new small hydro technology catalog
What: An online technology catalog for small hydro developers, technology providers and owners. A place to find suppliers, available tools, equipment, and existing projects.
Who: The hydro industry! The more data that is populated in the catalog, the better resource it becomes for the industry.
Where: CLICK HERE
When: Now! The Foundation has populated and verified valuable data and has created this online space for developers, owners, financiers, stakeholders, and manufacturers.
Why? The Hydro Research Foundation was tasked by Oak Ridge National Lab to develop the catalog and is working work with Colorado State University.
Want to add to it? CLICK HERE to enter technology catalog and submit your company’s information, your plant, a case study, or any other valuable information to connect your organization or project to other industry members.
Overview: The Technology Catalog was created in coordination with two other tasks of the New Hydro Innovation Collaborative (NHIC). The goal of the technology catalog is to compile relevant information for developers, owners, financiers, regulators, purchasers and stakeholders to access information on technology related to new hydropower. The outcome will be a web portal where users enter through the Hydro Research Foundation’s website www.hydrofoundation.org. Colorado State University is working with the Foundation to develop the technology portal.
Specifics:
As users enter the technology portal through the Hydro Research Foundation’s website they will have two entry options, one for developers/owners and one for technology providers.
Within the developer/owner section, data will be available on existing projects. This is an opportunity for users to filter search criteria related to the following attributes:
· Project Characteristics – (i.e. head and size)
· Type of Project- (i.e.-drop structure, open channel, pressurized pipeline, etc.)
· Technology & Equipment utilized- (i.e. turbine, generator, fish screen, gates, etc.)
· Studies and Practices- (i.e.-water quality, fish passage, environmental flows, etc.)
Within the technology provider section, information will be available on technology solutions, with filterable searches based on project characteristics, types of equipment, with information on providers including links to their website and contact information. An additional feature of this portion is that providers will have the opportunity to reference a project using the plant identification information from the National Hydropower Asset Assessment Program (NHAAP) to link to additional information. This section will include the following technology:
· Technology & Equipment- (i.e. generators, kit plants, controls, and other advanced technology solutions)
· Engineering Technologies- (i.e. plant design, value engineering, hydrology etc.).
· Construction- (i.e. skid delivered, mechanical, electrical, etc.)
Anticipated Outcomes:
The technology catalog will be a resource for users to access information to more high-value (low-cost or low-maintenance) technology. The data is compiled in a way to easily access innovative practices, reference existing and new hydro projects, and classify data in a way that is useful in filtering for the applicable information for the user.
The Foundation hopes that a future stage of the project will expand the provider section to include other consulting and service providers.
