1. T1 ITB Status Phase 1“Proof of Concept” Field Test conducted
McNary U9 Dec
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
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
