Hydrokinetic Testing
![Page 29: Bureau of Reclamation Small Hydropower and Hydrokinetic ... · PDF fileBureau of Reclamation Small Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Development and Research Success Stories Small Hydro](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051721/5a7912ef7f8b9a00168ceb91/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hydrokinetics
– Hydrokinetic projects generate power from the flow of
rivers, canals, ocean currents or waves.
– Many new hydrokinetic technologies and vendors for
river and canal deployment
– Opportunity to demonstrate viability and determine
impacts
![Page 30: Bureau of Reclamation Small Hydropower and Hydrokinetic ... · PDF fileBureau of Reclamation Small Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Development and Research Success Stories Small Hydro](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051721/5a7912ef7f8b9a00168ceb91/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Hydrokinetics
– Hydrokinetic Technology Testing at Roza Canal
• Working with technology developers, R&D and DOE
• Evaluate impacts to canal operations
• Evaluate operating characteristics of the technology
![Page 31: Bureau of Reclamation Small Hydropower and Hydrokinetic ... · PDF fileBureau of Reclamation Small Hydropower and Hydrokinetic Development and Research Success Stories Small Hydro](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051721/5a7912ef7f8b9a00168ceb91/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Background – Hydrokinetics
• Hydraulic impacts to canals are unknown
– Irregular water surface (flow measurement structures,
diversions, deliveries)
– Free-board limitations
– Increased pumping costs
– Decreased hydropower
production

Research Objectives
• Roza Main Canal near Yakima, WA (2013 – 2015)
– Manufacturer: Characterize performance
– Sandia National Laboratories: Characterize near field
hydraulics
– Reclamation (Yakima Field Office & Hydraulics Group):
Quantify operational impacts
32
• Overall Team
Objective: Develop a
predictive modeling
tool to determine where
and how hydrokinetics
can be used.

Roza Main Canal
• Located near Yakima, WA
• Supply for Roza Irrigation District
(72,000 acres)
• 11 miles from diversion to power

Shakedown Monitoring & Test Plan -
2013 • Monitoring
– Water Surface Elevation at key locations
• Measure changes with hydrokinetic in flow
• Calibrate numerical model of canal system
– Canal Flow
• Hydrokinetic vs. Baseline Testing
– Water Surface Elevation up and downstream of
Hydrokinetic unit
– Velocity up and downstream of Hydrokinetic unit
– Canal Flow
– Power plant efficiency testing

Lessons Learned & Future Work
• Lessons Learned
– Velocity: Larger boat and more efficient tagline system
– Water Surface: Hobos worked well; need to secure
logger within angle; consistent sampling interval
– Power Plant: no impact - performance testing not
necessary; will monitor throughout 2014 test season
• Future Work (through 2015)
– Test 1 unit at multiple load settings and canal flow.
– Test additional HK units in series
– Refine numerical model to use as a predictive tool
