Read in full (loop-3 pass 44; osti.gov timed out from this machine, so the Internet Archive's copy of the OSTI PDF, captured 04/02/2025, was read). One SLH100 hydroEngine (linearly moving foils rather than a rotor) commissioned September 2015 at an existing drop on the NUID main canal, Madras, Oregon: 'The nameplate capacity of the SLH100 at the Monroe Hydro Project is 250 kW. The gross head ranges between 4.1 meters and 5.1 meters. The machine can pass a maximum flow of 331 cfs. The SLH100 hydroEngine has run at maximum power of 267 kW with water-to-wire plant efficiency of 60% (73% hydraulic efficiency), meeting design expectations.' The report gives no formula for either efficiency and does not state the grid-side boundary; expected annual generation 873 MWh, 40 % annual capacity factor (80 % over the irrigation season).
