An open-source Python library for estimating hydropower generation based on flow rate, integrating user inputs or USGS water data.
Technology No. CW-21-57
The HydroGenerate is an open-source python library that has the capability of estimating hydropower generation based on flow rate either provided by the user or received from United States Geological Survey (USGS) water data services.
