Ocean Energy: Can It Compete?
Electric power plants using ocean energy are technically viable, but they tend to be cost-prohibitive. A study commissioned by the Electric Power Research Institute and carried out by...
Going Sewerless
An in-building wastewater recycling system is an option where lack of sewers, limits on water supply, and special concerns about water quality are obstacles. The system was incorporated...
Milan's Model Metro
A number of innovative geotechnical methods were used at the extension of the Milan, Italy, subway. Jet grouting, a technique used only a few times in the United States, was notable among...
Shake-Proof Dams
Seismic trouble spots in California and along the Pacific Coast usually get the most publicity. But many people don't realize that Wyoming, Illinois, South Carolina, Utah...
Pipe-lining a Pipeline
This core prestressed concrete cylinder pipe is now lining the inside of a major water supply tunnel in Alaska. Occasionally found in rock tunnels, or buried pipelines, large diameter,...
Back on Track at Coney
All New York City subway repairs take place at a repair shop in Coney Island. The shop's floor was plagued by settlement problems since its construction on a filled swamp...
Another Geotech Import: Deep Soil Mixing
A technique called deep soil mixing (DSM), imported from Japan, has been used to stabilize an existing dam foundation. When the Bureau of Reclamation discovered that Jackson Lake Dam had...
Beyond Digital Mapping
Northern Ireland, small and compact, geographically well defined with a relatively simple administrative structure, is able to establish a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS)...
Ozoning the Aqueduct
Only the second of its kind in the United States, the Los Angeles Aqueduct Filtration Plant is using ozone to treat drinking water. The water comes from the Sierra Nevadas via the 300...

Supervisory Control System Design
This paper presents supervisory control concepts, elements of a typical system, testing activities, project management, and the procurement process. Modes of control systems are discussed...
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....
Economical Computer Controls for Low Head Hydro
Small power systems based on renewable energy sources such as low head water falls, wind, solar and ocean tides all suffer from stochastic changes in input power. Economically viable,...
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...
