Project Evaluation?Don't Miss the Boat
The hydroelectric developer is faced with many decisions during the evaluation stage. These include determining the size of the project, financial analysis to be used, type and number...

Hydropower Development under the Utility Concept of Least Cost Utility Planning
The impetus behind 'Least Cost Utility Planning' (LCUP) is that if new generation or purchased power could be deferred, the resultant savings could be used to...

Determining Hydro Project Dependable Capacity
Traditional techniques for estimating a hydro project's dependable capacity are of limited value when evaluating a hydro project in a thermal-based power system. For such...

Important Aspects of Annual Energy Calculation Techniques for Low Head Hydro Power Plants
Annual energy calculations are frequently used to optimize design parameters at a turbine site and to compare energy production based on equipment offers from various suppliers. In this...

Quantifying Uncertainty in Hydropower Planning
Power system operators must deal with various types of uncertainties. Some are related to inputs, such as system load and water supply, while others pertain to the system itself, such...

Joint Economic Evaluation of Pumped Storage in Colorado
This paper summarizes a joint planning study completed in December 1988 on the economic potential of pumped-storage development. The study was unusual in water development investigations...

An Investigation of a Pumped Storage Hydropower System
In order to provide a realistic basis of determining the viability of a wind-powered hydroelectric system at a potential site, an evaluation technique has been developed. Basically, this...
