Promising Results from Phase 1 Proof of Concept Field Test of ITB at McNary

The Phase 1 "Proof of Concept" field test of the ITB system was conducted at McNary from December 14-16, 2005. Despite the limited operational range, the results were promising, indicating potential for continuous monitoring and data logging. Interfaces with GDACS revealed security issues leading to several necessary fixes and improvements. Future work includes verifying bug corrections, testing additional units, and developing long-term maintenance strategies. The estimated cost for implementing future phases of ITB into GDACS is about $850k over the next three years.

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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
