Rocky Mountain Hydro
By May 1995, the $700 million Rocky Mountain Pumped Storage project will bring 850 MW of peaking power to a large part of the population in northwest Georgia. Its opening will mark only...
Maintenance Management of Power Transmission Lines
An adb-based maintenance management system, KUHA, was developed in Finland to enable more efficient maintenance of power transmission lines. The system is used for strategic planning in...
Cable-in-Conduit Superconductors for MAGLEV Magnet Systems
A major advantage of using a Nb3Sn Cable-in-Conduit Conductor (CICC) for MAGLEV lies in its demonstrated capability to operate in supercritical helium....
Energy Facility Siting in Coastal Zones
Siting constraints to the development of coastal energy facilities may lengthen or complicate the siting process. These constraints have evolved over the history of coastal energy facilities....
Numerical Estimation of Macrodispersivities in Heterogeneous Self-similar Aquifers
Numerical simulations of contaminant transport in a stratified aquifer characterized by a self-similar distribution of hydraulic conductivity were performed. Macrodispersivities were calculated...
Stormwater Infiltration Design Based on Rainfall Statistics and Soil Hydraulics
When comparing stormwater infiltration with other methods for stormwater drainage an appropriate design procedure is necessary. The method proposed for future Danish guidelines is based...
AGWATER?
The AGWATER computer program is an interactive learning, teaching, and pre-season evaluation tool regarding agricultural irrigation. It combines the concepts of irrigation scheduling,...
Development of Enhanced Tools for the Integrated Analysis of Reservoir and Power System Operations
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) have initiated a collaborative project - the INTEGRAL Project - to develop improved tools for coordinating...
Quantity and Quality of Dry Weather Flow in Las Vegas Valley, Nevada
In recognition of the potential for dry weather flows to convey pollutants from the Las Vegas Valley, the potential economic and resource value of these flows within the Valley, and the...
Large-Scale Embankment Overtopping Protection Tests
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Colorado State University (CSU), and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) have an ongoing cooperative research effort to determine...
The Design and Development of A Road/Rail Power Unit
The road/rail power unit was designed and developed by Saskatchewan Highways and Transportation to provide low cost motive power on low-density disconnected rail lines. The power unit...
Detecting Leaks in Geomembranes
A field-tested leak-location survey, now commercially-available, can provide construction quality assurance or solve a leakage problem in lined landfills, impoundments or tanks. A liner...
Properties of Bottom Ash-Based Composite
High-calcium bottom ash, a by-product of the electric power industry, was evaluated for feasibility of use as a fine aggregate in structural grade concrete. Both fresh and hardened properties...
Active Guideway Systems
Many automated people movers which have been developed or studied in France or in other countries belong to the category of active guideway systems. This paper describes characteristics...
A Public Transport System Based on Light Electric Cars
This paper presents the concept under development in France of a novel transportation system based on fleet of small public cars under supervision from a central computer. These public...
Chicago-O'Hare International Airport Transit System (ATS)
This paper describes the development of the O'Hare Airport Transit System, as well as, the individual subsystem elements which make up the entire system. In addition, the paper also describes...
Automatic Power Factor Correction Equipment?The TrAAm People Mover System
The introduction of the American Airlines' TrAAm project brought numerous modifications to support the addition of guideway, stations and the operation of three-car trains to the existing...
Regeneration?Potentially Powerful Stuff
Virtually all Automated People Movers (APMs) use electrical power for propulsion. Many designs also use electrical braking to augment any mechanical braking devices for decelerating trains....
The Advantages of E & M Systems Procurement
Fifteen years of experience, observations and lessons gained by two of the leading turnkey contractors in the transit and large people mover market have led to the following conclusion:...
Flow Properties of Unsaturated Soils Under Controlled Suction
