Greetings a 50kW paddle wheel is very large. There are several styles of water current turbines on the market now. I have included some below. http://www.mos.org/cst/article/2806/ http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/throptonenergy/homepage.htm http://www.marlec.co.uk/products/prods/amozon.htm http://www.althydrosolutions.com/ there are others.....i would suggest perhaps a different search engine and different keywords I think it will take a network of these turbines to produce 50kW. On the last item there is a network option on the products page. As a fellow canuck, i wish you all the best.... cheers, steve
