Chantel is the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Energyminer, leveraging her background in water engineering, specifically in hydropower development. Her expertise includes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling, a skill honed during her Ph.D. studies focused on the analysis of wakes generated by Hydrokinetic turbines. Currently, she is engaged in developing a novel hydrokinetic device tailored for river systems in Germany, aiming to optimize energy harnessing in a sustainable manner.
Generating power from flowing water is nothing new, but Energyminer is looking to do it more locally to areas of energy demand, without dams or weirs to impact on nature.
Hear from Energyminer CTO, Dr. Chantel Niebuhr, about how CAD and simulation technology enables the company to test its Energyfish power plants in a fraction of the time that it might otherwise take.
