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.

    Backroad Connections Pty Ltd ABN: 64 090 245 382 [email protected] (0407) 486-651 www.backroad.com.au Implications for the Tasmanian electricity system of the proposal to restore Lake Pedder July 2019 Overview The paper analyses the implication for the Tasmanian electricity system of the proposal by the Lake Pedder Restoration Committee (LPRC) to restore the original Lake Pedder. It provides information on the current contribution of the Gordon Scheme to Tasmanian electricity generation and energy storage and provides some information and estimates on alternatives to replace this generation if the original Lake Pedder was restored. Background The original Lake Pedder was flooded in 1972 as part of an expansion of the Tasmanian hydro-electric scheme. The flooded area created is still officially known as Lake Pedder although the LPRC prefer the name Huon- Serpentine Impoundment. In this paper we will use the term ‘new Lake Pedder’. The new Lake Pedder at 242 sq km is vastly bigger than the original Lake Pedder at 10 sq km. The new Lake Pedder does not have its own hydro-electric generation. Its purpose is to trap and raise the level of the water that would otherwise flow down the Huon and Serpentine rivers. The water is raised to the level where it flows through a channel created at McPartlan Pass into the Gordon Dam and contributes to the storage and generation of the Gordon Scheme. As a result the level of the new Lake Pedder does not vary more than a few metres. This makes it more visually attractive and more suitable for recreational use than the adjacent Gordon Reservoir.

  • 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.

    HYDROELECTRICITY FACT SHEET 1 An overview of hydroelectricity in Australia About hydroelectricity in Australia → In 2011, hydroelectric plants produced a total of 67 per cent of Australia’s total clean energy generation1, enough energy to power the equivalent of 2.8 million average Australian homes. → Australia’s 124 operating hydro power plants generated 6.5 per cent of Australia’s annual electricity supply in 20112. → The Australian hydro power industry has already attracted over one billion dollars of investment to further develop Australian hydro power projects3. → Opportunities for further growth in the hydro power industry are principally in developing mini hydro plants or refurbishing, upgrading and modernising Australia’s current fleet. The Clean Energy Council’s most recent hydro report provides an overview of the industry and highlights opportunities for further growth. Climate Change and Energy Efficiency Minister Greg Combet stated: “This is a welcome report and highlights the importance of iconic Australian power generation projects such as the Snowy Mountains Scheme and Tasmanian hydro power. This report reminds us of the importance of the 20 per cent Renewable Energy Target, and the need for a carbon price to provide certainty to investors. Reinvestment in ageing hydro power assets will form an important part of the future energy market and efforts to reduce carbon pollution.” Source: Hydro Tasmania Hydro Source: 1 Clean Energy Council Clean Energy Australia Report 2011 pg. 28) 3 ibid 2 Clean Energy Council Hydro Sector Report 2010 pg 14 The Clean Energy Council is the peak body representing Australia’s clean energy sector.
