  • Implications for Tasmanian Electricity System of The
    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.

  • Wellington Park Social Values and Landscape Assessment Report
    Wellington Park Management Trust WELLINGTON PARK SOCIAL VALUES AND LANDSCAPE – AN ASSESSMENT Prepared by McConnell, A. March 2012 Wellington Park Management Trust, GPO Box 503, Hobart, Tasmania, 7001. Cover – main photo: Mountain Snow [source WPMT] inset photos: :R - Sleeping Beauty [source WPMT] L - Fred Lakin at Lakins Lair [photo: A. McConnell] Explanatory Note This report has been prepared by the Wellington Park Management Trust as part of a multi-stage assessment of the landscape values of Wellington Park. This assessment focuses on the social values of Wellington Park, in particular those which relate to landscape. The assessment is based on a ‘Community Values Survey’, undertaken in late 2010-early 2011 by means of a short questionnaire that the greater Hobart community generally was encouraged to complete. The geographic scope of the study was the whole of Wellington Park. The aim of this study is to understand to what extent, and in which ways, the community, in particular the Greater Hobart community, value Wellington Park. A core part of the assessment was to assess how the Wellington Park landscape is appreciated in order to contribute to an understanding of the full range of landscape values that are being assessed in the broader Wellington Park Landscape Assessment. Wellington Park has acknowledged important landscape values which have applied since the early days of European settlement of Hobart, yet these have not been previously assessed formally or in detail. The main aim of the overall Wellington Park Landscape Assessment therefore is to provide important landscape values information to assist in managing the Park to meet the objectives of the Wellington Park Management Plan.

  • Conditions Favouring Growth of Fresh Water Biofouling in Hydraulic Canals and the Impact of Biofouling on Pipe Flows
    Conditions Favouring Growth of Fresh Water Biofouling in Hydraulic Canals and the Impact of Biofouling on Pipe Flows By Xiao Lin Li BEng(Hons.) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters University of Tasmania October 2013 Declaration of Originality This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of candidates knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. …………………………………… Xiao Lin Li Date: 12/10/2013 Statement Concerning Authority to Access This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. …………………………………... Xiao Lin Li Date: 12/10/2013 ii Abstract Abstract Biofouling increases frictional resistance and slows the water flow in fresh water canals and pipes. It results in up to 10% reduction in the flow carrying capacity in hydropower canals in Tasmania, Australia. This project investigated the effect of colour on the growth of biofouling in open channels and the impact of biofouling in pipes and penstocks. The effect of substratum colour on the growth of biofouling was studied by submerging mild steel plates painted with four different coloured epoxy coatings in fresh water. The plates were placed in a concrete lined canal for a period of time to allow biofouling to grow. Results show that black was the favoured colour for the growth of biofouling whereas the white plates developed the least amount.
