PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT THROUGHOUT THE BIG CHUTE HYDROELECTRIC REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT

MICRO-HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT PHASE III Design Team

Phase III development of a micro-hydroelectric power generating system is focused on enhancing the system designed by Phases I and II. The previous phases focused on the use of the Gorlov Helical Turbine (GHT) to derive power from a fresh water environment, specifically the Stevens River in Vermont. Phase III exclusively focused on deriving power from an ocean environment and the construction o...
