FW: SD2 Blog Entry: Stormwater and Clean Energy (Street Scale)

Micro-hydroelectric power is an idea that has been around for decades and recently has been introduced into the market. The idea is that small scale water flows can be utilized to create electricity, without the need for large scale dams or long distance transmission lines and costs. Since Auburn has excess water during the rainy seasons, small micro-hydroelectric generators (such as the one seen above) can be placed on storm water pipes 8” in diameter, and can produce sustainable electricity. Systems such as these have been used on rural farms and small communities that are too far from an electric grid and are not able to feasibly get electricity. In Auburn’s case, these generators could be connected to the existing storm water infrastructure, and could produce power to a particular neighborhood or commercial/industrial area in the city. Further investigation into the cost and practicality of the idea needs to be done, however, if proven worthy, micro-hydroelectric generators would be a cheap way for Auburn to become more self sustaining, and could even generate revenue if power companies decided to purchase the electricity generated by the city.
