The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the Alaska Center for Energy and Power (ACEP) to design, develop, and test a novel hydrokinetic generator (i.e. the “Water Horse”) that would produce energy from turbulent water conditions in river environments. A prototype device would be fabricated and tested in laboratory environments. Field demonstration activities would then be performed at the Tanana River Test Site (TRTS) in Nenana, Alaska in June/July in 2020 and 2021.
