RETERO project: Electronic fish surrogates for hydropower facility risk assessment

2019
Otto-von-Guericke-Universität, Magdeburg, Germany
Hydropower facilities like water vortex power plants interrupt fish migration corridors. In order to examine the fish injury and mortality rates related to hydropower plants, live fish are commonly used. To reduce and replace these live fish, electronic fish surrogates are designed with pressure and inertial sensors to evaluate the thresholds of hydropower-induced damage. Combined with numerical simulations and a fish behaviour model, prediction of injury and mortality of fish when passing through turbines and hydraulic structures which are important data for regulatory compliance studies can be possible.
