T1 ITB Status Phase 1“Proof of Concept” Field Test conducted McNary U9 Dec 14-16 05 Although limited operating range tested, results promising Continuous monitoring of unit to identify “steady- state” operation and when to log data Interfaces with GDACS (security issues) Numerous fixes & improvements identified Once corrected, “unattended and automatic” collection of data possible
T1 ITB Phase 1 • Test to verify bugs have been corrected • Parallel to IH index testing Feb ’06 • Off-cam (Fixed Blade) testing of Kaplan unit should prove applicability of ITB to Francis unit • Testing @ IH in lieu of previously proposed CJ verification test
Type 1 ITB Phase 2 • Procure non-GDACS ITB ~$12k • Procure additional GDACS ITB ~$12k • Demonstration Project Kaplan (GDACS): LGR 4-6 proposed site (FY07) • Demonstration project Francis (non-GDACS): Site tbd, DWO or CJ
T1 Future Work • T1 Implementation into GDACS: - ITB source code availability - ITB long term maintenance - Develop code for GDACS Est. $850k next 3 yrs to develop
T1 Future Work • W-K Rel Flow Signal into GDACS • X-ducers w/ automated flushing system on each unit • B1,B2, TD, JD, CJ, IH, LGR, LMO, LGO 97 Kaplan & 27 Francis installations • AF, Libby & Willamette Valley Projects • E&D FY06 • Implementation FY07 & FY08 • Develop new discharge tables
Absolute Flow CJ & DWO • 2 units CJ, 3 units DWO currently installed • Flow value into GDACS • Decision on remaining units • Range of possibilities: • Acoustic flow meters on every unit $$$ • Gibson Test every unit $$$ • Acoustic flow single unit given family & index test remaining units of same family • DWO testing to verify method (3) • If successful, phased implementation at CJ
