Short Intro
Project DefinitionSurvey of the micro-hydro technology
and resources.
Design an oscillating hydro-foil energy conversion system for hydrokinetic electric power generation in river and tidal.
Background-Nation WideClimate change calls for renewable energyIn 2009, U.S. hydrokinetic Power ≤ 1 MKW, hydropower > 77,000 MKWAs of 2009, the FERC issued 146 applications to study 9,000 MKW
Prediction: Hydrokinetic Energy could provide 13,000 MKW to the U.S. by 2025
EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2010
Quadrillion Btu
