"RivGen Power System for generation of hydro-energy from no or low head"

(Image Courtesy @ Myself).Original Pic of prototype can be found at energy.gov.

A portable power generation system which can use the flow of stream or river to produce power was implemented to supply energy to the riverside villages.This device is known as RivGen Power System and it can generate 40kW of power.This device was identified in a contest organized by DOE and the fund won from the award was utilized to develop the product for real life use. More details can be found from energy.gov.

Condition Monitoring of Penstock by a GIS based monitoring system

A new research idea was proposed where special condition monitoring system can be developed with the help of Geographic Information System(GIS) based attribute tables, selection of vital parameters, identification of their significance, development of the indicator with these parameters and encoding the same in the attribute table in the GIS Map. Once the data connection between the field to software is established real time monitoring of the pen-stock condition will become a possibility.Although economic feasibility with respect to the monitoring system will be one of the criteria for sustenance of such systems.
