Summary
The report partially documents an attempt to build and operate a hydropower plant at a Turlock Irrigation District canal utilizing a Schneider Engine machine. The purpose of the project was to demonstrate economic and technical viability of the Schneider Engine in an irrigation canal setting and collect operation and maintenance data for one complete irrigation season after completion of the plant. The plant was to use 417 cfs of water at 7 feet of head to produce about 192 kW. The plant was built and operated intermittently for up to a week at a time producing up to 133 kW. On June 5, 1984 after many delays and mechanical problems associated with the prototype turbine and drive system, the unit failed catastrophically and subsequently has not operated.
