Nanpil River Hydropower Project Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia
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...

Specification Writing for Small Hydro-Generators
For small hydro projects, it is all too common for the spec writer to use a convenient off-shelf spec usually written for a much larger unit. Minor modifications (primarily ratings) are...

Changing Stability Criteria: Effect on Older Dams
Many of the dams on the Georgia Power Company system were designed and constructed in the early 1900's. Changes that have occurred in stability criteria since construction...

Dam Safety Rehabilitation at Selected TVA Hydroelectric Projects
In response to President Carter's 1976 memorandum to all Federal agencies with responsibility for dams to develop and implement formal guidelines for dam safety, TVA restructured...

Rapid Filling of Reservoirs
The rate of filling a reservoir, particularly for the first time, is governed by various factors. While economic considerations may favor rapid filling of reservoir to operational levels,...

Practical Aspects of Repairing and Rewinding Hydro-Electric Generators
Often the general condition of the winding can be assessed and in some cases, corrective action can be taken to prolong the life of the winding. In other situations, the assessment may...

Infrastructure Development and Turbine Building
Aggressive development schedules which characterize many projects imply a degree of construction management know-how or alternatively, may say something about the state of the industry...

Competitive Model Testing for Replacement Runners at the Wells Hydroelectric Project
The Wells Hydroelectric Project, located on the Columbia River, contains ten Kaplan-type turbines. The plant has been in commercial operation since January, 1969. The runners have a long...

Uprating Hydro Turbines and Generators
Various engineering evaluations of the turbine and generator components are required when considering uprating units. Often, certain turbine and generator components have to be redesigned...

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...

The Lowell Hydroelectric Project: A Case Study
The Lowell Hydroelectric Project, located on the Merrimack River in Lowell, Massachusetts, consists of an existing dam, canals, and turbine generating equipment presently operating at...

Negotiating Environmental Protection Measures with Resource Agencies: Twin Falls and Weeks Falls Hydroelectric Projects, Washington
The planning and licensing process for the Twin and Weeks Falls Projects involved resolution of numerous regulatory and environmental issues, including the need for cumulative impact analysis...

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....

Public Involvement Strategies: A Case Study in Citizen Participation
Literally millions of dollars are wasted every year because authorized and funded water projects are stalled in court, hung up in administrative proceedings, or delayed while the project...

Importance of Public Consultation
Early consultation with governmental resource agencies as well as private environmental groups can mean the difference between early resolution of conflicts between developers and environmentalists...

Planning for Small-Scale Hydroelectric Development: A State Response
A 'surplus' of power in the Pacific Northwest region of the country has brought with it a declining interest in the generation of new electrical energy supplies....

Small Hydro Advocacy
The state public utilities commissions wield enormous power over the destiny of small hydro projects; power extending over rates, contract terms and dispute resolution. Yet developers...

Effective Coordination With Fish and Wildlife Agencies
Recently the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) expanded the role communications play in dealing with Fish and Wildlife Agencies. In March of 1985 the FERC publication #FERC-0100...

Coordinating Engineering and Environmental Activities in Hydropower Development
This paper reviews the role of hydropower project personnel, particularly the interaction between project management, engineering, and environmental sciences staff in project planning...

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...
