact will be significant for the hydropower industry by addressing both ends of the LCOE: reducing the high CAPEX of small hydro systems and increasing annual energy production.

Utility-scale solar is an intermittent source of low-cost, clean renewable energy being rapidly deployed across the U.S. and off-shore wind will soon produce 12-15 MW of power per turbine. Combined with on-demand and base-load small hydro and geothermal sources, a low-carbon, environmental and economical distributed energy resources future is in sight.
