Hydraulic Aspects of a Low-Velocity, Inclined Fish Screen
The Potter Valley Hydroelectric Project diverts up to 310 cfs from Van Arsdale Reservoir on the Eel River in north-central California and delivers it to Potter Valley for power production...
Survival of Atlantic Salmon Smolts Bypassed Through Ice-Log Sluices Determined by the HI-Z Turb'N Tag
The HI-Z Turb'N Tag was used to assess injury and mortality incurred by Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) smolts bypassed through ice-log sluiceways at two stations. Both sluiceways were similar...
Ask Young Clupeids if Kaplan Turbines are Revolving Doors or Blenders
Previous estimates of low survival (18 to 38 %) of young clupeids (American shad, blueback herring, and alewife) in passage through hydro turbines have led many to conclude that turbines...
Regulation of Flow Downstream of Weirs
Reregulation weirs are one means adopted by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to provide continuous improved minimum flow and wetted area for aquatic life downstream if hydroprojects...
Friction Loss Equations for Hydropower Facilities
Many water suppliers are pursuing economic benefits from water supply and distribution systems through development of hydropower facilities on pipelines. Excessive pressure head that used...
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...
Hydraulic Model Studies of Y-Branch
Hydraulic model studies were made for the Y-branch steel penstock located in a vertical bend. The model tests were performed for various modes of pumping and generating operation. The...
Application of Environmental Regulations on Design of Hydraulic Structures for Open Cooling Water System
Design of intake and discharge structures for an open cooling water system for a thermal power plant requires that the design of hydraulic structures meets the federal, state, and local...
Hydrologic Design: Extending Traditional Methods
A review of traditional hydrologic design shows that it is inadequate. The continued adaptation of manual techniques into computer software without a major change in fundamental assumptions...
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...
A New Type of Concrete Trapezoid Dam
A new type of 128.0 m height concrete trapezoid dam (t-d) has been built for the Wunana Town Hydroelectric Power Station (WTHPS). The paper presents its optimum section design, several...
Selective Withdrawal for Reducing Turbid Water in a Reservoir
This paper deals with improvemental operations of the selective withdrawal facilities as one of the comprehensive technics for shortening the turbid water stay after floods flown into...
Three-Dimensional Modeling of Tides and Wind-Waves
A third-generation coupled discrete numerical wave prediction model is dynamically linked to a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The effects of water level, currents, and bottom friction...
An Evaluation of Fiberglass Pipe Made by Three Different Manufacturing Processes for use in Water Transmission Projects
Fiberglass pipe is made primarily using continuous filament wound process, discontinuous helical filament wound process, and centrifugal cast process. Some 40 countries around the world...
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...
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...
Denver International Airport AGTS?A Progress Report
Denver International Airport (DIA), the first major airport to be built in the United States in nearly 20 years, is under construction approximately 25 miles (40 km) northeast of downtown...
Automatic Power Factor Correction Equipment?The TrAAm People Mover System
