Case Study on the Development of a Hydro License Compliance Monitoring System
As the holder of 29 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licenses, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PGandE) has an obvious need to monitor and document compliance with the numerous...
Fish Mortality at a New Low-Head Hydroelectric Plant
A study was developed for the Morrow Plant to investigate the potential for turbine related mortality of entrained fish. Morrow Lake supports a small sport fishery, mainly for smallmouth...
The Use of Time Series Analysis to Estimate Flow Duration Curves to Assess Energy Potential for Low Head Hydro Redevelopment
The proposed hydroelectric site location has a low head potential making discharge the primary energy production component. A flow duration curve (FDC) study was commenced to generate...
Appropriate Design and Construction of Conduits for Small and Mini Hydropower
The success of smaller hydro schemes often lies in identifying feasible and economic waterway systems to develop relatively high heads between low intake weir and powerstation. This paper...
Designing a Modern Small-Scale Hydroelectric Plant
STS Consultants, Ltd. (STS) and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) successfully teamed on four hydropower sites in Michigan during the 1980's. Three of the four sites...
Status and Prospectives of Small Hydro Power Development in Egypt
