Good to see hydro getting some love....New hydroelectric plant, first of its kind, to generate power in Kentucky
A new hydroelectric plant has been completed along the Kentucky River in Estill County and it’s the first in the nation using a new technology.www.wkyt.com
This technology is news to me.
Something else I need to read more on..... they may be using a variable-vane approach, to reduce or eliminate the need for major water diversions @ high flow conditions.....
Gravity+Water.....I like Simple, being a simple guy..... traditional turbines need service eventually; will be interesting to see how the new designs compare, service-wise.
