The article forgot to mention that hydro is 2.68 Quads or almost 4 times the wind energy output! The article also conveniently forgets to mention that you need backup power for wind and that’s usually natural gas, so some of the so-called savings in coal generation is made up by natural gas generation.) Check Out the Best Energy Use Chart Ever, 2009 Edition GOOD Blog > Andrew Price on August 24, 2010, http://www.good.is/post/check-out-the-best-energy-use-chart-ever-2009- edition/ (Too enlarge chart, click and drag a corner) See larger version attached 1 Copy obtained from the National Performance of Dams Program: http://npdp.stanford.edu Every year, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory produces the U.S. Energy flow chart. The designers at the other end of my desk could probably improve on the color scheme, but it is still the best single chart for understanding energy use in the United States. The 2009 edition was just released. It's above, and you can get a big, legible version here. On the left you have all the primary sources for the energy we use, by percent. Flowing from left to right, the chart shows how the energy these sources create gets used. The "rejected energy," by the way, refers to energy that's lost and not used, like energy released as waste heat from a power plant. It may look like we're not using very much renewable energy, but comparing this year to last year reveals some positive trends. Total energy use fell again and coal, as a percentage of energy production sources, dropped to 19.76 percent, down from 22.42 percent last year. • Energy use in the residential, commercial, industrial and transportation arenas all declined by .22, .09, 2.16 and .88 quads, respectively. • Wind power increased dramatically in 2009 to.70 quads of primary energy compared to .51 in 2008. Most of that energy is tied directly to electricity generation and thus helps decrease the use of coal for electricity production. Another interesting thing to note here is just how much rejected energy there is. If there's room to improve the country's energy efficiency, which currently stands at an unimpressive 42.48 percent, we wouldn't have to produce nearly as much in the first place.

Why does an organization like Consumer Advocate Inc. think that the USBR has been asleep for 33 years???) Reclamation: Dam safety not at issue SDS critics cite a 1977 safety report; bureau says problems fixed. By CHRIS WOODKA | August 24, 2010 | chieftain.com Pueblo Dam remains safe under its current level of operation, the Bureau of Reclamation says. “The dam is checked every year by civil engineers, hydrologists and geologists, and is continuously monitored,” said Roy Vaughan, manager of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project. “There are 150 points of measurable data.” Vaughan made his report to the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District last week following some media reports in the past few weeks that aired concerns about the safety of Pueblo Dam. A group called Consumer Advocate Inc., run by Michael Satterfield, raised questions of the dam’s safety based on a 1977 report by W.A. Wahler. The report found safety flaws in the dam just two years after it was completed. In an open letter in the Colorado Springs Gazette earlier this month, Satterfield wrote: “It has gone on to become one of the most safety modified dams in the country. Several of the problems cannot be fixed by additional engineering. Wahler’s report states that the soil under the dam is unstable and undermines the stability of the dam itself.” The same report has been cited by Colorado Springs Councilman Tom Gallagher in his claims that Pueblo Dam cannot be operated for its designated purposes, much less for the proposed Southern Delivery System, which Gallagher opposes. Those comments brought sharp rebukes from Colorado Springs Mayor Lionel Rivera and SDS program director John Fredell. “Since the Wahler report you cited, written in 1977, the safety of dam program was officially implemented in 1978 with the passage of the Reclamation Safety of Dams Act and several technological updates have been made on Pueblo Dam,” Fredell wrote in a letter to Satterfield. Fredell goes on to say that SDS — a 50-mile pipeline serving Colorado Springs, Security, Fountain and Pueblo West — would actually lower Lake Pueblo levels by an average of 6 feet, according to the environmental impact statement prepared by the bureau. Reclamation has updated its publication, “Safe Then; Safe Now, a Summary of Pueblo Dam’s history.” It 2 Copy obtained from the National Performance of Dams Program: http://npdp.stanford.edu addresses the Wahler report, saying that two terms in the report have been “widely misused and misunderstood.” The Wahler report calls Pueblo Dam a “high hazard dam” and talks about “seepage.” Reclamation responded: • “‘High hazard dam’ is a classification term used in reference to dams located above populated areas, such as Pueblo, and does not indicate anything about a dam’s overall performance. • “‘Seepage’ describes the water that moves through all dams. Pueblo Dam has features to control and collect the seepage in a safe manner and equipment that monitors seepage through the structure.” In a 2000 updated study on the safety of dams, Reclamation concluded that 17,000 Puebloans could be at risk if Pueblo Dam were to fail. The scenario would involve a “probable maximum flood” that would be many times greater than the largest recorded flood on the Arkansas River in 1921. Since 1977, several improvements have been made on the dam, Reclamation said. In 1981, a stability berm was added to the base of the northern earthen embankment. In 1998, drain pipes were installed downstream of the north embankment to collect and monitor seepage that occurs at high water elevations. In 1998-99, Reclamation added a massive concrete “door stop” in the stilling basin and tied the foundation of Pueblo Dam into underlying rock with long metal rock bolts to prevent possible slippage of the concrete buttresses in the middle of the dam. The Reclamation report also notes that the full capacity of the dam, almost 350,000 acre- feet, is not used in order to provide flood protection for Pueblo. From April 15-Oct. 30, 93,000 acre-feet of space is available for flood control, and water levels in the dam have to be adjusted in spring if they are too high to maintain that cushion. Work starts soon to fix leaky Idaho dam August 24, 2010, spokesman.com OROFINO, Idaho — An engineering firm will begin work soon to repair leaks at north-central Idaho’s Dworshak Dam. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has hired Jacobs Engineering of Seattle to inject urethane in joints between some of the huge concrete blocks that make up the dam. The Lewiston Tribune reports that water stops between six of the 51 concrete monoliths that make up the dam are leaking badly. Engineers say the leaks don’t threaten the structural integrity of the dam, but they do make it more difficult for officials to monitor water slipping beneath the structure. Water leaking under a dam can cause tremendous uplift pressure that can, in extreme cases, undermine the safety of the structure. The engineering firm will start with just two of the leaky water stops. If the fix is successful, corps officials will seek funding to inject urethane into other leaking joints. Cash for the $1.3 million job comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. “This is a world-class engineering effort. This is the first time in the world we know of this material has been used on a high-head dam,” said Allan Pomraning, dam safety project manager for the Walla Walla District. Work will begin in September, Pomraning said. “The whole idea is to get the worst of the worst,” he said. The urethane works by soaking up water and then expanding to seal the joints. The expansion process takes about a month. The corps is also working on a $1.9 million project to install additional instruments at the dam to measure uplift pressure and stress on cracks in the concrete. That money also comes from the federal stimulus package. Both contracts are part of the risk reduction measures outlined by the corps two years ago when it released a dam safety assessment for Dworshak. That assessment rated Dworshak a 2 on a scale of 1 to 4. A 2 classification indicates the dam is “unsafe or potentially unsafe.” Still, corps officials say despite the rating Dworshak Dam is safe, and that it received the low score not because there is a real threat of failure but because if it were to fail, the loss of human life and property would be high. (The END!) Contract to remove Elwha dams goes to Montana firm The National Park Service has signed a $27 million contract with a Bozeman, Mont., company to take out the two dams on the Elwha River in the largest dam-removal project in U.S.

