Technology Development for Auto-Venting Turbines
Experimentation with venting air into the hydroturbines at Norris Dam has convinced the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) that this is a viable method for increasing dissolved oxygen (DO)...
New Experimental Results on the Parameters Influencing Air-Sea Gas Exchange
Gas exchange experiments from large linear and circular facilities are presented which provide some more insight into the influence of waves on the gas exchange process. The experimental...
Mechanical Aeration System Design for Reservoir Tailwater Enhancement
Low dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in tailraces below hydropower facilities has been identified as a problem at some projects during nongeneration periods. One technique which may...

Lifeline Earthquake Engineering?A New Zealand Perspective
This paper outlines the application of earthquake engineering to New Zealand's lifelines, tracing the development of design practices in roading, bridging, power generation...
Seismic Design Practices for Power Systems: Evolution, Evaluation, and Needs
The evolution of seismic design practices in electric power systems is reviewed. In California this evolution had led to many installation practices that are directed at improving the...
First Experience Concerning the Seismic Behaviour of an Electric Power System in Eastern North America
The November 25, 1988, Saguenay earthquake of magnitude MbLg=6.5 occurred in the province of Quebec, Canada....
Aseismic Calculations for Transmission Towers
In this paper, mechanical models for long-span transmission line systems under elastic and gravitational restoring forces are established in three different directions; this continues...
Design of Substation Foundations for Liquefaction
When substation foundations penetrate liquefiable strata within risk prone seismic regions, the potential loss of support must be evaluated with state-of-the-art methods to determine foundation...
Earthquake Evaluation of a Substation Network
The impact of the occurrence of a large, damaging earthquake on a regional electric power system is a function of the geographical distribution of strong shaking, the vulnerability of...
Economic Impact of Earthquake Effects on the City of Everett's Lifelines
The economic effects of lifelines failures, caused by three hypothesized earthquake scenarios, in the city of Everett, Washington are estimated. The project team consists of lifeline seismic...
Seismic Hazards Associated with a Major San Diego Lifeline Corridor
Evidence for multiple Holocene earthquakes on the Rose Canyon fault zone in San Diego sheds new light on the seismic hazards of San Diego, and in particular, a major lifeline corridor....
Lifeline Seismic Risk Analysis Impacts of a Catastrophic Earthquake on U.S. National Lifeline Systems
Electric power, water, gas, and oil pipelines, highways, railroads and several other lifelines of critical importance at the U.S. national level have been inventoried and analyzed, to...
Understanding the Earthquake Environment, Corporate Strategies
Corporations should understand the impact that earthquakes may have on their ability to function. Some earthquake related issues which face a corporation are: earthquake design levels...
Loss and Recovery of Critical Lifelines Following Recent Hurricanes
Hurricanes significantly affect the performance of critical lifelines. An overview of the loss and recovery of power supply, transportation, communication, and water/wastewater systems...
Error Rate Measurements of RDS-FM Transmissions Application to an RDS-Beacon
The Radio Data System is now commonly implemented on many European VHF-FM broadcasting transmitters. RDS provides for the transmission of a silent data channel on existing VHF-FM radio...
Dynamic Estimation of Freeway Demand Patterns and a Stochastic Programming Approach to Freeway Ramp Metering
Controlling the rate at which vehicles are allowed to enter a freeway from the freeway's on-ramps has become a standard method for reducing the impact of both recurring and...
Utility Metering Versus Sub-Metering and the Methods Available
This paper is intended to bring to light the necessity to meter electricity that boat owners use. We will discuss the theory and components that go into electronic meters. The economics...
