The Nanpil River Hydropower Project is a 1600 KW run-of-the-river hydropower project located on the tropical island of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. The hydropower project will...

Electrical Design of Small Hydro Plants
Major aspects of electrical design criteria for small hydro power plants used in co-generation schemes are: turbine control, generator and excitation equipment selection, protection relaying,...

Carmen-Smith Uprate & Modernization
The Carmen-Smith Powerhouse is located on the upper McKenzie River, 75 miles northeast of Eugene, Oregon. Carmen's two nearly identical 42. 1 MVA vertical hydroelectric turbine...

Analysis of Expanding the Wolf Creek Powerplant
The Nashville District, Corps of Engineers, is examining the feasibility of expanding the Wolf Creek powerplant to increase its peaking capability. The economic analysis of peaking expansions...

Performance Consideration for Selecting a Static Excitation System
Many hydropower plants today are being upgraded with new static exciter/regulator systems to replace the old existing rotary exciters. One type of system is the semi-inverting system where...

Renovation of the Shoshone Powerplant, Wyoming
Shoshone Powerplant and Buffalo Bill Dam are located on the Shoshone River approximately 5 miles (8. 1 km) west of Cody, Wyoming. The Powerplant was completed and the first two generating...

Application of an Integrated Numerical System for the Modernization of Hydro Turbines
The modules of an integrated numerical system for the new design and replacement of hydro power plant components are described and some examples of application are shown. The main modules...

The Twlefth Street Project?Multiple Uses on the Falls of the James River
This paper is about a hydroelectric project that was not built. The project is located in Richmond, Virginia on the James River. Project civil works, water rights and adjacent land are...

Fishery Issues Slow Boardman River Redevelopment
At issue was the requirement of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service to require the establishment of fish ladders at the hydro sites....

Small-Hydro Development and Public Decisionmaking
This paper is based on a larger study (Soden, 1985), and employs concepts distilled from public choice theory - an increasingly well-accepted approach to the study of public policy and...

Determination of the Effects of Multiple Small-Scale Hydroelectric Projects on Resources in a California River Basin: A Matrix Approach
In 1983, Section 306 of the Energy and Water Appropriation Act required the FERC to conduct a comprehensive water resource analysis in the Upper San Joaquin River Basin, California. A...

Wilderness Hydrometeorological Study in the Colorado River Basin: A Case Study in Natural Resource Conflict Resolution
This paper describes the formation and progress of the Interagency Committee on Wilderness Hydrometeorological Data Collection (ICWHDC). It highlights how the ICWHDC is attempting to resolve...

Study of River Stage Fluctuations Resulting from Possible Operations of the Susitna Hydroelectric Project
Operation of the project to follow load may result in discharge and river stage fluctuations which could affect habitats and fish food sources. Limitations on hourly, daily, and weekly...

Fish Screens for Hydropower Developments
The paper reviews five screening systems that are now being used at hydropower developments. The screen types discussed have a demonstrated ability to meet agency fish screening criteria....

Assessment of Probable Fishery Impacts of Hydroelectric Development at Lock and Dam No. 26 (Replacement), Mississippi River
Early coordination with affected Federal and state agencies allowed completion of an Environmental Assessment for a hydroelectric plant proposed for Lock and Dam No. 26 (Replacement)....

Real Time Information Systems for Improved Port Operations
The technology to make appropriate measurements and to forecast conditions for short intervals is available today. Simple collection, analysis and dissemination systems are within the...

Salmon Restoration: Blessing, Bane or Boondoggle?
The 'strategic' plans for the Atlantic Salmon Restoration Program were examined to determine what the strategy of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service is for this...

Capacity Planning of Decentralized Small-Scale Hydro Power Plants
Some simple and efficient models are proposed to determine the optimal capacity and the expected energy generation of a decentralized small-scale hydro plant. Both the supply of an isolated...
