I looked at a beautiful site today. There is an existing old power house down stream from a good dam with a gate house. 32" diameter wood penstock, about 900 feet long(needs extensive repairs) . 75 feet of head The power house, built in 1929, is boarded up and locked so I have no idea what, if any machinery or type of turbine is in there. There is ample flow to keep the penstock full. How much power could I get? In New England power is worth about $.05 per kwh (although home owners are paying $.18) Would a new turbine be cost effective?
