Scalable Low-head Axial-type Venturi-flow Energy Scavenger

Location(s): New Mexico

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to research design and develop a low-head/low-flow hydropower technology that would meet DOE Water power Program goals for a low cost, highly efficient and modular turbine-generator system which would be easy to manufacture, assemble and deploy. To reach these objectives, NMSU is proposing to perform in-depth studies of the turbine dynamics of a venturi-based design for an axial-flow hydropower generating system, and then fabricate two hydropower harvester prototypes for testing and validation.
