Brandner 1 1 Australian Maritime College, University of Tasmania, Launceston 7250, Tasmania, Australia; [email protected] (J.M.W.); [email protected] (P.A.B.) 2 School of Engineering & ICT, University of Tasmania, Hobart 7005, Tasmania, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +61-3-6324-9489 Academic Editor: K.T. Chau Received: 24 February 2017; Accepted: 31 March 2017; Published: 7 April 2017 Abstract: The increase in contributions from non base load renewables, such as wind and solar, can have adverse effects on the stability of an electrical grid. In this study, the possibility of rapidly loading a Francis turbine from a tail water depression (TWD) mode for providing additional system frequency control is investigated. Based on the analysis of full-scale TWD test results and key findings from the transient testing of a micro-hydro scale turbine unit, a detailed description of the TWD transition process is given. The formulation of an improved turbine model for use in one-dimensional hydro-electric plant models is presented with simulation results compared to full-scale data. The analytical model, which calculates output power according to the conservation of angular momentum and identified sources of loss, is used in parallel with full-scale and model scale test observations to elucidate the events and mechanisms occurring during this proposed transition. The output response, in terms of active power, was found to be highly dependent on guide vane opening rate in both full-scale and model tests.

  • Water Management in the Anthony–Pieman Hydropower Scheme
    Water management in the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme Pieman Sustainability Review June 2015 FACT SHEET Background The Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme provides a highly valued and reliable source of electricity. The total water storage of the hydropower scheme is 512 gigalitres and the average annual generation is 2367 gigawatt hours. Construction of the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme has resulted in creation of water storages (lakes) and alterations to the natural flow of existing rivers and streams. The Pieman Sustainability Review is a review of operational, social and environmental aspects of the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme that are influenced by Hydro Tasmania. This fact sheet elaborates on water management issues presented in the summary report, available at http://www.hydro.com.au/pieman-sustainability-review Water storage levels in the Anthony–Pieman Water levels have been monitored at these storages since hydropower scheme their creation in stages between 1981 and 1991. The Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme includes eight Headwater storages: Lake Mackintosh and Lake water storages, classified as headwater storages (Lakes Murchison Mackintosh and Murchison), diversion storages (Lakes Lakes Mackintosh and Murchison are the main headwater Henty and Newton and White Spur Pond) and run-of-river storages for the Anthony–Pieman hydropower scheme. storages (Lakes Rosebery, Plimsoll and Pieman). Lakes The water level fluctuates over the entire operating range Murchison, Henty and Newton and White Spur Pond do not from Normal Minimum Operating Level (NMOL) to Full release water directly to a power station; rather they are Supply Level (FSL) (Figures 1, 2). used to transfer water to other storages within the scheme.

  • Tas Catchment Selection.Indd
    Technical Report No. 1 Selecting catchments for the retrospective study of land-use and water quality September 2007 Published September 2007 This publication is available for download as a PDF from www.landscapelogic.org.au LANDSCAPE LOGIC is a research hub under the Commonwealth Environmental Research Facilities scheme, managed by the Department of Environment, Water Heritage and the Arts. It is a partnership between: • six regional organisations – the North Central, North East & Goulburn–Broken Catchment Management Authorities in Victoria and the North, South and Cradle Coast Natural Resource Management organisations in Tasmania; • five research institutions – University of Tasmania, Australian National University, RMIT University, Charles Sturt University and NORTH CENTRAL Catchment CSIRO; and Management Authority • state land management agencies in Tasmania and Victoria – the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries & Water, Forestry Tasmania and the Victorian Department of Sustainability & Environment. The purpose of Landscape Logic is to work in partnership with regional natural resource managers to develop decision-making approaches that improve the effectiveness of environmental management. Landscape Logic aims to: 1. Develop better ways to organise existing knowledge and assumptions about links between land management actions and environmental outcomes. 2. Improve our understanding of the links between land management actions and environmental outcomes through historical studies of the effects of private and public investment on water quality and native vegetation condition. Selecting catchments for the retrospective study of land-use and water quality By Bill Cotching, UTAS Summary This report describes the criteria and process use to select Tasmanian catchments in a study of the relationships between land use, land management and water quality.

  • Hydro 4 Water Storage
    TERM OF REFERENCE 3: STATE-WIDE WATER STORAGE MANAGEMENT The causes of the floods which were active in Tasmania over the period 4-7 June 2016 including cloud-seeding, State-wide water storage management and debris management. 1 CONTEXT 1.1 Cause of the Floods (a) It is clear that the flooding that affected northern Tasmania (including the Mersey, Forth, Ouse and South Esk rivers) during the relevant period was directly caused by “a persistent and very moist north-easterly airstream” which resulted in “daily [rainfall] totals [that were] unprecedented for any month across several locations in the northern half of Tasmania”, in some cases in excess of 200mm.1 (b) This paper addresses Hydro Tasmania’s water storage management prior to and during the floods. 1.2 Overview (a) In 2014, Tasmania celebrated 100 years of hydro industrialisation and the role it played in the development of Tasmania. Hydro Tasmania believes that understanding the design and purpose of the hydropower infrastructure that was developed to bring electricity and investment to the state is an important starting point to provide context for our submission. The Tasmanian hydropower system design and operation is highly complex and is generally not well understood in the community. We understand that key stakeholder groups are seeking to better understand the role that hydropower operations may have in controlling or contributing to flood events in Tasmania. (b) The hydropower infrastructure in Tasmania was designed and installed for the primary purpose of generating hydro-electricity. Flood mitigation was not a primary objective in the design of Hydro Tasmania’s dams when the schemes were developed, and any flood mitigation benefit is a by-product of their hydro- generation operation.
