In-Conduit Hydro System for Portland, US by Staff International Water Power & Dam Construction, October 27, 2011

Renewable energy technology company Lucid Energy is to develop an in-conduit hydropower system within the city of Portland in Oregon, US, following an agreement with the Portland Development Commission (PDC) and the city.

The partners plan to collaborate with the Portland Water Bureau on a project that will use Lucid Energy's patented LucidPipe Power System, an in-pipe turbine that captures energy from fast-moving water inside gravity-fed water pipelines to produce clean, reliable, low-cost electricity. They will also look at other uses for the technology, such as providing power to eco-districts, car charging stations, desalination plants, purification systems and off-grid water agency tasks.
