HYPOS?Hourly System Hydropower Scheduling
HYPOS (Hydro Power Scheduling) is a modification of the program HYPO as presented at Waterpower 81. HYPOS is an interactive system which allows schedulers to assign hourly power generation...

Hourly Scheduling Model for Multi-Unit Hydro Facilities
A computer model for determining hourly releases and generation for multi-unit hydropower facilities is described. The purpose of the model is to disaggregate daily release volumes (either...

Modeling a Real-Time Reservoir Operation for Hydropower Resources Analysis
This paper deals with modeling the operation of two reservoirs in tandem in order to determine energy gain at the downstream plant due to the regulation provided by the upstream reservoir....

Water Availability for Energy Development in the Upper Colorado River Basin
The Bureau of Reclamation is investigating, for planning purposes through hydrologic determination, the total allowable depletion level in the Upper Colorado River Basin. The Colorado...

Hydroelectric Project Design Using Microcomputers
The main issue in the first stage of a hydroelectric project is to assess the influence of hydrologic parameters on design and optimum sizing of the installation and on future energy production....

Hydro Systems Evaluation on Personal Computers
The programs for selecting the equipment and determining the average annual energy have been separated from the detailed financial analysis. The BASIC language was selected for the first...

Microcomputers as Productivity Aids for Small-Scale Hydroelectric Projects
Off-the-shelf software that has been used to improve productivity includes Computer-Aided-Design-and-Drafting (CADD) systems, spreadsheets, project managers, word processors, and communications...

Simplified Model for Micro-Hydro Feasibility
A computer model was developed for evaluating the preliminary hydraulic and economic feasibility of potential micro-hydro development sites. Among the main objectives of the model are...

Computer Modeling for a Power Intake
This paper describes the application of an existing computer model to respond to environmental requirements for a small scale hydroelectric power plant being developed by Allegheny Electric...

Simulation of River Ice Processes on Alaska's Susitna River
A numerical river ice model is applied to an 85-mile reach of Alaska's Susitna River immediately downstream of the proposed Susitna Hydroelectric Project. The model is designed...

Computer Modeling and Applications
A series of programs is available to evaluate the hydrology, compute the capacity to generate energy, establish unit costs, analyze penstock surge pressures, and simulate ramping rates....

Design of Drilled Piers Subjected to High Overturning Moments
The results are presented of a research study directed at improving the state-of-practice, and resulting foundation economy, in the design of laterally loaded drilled pier foundations...

TLMRF Research Initiatives
The research initiatives of the EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) structural development project RP2016-03 are described. The interrelationship of these initiatives with cosponsored...

Monitoring Techniques for Thermosyphons
Two-phase thermosyphons used for passive soil refrigeration are monitored using a variety of techniques ranging from visual infrared scanning to measurement of internal pressures. Methods...

Finite Element Modelling of Cold Regions Concreting
Finite element heat transfer computer programs are discussed in regard to their use in modelling cold weather concreting. The concrete material properties required for input to the finite...

Expert Systems and Engineering Design Knowledge
As in many current AI (Artificial Intelligence) systems, knowledge processing is the most important issue in expert systems. 'Knowledge' in engineering applications...

Broke2: A Program for Broken Wire Analysis
A computer program to study the dynamic behavior of an electric transmission line system when wires suddenly break has been developed by the authors. All three of the line elements: the...
