Ideal Site
- Continuous flow
- Documented pressure and flow
- Known pressure reduction or elevation
- Installation space
- Safe bypass
Controlled technical evaluation
Pilot Projects
A credible pilot should establish net operational and economic results—not merely gross output.
Screening
Review site data.
Assessment
Identify recoverable energy.
Technical Review
Evaluate pressure loss and safety.
Pilot Installation
Measure generation and system effects.
Performance Review
Document net results.
Organizational Readiness
- Engineering staff
- Permission to collect data
- Operational coordination
- Interest in energy efficiency
Pilot Measurement Plan
Hydraulic
Flow, pressure and head.
Electrical
Gross, auxiliary and net output.
Operational
Downtime and maintenance.
Economic
Avoided energy value and project cost.
