Book excerpt: Prepared by the Task Committee on Guidelines for Retirement of Dams and Hydroelectric Facilities of the Hydropower Committee of the Energy Division of ASCE. This report describes techniques, methods, and procedures applicable to the retirement of dams and hydroelectric facilities. These guidelines identify types of data options; describe available engineering, environmental, and economic methods for assessing, quantifying and implementing retirement; and identify techniques for comparing and evaluating retirement costs and benefits. Topics include: data collection and analysis, studies of retirement, engineering and environmental assessment, sediment management, and review of selected case studies.

Book excerpt: Hydropower provides a complete discussion of the most up-to-date considerations of this method of creating renewable energy. After introducing the method’s history, the author explores various considerations for engineers, planners and managers who need to determine the best placement and size of a plant. The book then presents various types of hydropower systems, such as Run-of-River Schemes and various types of Dam and Turbines, also considering the important economic, environmental and geological impacts of each. Those involved in the planning, design and management of hydropower systems, such as engineers, researchers, managers and policymakers will find this book a very valuable and insightful resource. Explores different types of dams and turbines set alongside easy-to-understand diagrams, such as Embankment Dams, Concrete Arch Dams, Reaction Turbines and Francis Turbines Considers various economic and environmental factors significant for this type of project, such as resettlement, biodiversity and greenhouse gases Discusses best practices for locating a hydropower site and how to make important decisions regarding placement and method

This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bulletin is intended as a general document aimed at a wide technical audience involved with or affected by hydropower. Basic background data and some statistics are presented, with specific reference to hydro-electricity production, hydropower dams, hydropower plants, in operation or under construction. Key aspects of hydropower are discussed. Data are presented about typical capital and both internal and external operating costs. Environmental and social impacts are discussed and reference is made to the impact reservoirs have on greenhouse gas emissions. A section is dedicated to the exploitation of tidal energy by means of barrage systems. The current extent of hydropower development and the influence of policies aimed to favour the development of renewable energies are also discussed. Reference sources of information, on hydropower in general and interesting case-histories, are provided. Le Bulletin se veut un document général destiné à un large public technique impliqué ou affecté par l'hydroélectricité. Des données de base et quelques statistiques sont présentées, avec une référence spécifique à la production hydroélectrique, aux barrages hydroélectriques, aux centrales hydroélectriques, en fonctionnement ou en construction. Les principaux aspects de l'hydroélectricité sont discutés. Les données sont présentées sur le capital type et les coûts de fonctionnement internes et externes. Les impacts environnementaux et sociaux sont discutés et il est fait référence à l'impact des réservoirs sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Une section est dédiée à l'exploitation de l'énergie marémotrice au moyen de systèmes de barrage. L'ampleur actuelle du développement hydroélectrique et l'influence des politiques visant à favoriser le développement des énergies renouvelables sont également abordées. Des sources d'information de référence, sur l'hydroélectricité en général et des études de cas intéressantes, sont fournies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of a hydroelectric plant, along with an installation of transformation of potential energy of water into electricity, is an activity that is not standardized. Each new project is an interesting engineering challenge, and teams need to work in different conditions of each site, integrated to design a functional, economical and environmentally sustainable project. The development of a project, here understood as the plant itself, the reservoir, the maneuver substation and the associated transmission line, is a multidisciplinary activity that encompasses areas of civil engineering, geology, mechanical and electrical engineering, environmental engineering, economic engineering, construction and assembly, and the engineering of operation and maintenance of civil works and electromechanical equipment. The book is organized to facilitate the performance of professional life of the new generations of engineers who will join the Electric Sector, or in other sectors that demand the knowledge regarding hydraulic structures. The book is a simple manual providing the practical step-by-step procedure for designing hydroelectric plants, including legislation, with a general view of the project.
