Blanton .)onald W. Linebaugh Authors Dennis B. Blanton William Childress Jonathan Danz Leslie Mitchell Joseph Schuldenrein Jesse Zinn December 16, 1994 ABSTRACT Sites 44PY7, 44PY43, and 44PY152 on the southern shore of Leesville Lake in Pittsylvania County were subjected to archaeological evaluation. Sites 44PY7 and 44PY152 were confirmed to contain Early ArchaicIPaleoindian horizons buried beneath 1.5 to 1.8 m of alluvium. Geoarchaeological analyses and a series of radiocarbon dates make the 44PY152 deposits among the best-documented early Holocene contexts in the region. Portions of these components have been lost to erosion, but each retains significant research potential. Site 44PY43 is a remnant of a Late Woodland village. Trenching failed to locate a palisade line, but numerous post features and possible pits were identified. This site also retains potential for recovering significant information on Late Woodland settlement in this section of the Roanoke River valley. Project results are discussed in the context of prevailing settlementlsubsistencemodels fbr the region. REPORT CONTRIBUTORS Authors: Dennis B.

  • Some Dam – Hydro Newstm I and Other Stuff
    7/01/2011 Some Dam – Hydro NewsTM i And Other Stuff Quote of Note: “What other people think of you is none of your business.” - - Regina Brett “Good wine is a necessity of life.” - -Thomas Jefferson Ron’s wine pick of the week: Mirabile Syrah 2006 - Sicily, Italy “No nation was ever drunk when wine was cheap.” - - Thomas Jefferson Dams: (They celebrate and then move on to the next big one – removal of the 4 Snake River Dams) Rocky Barker: Dam removal movement marches to Pacific Idaho Statesman.com, 06/20/11 In September, river advocates will be holding a celebration like none seen since 1999. That was the year the Edwards Dam was removed, allowing the Kennebec River in Maine to flow free for the first time since Nathaniel Hawthorne walked its banks 160 years before. The celebration will note the removal of the Elwha and Glines dams in Washington’s Olympic peninsula. The Elwha dams are bigger and have been authorized for removal for far longer. Their removal in many ways marks the maturation of the river restoration movement that got its start when a bipartisan coalition sought to set the Kennebec River free. More than 400 dams have been removed since the Swan Falls-sized Edwards Dam came down, restoring the health of 17 miles of river. The 210-foot-high Glines Dam will be the largest to come down and that contributes to the symbolic power of the act. In October, the Condit Dam on the White Salmon River, a tributary of the Columbia, will be blasted open.

  • A Comparison of the Environmental Effects of Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Pumped Storage Hydropower April 2020
    A Comparison of the Environmental Effects of Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Pumped Storage Hydropower April 2020 PNNL-29157 Acknowledgments This work was authored by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle and supported by the HydroWIRES Initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO), under award or contract number DE-AC05-76RL01830. HydroWIRES Initiative The electricity system in the United States is changing rapidly with the large-scale addition of variable renewables. The flexible capabilities of hydropower, including pumped storage hydropower (PSH), make it well-positioned to aid in integrating these variable resources while supporting grid reliability and resilience. Recognizing these challenges and opportunities, WPTO has launched a new initiative known as HydroWIRES: Water Innovation for a Resilient Electricity System.1 HydroWIRES is focused on understanding and supporting the changing role of hydropower in the evolving electricity system in the United States. Through the HydroWIRES initiative, WPTO seeks to understand and drive utilization of the full potential of hydropower resources to help reduce system-wide costs and contribute to electricity system reliability and resilience, now and into the future. HydroWIRES is distinguished in its close engagement with the DOE National Laboratories. Five National Laboratories—Argonne National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and PNNL—work as a team to provide strategic insight and develop connections across the DOE portfolio that add significant value to the HydroWIRES initiative. HydroWIRES operates in conjunction with the DOE Grid Modernization Initiative,2 which focuses on the development of new architectural concepts, tools, and technologies that measure, analyze, predict, protect, and control the grid of the future, and on enabling the institutional conditions that allow for quicker development and widespread adoption of these tools and technologies.

  • Linear Power Discretization and Nonlinear Formulations for Optimizing Hydropower in a Pumped-Storage System

Moore Linear Power Discretization and Nonlinear Formulations For Optimizing Hydropower in a Pumped Storage System Craig S. Moore (Abstract) Operation of a pumped storage system is dictated by the time dependent price of electricity and capacity limitations of the generating plants. This thesis considers the optimization of the Smith Mountain Lake-Leesville Pumped Storage-Hydroelectric facility. The constraints include the upper and lower reservoir capacities, downstream channel capacity and flood stage, in-stream flow needs, efficiency and capacity of the generating and pumping units, storage-release relationships, and permissible fluctuation of the upper reservoir water surface elevation to provide a recreational environment for the lake shore property owners. Two formulations are presented: (1) a nonlinear mixed integer program and (2) a discretized linear mixed integer program. These formulations optimize the operating procedure to generate maximum revenue from the facility. Both formulations are general and are applicable to any pumped storage system. The nonlinear program retains the physical aspects of the system as they are but suffers from non-convexity related issues. The linear formulation uses a discretization scheme to approximate the nonlinear efficiency, pump, turbine, spillway discharge, tailrace elevation-discharge, and storage- elevation relationships.
