Download or read book The Watts Bar Steam Plant written by Tennessee Valley Authority and published by . This book was released on 1949 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Watts Bar Steam Plant is the first fuel-burning electric power plant constructed by the TVA. The first two of its four 60,000-kilowatt generating units were placed in commercial operation in February and March 1942 at a time when the products of industry and agriculture in the valley region were critical items in the war effort. These units increased the continuous energy capacity of the TVA system to approximately 830,000 kilowatts and the system peak to about 1,100,000 kilowatts. The further addition of Cherokee, Chatuge, and Nottely Dams and the down-river units raised the continuous energy of the system to 960,000 kilowatts and the peak capability to about 1,300,000 kilowatts by the fall of 1942. The third Watts Bar Steam Plant unit began operation in February 1943 and the fourth in April 1945 - important factors in keeping ahead of system demands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Johnsonville Steam Plant is the second steam-electric project to be built by TVA. The first-Watts Bar Steam Plant-was built as a part of TVA's first emergency program of the World War II period. Construction of the Johnsonville Steam Plant, with generating units of 125,000-kilowatt capability, began in May 1949. It was the first of seven large steam-electric projects constructed over a span of eight and a half years including the Korean War period. This mammoth building program resulted mainly from the increased power demands of the Atomic Energy Commission and other Federal defense agencies. Additional electric energy was required also by the expanding programs of private industry and the increased needs of commercial and domestic consumers in TVA's service area.

Download or read book The Kentucky Project written by Tennessee Valley Authority and published by . This book was released on 1951 with total page 916 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kentucky Dam, the lowermost and the largest of the multiple-purpose projects of the Tennessee River system, is the key to effective control of discharges from the Tennessee, the largest tributary of the Ohio River. Located at river mile 22.4, Kentucky Dam is only 67.4 river-miles above Cairo, Illinois, and its large reservoir with more than 4,000,000 acre-feet of flood storage capacity occupies as strategic position for the reduction of flood crests on the lower Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The navigation lock at this project forms the lower gateway to the 184-mile long Kentucky Reservoir, one of a chain of nine reservoirs extending a year-round 9-foot navigation channel more than 600 miles to Knoxville, Tennessee, and connects this system of reservoirs to the major inland waterways of the great central Mississippi Valley with outlets for navigation to the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico.

Book excerpt: Cherokee is the tenth major hydro project authorized for construction of the Tennessee Valley Authority and the seventh to be completed. The dam is located at mile 52.3 on the Holston River which unites with the French Broad River just above Knoxville to form the Tennessee River. This main tributary project was the first of several TVA dams authorized under World War II emergency program and constructed on an emergency basis. Although operated primarily for power during the war emergency, Cherokee forms an integral unit in the overall system of water control projects in the Tennessee Valley, and under normal multiple purpose operation aids in reducing main-river flood stages and in stabilizing low water flows.
