Résumé
A novel method for determining the optimal location for the placement of a hydrokinetic turbine in a river reach using an acoustic Doppler current profiler and a global positioning system is presented. A field campaign was conducted on the Rivière-Rouge, Quebec as a case study November 5, 2020 during an approximate mean flow condition. Three types of data collection methods were used in the field campaign: zig-zag survey, transect or cross-section survey, and point survey. Bathymetry maps and velocity fields were generated from the flow depth and depth-averaged velocity data collected. Based on the constraints of depth being greater than 3 m and depth-averaged velocity being greater than 1.5 m/s for turbine deployment, two locations of optimal turbine placement were identified within the study reach: the northwestern river bank and a small section in the center of the reach. The distribution of optimal turbine locations based on assessment of bathymetry alone differed from the distribution identified based on assessment of flow velocity alone. Areas to the northwest of the study location, which were not surveyed due to practical limitations, may be more feasible for turbine deployment than those within the range of the case study. This is the first study of its kind that uses ADCP measurements to explicitly determine the optimal locations for hydrokinetic turbine deployment in a river reach.
