Book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 1 Pacific Northwest Region

Download or read book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 1 Pacific Northwest Region written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preliminary inventory and analysis procedures provide a comprehensive assessment of the undeveloped hydroelectric power potential in the US and determines which sites merit more thorough investigation. Over 5400 existing structures have been identified as having the physical potential to add hydropower plants or increase hydropower output thereby increasing our present hydropower capacity from a total of 64,000 MW to 158,000 MW and our energy from 280,000 GWH to 503,000 GWH. While the physical potential for this increase is clearly available, some of these projects will undoubtedly not satisfy more-detailed economic analysis as well as the institutional and environmental criteria which will be imposed upon them. Summary tables include estimates of the potential capacity and energy at each site in the inventory. In some cases, individual projects may be site alternatives to others in the same general location, when only one can be considered for hydropower development. The number of sites per state is identified, but specific information is included for only the sites in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in this first volume.

Book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 2 Pacific Southwest Region

Download or read book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 2 Pacific Southwest Region written by Wayne R. Sigleo and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources (PIHR) a preliminary product of the National Hydropower Study (NHS), was published in six (6) volumes (regions) to facilitate reproduction and distribution. The PIHR contains general as well as site-specific information on our nation's hydroelectric power potential. It gives estimates of existing, incremental and undeveloped hydropower potential by state and region and furthermore, breaks these categories down into size ranges of small-scale (.05-15 MW) intermediate (15-25 MW) and large-scale (greater than 25MW) sites. Because the inventory is a preliminary product of the NHS, it may be suspended at some future date. Conservative assumptions have been made in the screening and analysis process to avoid eliminating any potentially feasible sites. The current summary tables provide the best estimated to date, but to some degree, may overstate the actual capacity and energy which could be developed.

Book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 5 Southeast Region

Download or read book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 5 Southeast Region written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Southeast region, the maximum physical potential for all sites exceeds 48,000 MW with an estimated average annual energy of more than 137,000 GWH. By comparison, these values represent about 9% of both the total potential capacity and hydroelectric energy estimated for the entire US. Of the total capacity estimated for the region, 11,800 MW has been installed. The remainder (36,200 MW) is the maximum which could be developed by upgrading and expanding existing projects (13,000 MW), and by installing new hydroelectric power capacity at all potentially feasible, undeveloped sites (23,200 MW). Small-scale facilities account for some 2% of the region's total installed capacity, but another 700 MW could be added to these and other small water-resource projects. In addition, 1100 MW could be installed at potentially feasible, undeveloped small-scale sites. The small-scale resource varies considerably, with the states of North Carolina and South Carolina having the largest potential for incremental development at existing projects in the Southeast region. The Southeast region is composed of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.

Book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 4 Lake Central Region

Download or read book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 4 Lake Central Region written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The estimates of existing, incremental and the undeveloped hydropower potential for all states in the various regions of the country are presented. In the Lake Central region, the maximum physical potential for all sites exceeds 26,000 MW with an estimated average annual energy of more than 75,000 GWH. By comparison, these values represent about 5% of both the total potential capacity and hydroelectric energy estimated for the entire US. Of the total capacity estimated for the region, 2600 MW has been installed. The remainder (23,600 MW) is the maximum which could be developed by upgrading and expanding existing projects (15,800 MW), and by installing new hydroelectric power capacity at all potentially feasible, undeveloped sites (7800 MW). Small-scale facilities account for some 24% of the region's total installed capacity, but another 900 MW could be added to these and other small water-resource projects. In addition, 900 MW could be installed at potentially feasible, undeveloped small-scale sites. The small-scale resource varies considerably, with the states of Michigan and Wisconsin having the largest potential for incremental development at existing projects in the Lake Central region. This Lake Central region is composed of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, and Iowa.

Book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 3 Mid Continent Region

Download or read book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 3 Mid Continent Region written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Corps of Engineers' assessment of the nation's hydroelectric resources provides a current and comprehensive estimate of the potential for incremental or new generation at existing dams and other water resource projects, as well as for undeveloped sites in the US. The demand for hydroelectric power is addressed and various related policy and technical considerations are investigated to determine the incentives, constraints, and impacts of developing hydropower to meet a portion of the future energy demands. The comprehensive data represent the effort of the Corps of Engineers based on site-specific analysis and evaluation. Summary tables include estimates of the potential capacity and energy at each site in the inventory. The number of sites and potential capacity in each state are identified, but specific detailed information is included for sites in Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming.

Download or read book National Hydroelectric Power Resources Study Preliminary Inventory of Hydropower Resources Volume 6 Northeast Region written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Northeast region, the physical potential for all sites exceeds 33,000 MW of capacity with an estimated average annual energy of some 153,000 GWH. By comparison, the available data represent about 6% of the total capacity and 11% of the hydroelectric energy potential estimated for the entire US. Of the total capacity estimated for the region, 6100 MW has been installed. The remainder (27,200 MW, excluding the undeveloped capacity in the New England States) is the maximum which could be developed by upgrading and expanding existing projects (18,700 MW), and by installing new hydroelectric power capacity at all potentially feasible, undeveloped sites (8500 MW). Small-scale facilities account for about 15% of the region's total installed capacity, but another 1800 MW could be added to these and other small water-resource projects. In addition, 500 MW could be installed at potentially feasible, undeveloped small-scale sites. The small-scale resource varies considerably, with the states of New York, Maine, and New Hampshire having the largest potential for incremental development at existing projects in the Northeast region. West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine comprise the Northeast region.
