Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Hydro-Electric Developments The interest which has been manifested by investors, capitalists and bankers in schemes for utilizing water powers has created a demand for a general treatment of the subject, which deals particularly with the commercial side of such enterprises. Many water powers have undoubtedly been developed without giving sufficient consideration to the subject or the principles involved, but enough developments have been made to furnish data which may be made use of in the future. It is therefore the object of this short discussion to indicate, as far as possible, the information which should be obtained in order to afford a definite basis for forming a decision as to the merits of any proposed undertaking. The idea is to treat the subject from a different point of view from the one usually taken and to avoid as far as possible a discussion of principles of engineering which have been very thoroughly worked out and treated by a number of writers of ability. Let us assume therefore that good engineering advice may be obtained and we may determine with fair accuracy the possibilities of utilizing the power for commercial purposes. The first information, therefore, which we desire to obtain is: What will be the cost of making the development?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hydro-Electric Development on the Snake River at Oxbow Bend, Oregon: A Thesis One of the large undeveloped water powers is at Ox Bow Bend on the Snake River. There is little market for the energy in this locality and hence the development of a hydroelectric plant was considered impractical. However, during the last few years, great strides have been made in high tension power transmission and it is now possible to economically carry power large distances to a market. Jhue, the output of a plant at Ox Bow Ban be transmitted to a market at Boise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hydroelectric Developments and Engineering: A Practical and Theoretical Treatise on the Development, Design, Construction, Equipment and Operation of Hydroelectric Transmission Plants Owing to our supposedly inexhaustible coal supply, interest in hydraulic develop ment has naturally been of tardy growth until recent years; and it is only lately that the government has taken steps toward the development and commercial use of water power resources and the preservation Of the forests. In Europe the limited coal supply early induced the utilization of the water resources; and the various Continental governments encouraged this movement by granting favorable franchises, and in many cases advanced money to finance the undertakings, at the same time protecting the water-sheds by rigid enforcement of forest preservation laws. It is but natural, therefore, that hydraulic developments and electric transmission received early and special attention abroad, and as a result Europe abounds in hydraulic developments, utilizing heads varying from inches to 3116 feet.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hydro-Electric Practice: A Practical Manual of the Development of Water Power, Its Conversion to Electric Energy, and Its Distant Transmission The economical transmission of electric energy to distances great and small, the rapidly increasing utilization of electro-motive power in industrial establishments, and the advent of the electric interurban railroads are responsible for the marked movement of impressing water-powers to the service of generating electric current; and now water-power, which had been almost relegated to obscurity by the perfection of the steam-engine, is not only regaining but even exceeding its former importance as an economical prime power source. It is entirely within the facts to state that a normally conditioned hydro-electric power plant can successfully compete with the most refined steam-power plant and the lowest priced fuel, natural gas. No wonder then that water-powers are to-day being sought after with feverish activity, and that some remarkable successes have been achieved, but also that many disastrous failures must be recorded. Hydro-electric power development is a much more complex undertaking than a large majority of the promoters of such enterprises realize when the subject is first approached, but which is most forcibly impressed upon them when the carrying out of the project is seriously attempted. Unfortunately, the most dangerous pitfalls are encountered at the beginning of the undertaking, and unless these are properly guarded against the finished work may disclose some incurable defects. Developments of the important natural resources of mines, of forests, and of manufacturing and transportation projects are rarely undertaken except upon the findings of recognized authorities on these respective subjects; not so, however, with hydro-electric power propositions, which are most frequently begun in a hap-hazard sort of fashion, with the stream and a fall as assumed assets, while the market, constancy of output, cost of product, riparian rights, and numerous other controlling features remain undetermined until some later day.

With the many excellent works on hydraulics and electricity now published, it is needless to reproduce their contents here. It is with the relationships between the available power, methods of development, the machinery and apparatus employed, and the final use to which the energy will be put, that this book is con cerned. It is to be noted that the use of mathematics has been studiously avoided and the text may be followed understandingly by any one having an elementary knowledge of algebra.
