Within the EC-funded research project HYLOW - Hydropower converters for very low head differences a floating energy converter - a so called Free Stream Energy Converter (FSEC) - for the energetic utilisation of currents with slow flow velocities (< 2.0 m/s) has been developed and will be optimized until 2012. In order to estimate the hydropower potential in case of deployment of the FSEC, a p otential analysis exemplarily for the northern part of the river Ems, at the border between Netherlands and Germany, was performed. Here, the environmentally compatible hydropower potential has a special importance. As expected, this potential is much lower than the theoretical hydropower potential. In addition to the efficiency of the energy converter, also the required water depth, existing protection areas and other uses are the main reason for the difference between the mentioned potentials in this investigation area.
