Neli Microturbines develops high-efficiency, oil-free microturbines designed for decentralized power generation and industrial energy recovery. The systems utilize advanced air-bearing technology and high-speed permanent magnet generators to convert various fuels or waste heat into electricity. By eliminating the need for oil lubrication and complex cooling systems, the turbines achieve high mechanical reliability with significantly reduced maintenance requirements. The technology is engineered to be fuel-flexible, supporting natural gas, biogas, and hydrogen blends.
These microturbines enable the deployment of modular power plants for microgrids, remote industrial sites, and combined heat and power (CHP) applications. The compact design allows for the capture of thermal energy from industrial processes that would otherwise be lost, increasing overall system efficiency and reducing carbon footprints. This modular architecture supports scalability, allowing operators to integrate multiple units to meet specific load demands. By providing on-site power generation, the technology offers a resilient and cost-effective alternative to traditional centralized energy infrastructure
