Sultan River Project Operation Study for the Sultan River Hydroelectric Project
The project will be operated to maximize energy production from the Sultan River within the operational constraints imposed by the water demand for the City of Everett and by the instream...

Maximum-Slew-Rate Nonlinear Control for Improved Transient Response in Hydrogenerators
This paper considers a linearized model for fixed blade turbines. This paper demonstrates that constant gate speed bang-bang control holds potential advantages over current control techniques....

Lemon Dam Hydropower Project
The Florida Water Conservancy District (District), the entity responsible for the operation of the dam and for repayment of the costs, had been interested in the hydropower potential of...

Small Hydropower Potential in Missouri
The hydropower potential of small head plants on the Gasconade River was investigated. Since, it is felt that small head plants will have less environmental impact, thus it will be more...

Developmental Changes Due to Site Investigations
The Winooski Hydroelectric Company of Montpelier, Vermont is conducting the reconstruction of Dam #8 on the Winooski River in East Montpelier, Vermont. Unprecedented eminent domain proceedings...

Town Bluff Dam, Texas: A Federal?Non-Federal Hydropower Partnership
Town Bluff Dam is located in southeast Texas, on the Neches River about 45 miles north of Beaumont, Texas. The dam is one element of the authorized Lower Neches and Angelina Rivers, Texas,...

Mt. Tabor Hydroelectric Project
In 1980 the engineering staff of the City of Portland Bureau of Water Works identified several potential hydroelectric sites in Portland water supply and distribution system. The Mt. Tabor...

Calaveras Pipeline Hydroelectric Project
The Calaveras Public Utility District (San Andreas, California) has a pipeline connecting its water treatment plant to the San Andreas Reservoir. By reducing the flow rate in the system...

Miramar/Alvarado Hydropower Projects
The San Diego County Water Authority (SDCWA) was organized in 1944 to provide imported water to member agencies in San Diego County. The 24 member agencies supply 90 percent of the water...

Low Head Hydroelectric Development on Madera Canal
The Madera-Chowchilla Power Authority with cooperation from the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation has been successful in the development of four hydroelectric plants at five head drops on the...

Re-Use of Civil Structures Make Norway Hydro Possible
Utilization of abandoned civil facilities made the addition of 1,800 KW to an operating 3,200 KW hydro plant of the City of Norway, Michigan Light and Power feasible. Work consisted of...

Two New Machines for Ultra Low-Head Hydropower
This paper outlines the development of two new types of positive displacement ultra low-head hydropower machines, the AUR Water Engine (AURWE) and the Salford Transverse Oscillator (STO)....

Hydropower on a Wastewater Plant Outfall: Point Loma Hydro Project
The plant is on a bluff 90 feet above the Pacific Ocean where the primary treated effluent is discharged through a 2-mile-long (3. 2 kilometer) outfall pipeline. The head was previously...

North Fork Hydro Electric Power Station
Lake Hemet Municipal Water District has recently installed a hydro power station capable of producing approximately 200 KW of power during years of normal flow and 600 KW during periods...

Non-Federal Hydropower Development at Federal Facilities
The opportunities are available for meaningful coordination among hydropower developers, consulting engineers, and Federal, State, and local agencies to promote comprehensive development...

FEM-Flow Analysis in Hydraulic Turbomachinery Runners
Finite element calculations of the flow through distributor and runner of hydraulic turbomachines are presented. The method is quasi-3D and inviscid, but the deviations from a potential...

Uncertainty Analysis of Field Turbine Performance Measurements
This paper presents comprehensive uncertainty analyses of two different flow measurement methods for field tests on turbines. The 'water to wire' efficiency was...

A Review of the Cross-Flow Turbine
The historical development of the cross-flow turbine is briefly presented together with a summary of the well-documented one-dimensional theory. Two-dimensional aspects of runner design...

Dolores Pumped-Storage Unit?A Case Study in Planning
The Durango Projects Office of the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) conducted a pumped-storage investigation from 1981 to 1983 on a site in southwestern Colorado. This paper describes...

Unique Civil Engineering Features of the Balsam Meadow Pumped-Storage Project
The Balsam Meadow Pumped-Storage Project for the Southern California Edison Company is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains approximately 55 miles northeast of Fresno, California. The...
