Overview
Novel technologies continue to be developed for the modernization of hydropower. These technologies vary significantly in terms of form, fit, and function. The goal of the technology database is to create an interface that helps users determine a technology’s use as well as understand requirements for implementation on an existing system or complementary components or structures required for new developments. The database informs users of specific elements that a technology includes, as well as what it does not include. This allows users to understand site specific considerations that will be necessary compliments to the selected technology.