  • Comparative Performance Evaluation of Pelton Wheel and Cross Flow Turbines for Power Generation
    EUROPEAN MECHANICAL SCIENCE Research Paper e-ISSN: 2587-1110 Comparative Performance Evaluation of Pelton Wheel and Cross Flow Turbines for Power Generation Oyebode O. O.1* and Olaoye J. O.2 1Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Kwara State University, Malete, Kwara State, Nigeria. 2Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. ORCID: Oyebode (0000-0003-1094-1149) Abstract The performance of two micro hydro power turbines (Pelton Wheel and Cross Flow Turbines) were evaluated at the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) dam. The Dam has a net head of 4 m, flow rate of 0.017m3 and theoretical hydropower energy of 668W. The two turbines were tested and the optimized value of operating conditions namely; angle of inclination (15o above tangent, tangential and 15o below tangent), height to impact point (200mm, 250mm and 300mm) and length to impact point (50mm, 100mm and 150mm) were pre-set at their various levels for both Turbines. The optimum values of the process output or measured parameters were determined statistically using a 33X2 factorial experiment in three replicates. An optimum Turbine speed (538.38rpm) in off load condition was achieved at 250mm height to impact point, 150mm length to impact point and angle at tangential inclination. Similar combination also yielded an optimum turbine torque of 46.16kNm for Pelton Wheel Turbine. For the Crossflow Turbine, an optimum turbine speed of 330.09rpm was achieved by pre-setting 250mm height to impact point, 100mm length to impact point and 15º below tangent. Same combination also yielded an optimum turbine torque of 39.07kNm.

  • Harvesting Energy from In-Pipe Hydro Systems at Urban and Building Scale
    International Journal of Smart Grid and Clean Energy Harvesting energy from in-pipe hydro systems at urban and building scale Marco Casini * Department of Planning, Design, and Technology of Architecture (PDTA), Sapienza University of Rome, Via Flaminia 72, 00196 – Rome, Italy Abstract In addition to photovoltaic and wind systems, nowadays in-pipe water to wire power systems are becoming particularly interesting for the integration of renewable resources at urban and building scale because of the potential to harness clean energy from excess head pressure in urban and domestic water pipelines. Able to operate across a wide range of head and flow conditions, these particular micro hydro power systems can be deployed in municipalities, energy-intensive industries and agricultural irrigation districts providing a consistent amount of clean and continuous energy without the typical intermittency of wind and solar and at the same time helping in pipelines management and maintenance. The article presents an overview of the different types of in-pipe hydro systems available on the market and illustrates their possible applications at the urban and building scale and the benefits achievable in terms of energy production compared to other renewable such as photovoltaic and wind systems. Keywords: In-pipe hydro systems, energy harvesting, renewable energy, small hydro, building integrated renewable energy, renewable energy at urban scale, distributed energy 1. Introduction Hydropower is a mature and cost-competitive renewable energy source that plays a strategic essential role in XXI century electricity mix, contributing to more than 16% of electricity generation worldwide (more than 3500 TWh) and about 85% of global renewable electricity [1], [2].

If the City agrees to all liabilities should an accident occur, then the area can be open to the public.) By Kate Ramunni, 12/23/2008, ConnPost.com SHELTON -- The owner of the Shelton Canal Co. is again appealing to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to relocate the portion of his property that is open to the public. As part of the company's license, and as a condition of the zoning approval it received more than two decades ago, a portion of the property at the end of Canal Street must be open to the public for recreation. It has over the years been used for fishing. McCallum Industries co-owner Joseph Szarmach has filed a request for another hearing on the issue, a month after FERC reversed its initial approval of the relocation. That action came after the state Department of Environmental Protection appealed the initial approval. "We are going through this process to amend our license because it is standard procedure; however, we continue to believe it is our right to close the canal area due to safety concerns," Szarmach said, most notably its proximity to the dam. "The DEP, at the city's urging, is advocating full and unfettered access to a pool of water into which we dump 34,000 gallons of water per second," Szarmach said.
