Feasibility Assessment of Sustainable Hydroelectric Facilities in Northeastern Illinois (semester?), IPRO 319: Hydroelectric NE IL IPRO 319 Abstract Sp06

IPRO 319’s objective is to determine the feasibility of converting one or more existing dams on the Fox River into low impact hydroelectric facilities, based upon the project’s economic viability, stakeholders, permitting, and certification processes. As part of this objective, the group aims to provide an extensive catalogue of information on low-impact hydroelectricity so as to establish a strong foundation for future IPROs/EnPROs concerned with the project. We hope to take advantage of IIT’s unique role as an education and research institution to accomplish the task.Deliverables for IPRO 319: Feasibility Assessment of Sustainable Hydroelectric Facilities in Northeastern Illinois for the Spring 2006 semeste
