Abstract
A Portland-based company whose technology generates power from water movement has had success with a system in remote Alaska and is now getting interest from around the globe. ORPC (Ocean Renewable Power Company) used RivGen technology to extract energy from river flow, lessening diesel dependence, and lowering carbon emissions, noise, and environmental risk. Additional commercial projects are in the planning.
