This demonstration project is aimed at tapping the potential of renewable energy sources in New York State. The historic mill, built in 1751 and placed in the National Register of Historic Places in the year 1990, currently produces electricity using hydropower.

The Grist Mill Hydropower system was erected during April this year. Professor Lei Zuo of the Stony Brook University has mentioned that this is the first time a water-powered mill has been retrofitted with electromagnetic generators for producing electricity in New York State.

The Grist Mill Hydropower system produces around 1.5 kW of electricity by making use of an 80%-efficient generator. This project’s intellectual merit expands the knowledge basis for the conversion of hydropower into electricity.
