The Leading Edge

摘要

The city of Hastings, Minn., is proceeding with adding two 35-kW hydrokinetic units at the 4.4-MW Mississippi Lock and Dam No. 2 project. This dam on the Mississippi River is owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.rnThe units are based on the patented technology of Hydro Green Energy LLC, of Houston, Texas, a partner in the hydro-kinetic project. Hydro Green Energy said one turbine was installed in December 2008, with the second to be installed in April 2009. The units are suspended from a barge in the tailrace of the dam.
