generador fluvial


Explanation:
It's a particular type of 'central hidroeléctrica' which is powered by the flow of water along the river and does not have a millstream, dam or spillways.

Not very sure about the Spanish terminology, tho'

centrales hidroeléctricas sin embalse


Explanation:
Parte del torrente se entuba y se descarga a la distancia en una turbina. En ningún momento se embalsa el agua ni se altera el curso natural. Debe haber un gradiente favorable de altura para aprovechar la energía cinética y la potencial.
