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.
