MDPI Water publishes peer-reviewed paper detailing Natel's work with an innovative fish guidance module, the Center Sender
A peer-reviewed paper documenting our work on the "Center Sender," an electrified cantilevered bar rack used as fish guidance module has been published in MDPI Water!
This work was partially funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) via the Fish Protection Prize and was a collaborative effort between Natel, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the Universität Innsbruck, and represent's Natel's deep commitment to improving fish passage in hydropower.
Read "Examination of an Electrified Bar Rack Fish Guidance Device for Hydropower Turbines" on the open-source publication, Water, co-authored by Sterling Watson and Abe Schneider of Natel.
In 2022, The Fish Protection Prize produced this video about the Center Sender study:
