Download or read book Operational Simulation of a Reservoir System with Pumped Storage written by George F. McMahon and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Richard B. Russell Dam and Lake Project is presently under construction and is being placed in tandem between Hartwell and Clark Hill, two existing multipurpose hydropower plants on the Savannah River. System operational simulations were performed in support of a feasibility study for the installation of pump turbines at Russell, using a version of the Corps of Engineers HEC-5C computer program modified for system power and pumped storage. Information developed from the simulations include system hydropower production, pumping energy requirements, daily reservoir pool fluctuations, and reservoir elevation statistics. This information was useful in judging the effects of the addition of pumped storage on system hydropower production and reservoir recreation useability, as well as in ascertaining efficient system operational methods.

Download or read book A Generalized Simulation Model for Reservoir System Analysis written by Richard J. Hayes and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper overviews the general features of computer program 'HEC-5, Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems', with emphasis on the capabilities of the most recent release of HEC-5, Version 7.2, dated March 1991. HEC-5 can simulate the essential features and operation goals and constraints of simple or complex systems with simulation intervals ranging from minutes to one month. Single event flood analysis and period of record conservation analysis may be accomplished with the model. Flood control analysis includes balanced system operation for downstream damage centers with consideration of forecasted local flows and hydrologic routing. In addition, induced surcharge operation based on spillway gate regulation schedules can be simulated. Hydropower analysis may include run-of-river, peaking, and pumped storage plants as well as system power operation. Water supply simulation can include reservoir and downstream flow requirements in addition to divers ions and return flows. Water Quality analysis can include simulation of temperature, dissolved oxygen, up to three conservative and up to three nonconservative constituents.

Download or read book Entrainment Descriptions for Mathematical Modeling of Pumped storage Inflows in Reservoirs written by Philip J. W. Roberts and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During hydropower generation and pumpback operations of pumped-storage projects, inflows are introduced into the reservoir system. These jetlike inflows often cause considerable entrainment of ambient water. The entrainment process can have a strong influence on the verical distribution of reservoir water quality when pumped-storage inflow jets are discharged into a stratified reservoir. The objective of this study was to develop algorithms to describe the pumped-storage inflow entrainment process for use in reservoir water quality models. Pumped-storage inflow jets fall into two classes: strongly or weakly buoyant. The former class has been fairly extensively studied, and well-established mathematical models exist to predict their behavior. For this case, incorporation into a reservoir thermal model simply required adaptation of existing code. For the latter case, however, that of weakly buoyant jets, it was found that little information existed of either a theoretical or experimental nature. For that reason, an extensive series of experiments of a fundamental nature were performed on weakly buoyant jets into arbitrary stratification. The results were then reduced to a form suitable for inclusion into reservoir water quality simulation models. The developed algorithms were incorporated into an existing reservoir thermal simulation code, and a test application was made for Carters Lake, a Corps of Engineers pumped-storage project in Georgia. Keywords: Entrainment; Inflow jets; Mathematical models; Pumped-storage reservoirs.

Book excerpt: Over the last 15 years, The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) has been developing, applying, and distributing computer programs dealing with various aspects of hydrologic engineering, including reservoir analysis. The Center has developed several models for the simulation of reservoir operation and has supported the development of a water quality model for reservoirs and rivers. This paper presents review of model development and an overview of the capabilities and types of applications for the most recent computer programs, 'Simulation of Flood Control and Conservation Systems' (HEC-5) and 'Water Quality for River-Reservoir Systems' (WQRRS). Also, current research and development dealing with reservoir analysis are described. (Author).

Download or read book Interactive Nonstructural Flood control Planning written by David T. Ford and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goals of nonstructural flood-control planning are formulation, evaluation, selection, and implementation of a practicable management plan that provides optimal protection from the adverse effects of flooding. Many alternative flood-control measures can be dismissed by the water resources planner on the basis of judgement, but a substantial number will require detailed analysis before a suitable plan can be selected. This analysis is an iterative process, requiring input from the planar at each step. Software developed at the Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) allows efficient data storage in a structure-oriented data bank and provides for selective retrieval and manipulation of the data from an interactive terminal. Thus the planner is able to propose nonstructural measures and to evaluate rapidly the economic and technical feasibility of those measures in a iterative scheme that allows the required input from the planner. An application of the interactive plan evaluation software is presented. Steps in creating the data bank are defined, and use of the software for subsequent accessing and manipulating the data for plan evaluation is discussed. (Author).

Download or read book Application of the Finite Element Method to Vertically Stratified Hydrodynamic Flow and Water Quality written by Robert C. MacArthur and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer program RMA-7 has been expanded to be able to simulate density induced flows and water quality conditions typically found in deep reservoirs. The mathematical basis for the program and methods of implementing the code for various kinds of flow are discussed. Results from two different applications are presented. The first example simualtes flow conditions that were measured in a physical model of a deep reservoir. Results are also included for simulations of the circulation, temperature and dissolved oxygen concentrations for Lake Taneycomo, Missouri. Comparison of measured and computed results from both applications shows that the RMA-7 model provides reasonably accurate results for both flow circulating and water quality. (Author).
