ABSTRACT:
A power generation flume for use with fluid or water flow channels that includes an acceleration zone where a power generation system can be used in an accelerated flow to generate power in a cost efficient manner. The flume can have a variety of dimensions and can be used at one or at multiple locations along or across the flow channel without effecting upstream flow conditions.
