Hydro Research Foundation Attends the National Hydropower Association Conference
The Hydro Research Foundation attended the National Hydropower Association meeting in Washington D.C. from April 4-6. Two of the current Fellows, John Petrie and Jonathan Lamontagne were in attendance along with the Program Manager Deborah Linke and Grant Coordinator Brenna Vaughn.
HRF was invited to speak during the opening plenary session where Deborah Linke gave a summary and update of the program as well as introduced John Petrie and Jonathan Lamontagne. During the course of the conference the Fellows met with industry leaders, researchers and utilities. The fellowship program was also promoted during the Research and Development Meeting, at the Department of Energy session as well as the HPC meeting. During the conference the program had a table where attendees could learn about the current research, fellows and program partnership. The conference was a large success thanks to the National Hydropower Association’s support.
Pennwell generously supported the program by highlighting the Program in their special conference edition of the NHA conference. The video can be seen by clicking this link.
