Sorensen Systems was originally founded over 30 years ago as the engineering and system design entity of The Hope Group following its acquisition of the Sorensen Governor brand in 1985. Today, Sorensen Systems operates as an engineering and fabrication house specializing in motion-control systems for the hydropower generation, water and waste water industries. Its staff of design engineers, technicians and project managers operates from its 60,000 square foot office and manufacturing location in Northborough, Massachusetts.

Hydraulic Solutions and Projects
Sorensen Systems specializes in electro-hydraulic solutions for micro and small hydro installations as well as water and wastewater treatment packages.
Micro & Small Hydro Rehabilitation
We develop hydraulic and electrical control systems for small and micro hydro rehabilitation projects. Our specialties are electro-hydraulic governors, gate-operating systems, and hydraulic lubrication and bearing cooling units.
Valve and Gate Actuation & Control
Sorensen Systems develops the hydraulic and electrical control systems for hydraulically actuated valves and gates found in waterways, tunnels and dams. We take pride in crafting systems that ensure the efficient and reliable operation of vital infrastructure. Our hydraulic solutions meet the most demanding of requirements.
Conduit Energy Recovery
Conduit energy recovery is of paramount importance in the world of hydropower and renewable energy generation. This innovative technology allows us to harness and maximize the potential of flowing water within conduits and pipelines. By recapturing and converting excess energy that would otherwise go untapped. This process not only generates additional power but also reduces environmental impact by ensuring that the energy potential of water is fully realized. In an era where sustainable energy sources are critical, conduit energy recovery plays a pivotal role in meeting our energy needs while minimizing our carbon footprint.
Due to the importance of conduit energy recovery, it’s important to select a manufacture and design team that can deliver quality components. Sorensen Systems develops and install specialized turbines as replacements for pressure reducing valves, most often in an attempt to retrofit existing system components. It’s common to find conduit energy recovery used in hydro rehabilitation projects.
