Ultimate Project Size: ______
Power Use: ______
(grid connect, stand alone, supplement existing power)
Resource
Resource Type: ______
(Uncontrolled River, Controlled River, Canal, Industrial Outflow, Tidal)
Water Composition:______
(freshwater, saltwater, clean, silt laden, effluent (specify))
Channel Profile:Minimum depth: ______
Maximum depth: ______
Width available for install: ______
Flow Profile:Maximum flow velocity: ______
Minimum flow velocity: ______
Average velocity over interval: ______
Note: In order to properly assess the power generation potential of a site, a full resource assessment is generally required. This includes detailed cross sectional flow measurements of the site, extrapolation to the full range of flows encountered, and modeling the energy extraction capabilities of the site. The above is only used to verify the suitability of the site for hydrokinetic power generation, and as a first level estimation of the potential.
