Abstract

Mississippi River Characterization Study Approach

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) TC 114 PT 62600- 301 Marine Energy - Wave, tidal and other water current converters - Part 301: River energy resource assessment and characterization.
Annual energy production calculated using modeling and long term historical data (>=10 years).

Site Selection Process:

Screened NHDPlus river segments for minimum velocities
Developed Visual Basic Code to generate NWIS stream gage statistics
Screened stream gage statistics for minimum depth, velocity, field measurements and other river characteristics
Selected areas with favorable NWIS and NHDPlus values
Outreach to USGS and Army Corps staff for further site validation

Mississippi River Characterization for Current Energy Converter (CEC) Systems is located in Mississippi, United States of America.
