From the plaque next to the runner: "This cast steel turbine runner (water wheel), which is 14.2 feet in diameter and weighs over 32 tons, powered the N-7 generator at Hoover Dam Power Plant from 1944 to 1982. The function of the turbine runner is to convert the force of falling water delivered through the pen stock pipes, to rotating energy which is then utilized by the generator in producing hydroelectric energy."]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hoover-dam-turbine-water-wheel-in-bicentennial-park/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hoover-dam-turbine-water-wheel-in-bicentennial-park/ Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:42:50 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/hoover-dam-turbine-water-wheel-in-bicentennial-park/ 35.97550600 -114.83841400 <![CDATA[Mabry Mill]]>

The dam is located on the Rock River between the cities of Rock Falls and Sterling, in Illinois.

It was first build to raise the water level of the Rock River enough to supply water through a feeder canal to the main part of the Hennepin Canal. The Hennepin Canal was build from 1892 to 1907. By the time that it was completed, rapid technological advances in transportation had made the canal out of date. It never reached expected shipping goals and was finally closed to traffic in 1951.

In the 1980's a plan was developed by the city of Rock Falls to use this dam as a hydroelectric facility. It was rebuild to contain the generating plant and was Dedicated July 22, 1988.]]>

Pumped storage hydroelectricity is a type of hydroelectric power generation used by some power plants for load balancing. The method stores energy in the form of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation. Low-cost off-peak electric power is used to run the pumps. During periods of high electrical demand, the stored water is released through turbines. Although the losses of the pumping process makes the plant a net consumer of energy overall, the system increases revenue by selling more electricity during periods of peak demand, when electricity prices are highest. Pumped storage is the largest-capacity form of grid energy storage now available]]>

The Linton Falls hydroelectric plant will work with the use of two Archimedean screws. Originally designed to carry water up as they rotate, the screws will generate renewable energy by spinning at high speeds when river water flows through them.

The plant will generate a reasonable 510,000 kWh of energy each year— not bad considering the structure has been sitting dormant for decades. Eventually, the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority wants to use up to 50 sites for similar schemes.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/99-year-old-hydroelectric-plant-coming-back-online/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/99-year-old-hydroelectric-plant-coming-back-online/ Fri, 31 Oct 2008 10:45:26 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/99-year-old-hydroelectric-plant-coming-back-online/ 54.06729200 -2.00283800 <![CDATA[Gordon Dam, Tasmania]]>

Hugh Keenleyside Dam is a hydroelectric dam spanning the Columbia River, 12 km (6.5 miles) upstream of the city of Castlegar, British Columbia, Canada.

The reservoirs behind the dam is named Arrow Lakes extending 232 km (145 miles) north to Revelstoke Dam, and contain 8.76 km3 (7.1 Maf) of reservoir volume. The dam is operated by BC Hydro.

The dam, originally named the Arrow Dam, was built in 1968 as part of fulfilling Canada's role in the Columbia River Treaty, and was intended only to control the flow of water in the Columbia River for downstream dams, but in 2002 a 185 megawatt (MW) powerhouse was added.

@ 2008-04-20 09:36:54
Daniel Kennedy opened a gristmill on Slippery Rock Creek in 1852. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1868 and was quickly rebuilt. Ownership of the mill was transferred to the park's namesake, Thomas McConnell in 1875. He replaced the waterwheel with water turbines and the grindstones with rolling mills. This made McConnell's Mill one of the first rolling mills in the country. The mill processed oats, corn, buckwheat and wheat until it was closed in 1928. Ownership of the land transferred from Thomas H. Hartman to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in 1942. The conservancy then transferred the land to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1957 when McConnells Mill State Park was formally dedicated.

Shasta Dam is a curved gravity concrete dam (National ID No. CA10186) on the Sacramento River above Redding, California near Shasta Lake City built between 1938 and 1945.[1] Like another curved gravity dam (Hoover Dam), it was a continuous pour concrete project, and in its day, ranked as one of the great civil engineering feats of the world. The dam is 602 ft (183 m) high and 3,460 ft (1,055 m) long, with a base width or thickness of 543 ft (165.5 m).[1] The reservoir created behind Shasta Dam is known as Shasta Lake and is a popular recreational boating area.]]>

Construction on a hydroelectric dam began in 1959. The power station was commissioned in 1967. Te Mahoe village, still in existence, was built for dam construction workers. The dam was in a geologically unsound location – between 1967 and 1987 it shifted downstream almost 1 metre and moved another 150 mm after the 1987 Edgecumbe earthquake (magnitude 6.3). The dam was later strengthened. There were extensive consultations with the Ngāti Awa tribe, who were prominent in the completion ceremony in August 1998.

The largest earth dam in the North Island, situated on the Rangitaiki River. Construction was approved in 1959 with the scheme finally commissioned in 1967. After sustaining damage in an earthquake of Richter scale magnitude 6.3 in 1987, the scheme was decommissioned for seven months in 1988 to allow repairs including substantial strengthening of the dam to reduce it's hazard rating. This work occurred during 1997-98, immediately prior to the TrustPower purchase of the scheme. With a 61 metre head of water behind an 86 meter high dam, the Matahina station has two 36,000 kW generators producing an average annual output of 300 GWh.

When Alder Dam was completed in 1945 it was one of the tallest dams in the nation, measuring 330 feet in height and 1,600 feet in length. The powerhouse has two 25,000-kilowatt turbine generators that produce about 228 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. Alder Dam formed seven-mile-long Alder Lake. With 28 miles of shoreline and 3,065 acres of reservoir area at maximum elevation, Alder Lake is an inviting spot for boaters, water skiers, anglers and picnickers.

Bad Creek Hydroelectric Pumped Storage Facility

@ 2006-04-22 18:59:16
The Bad Creek Hydroelectric Station is a 1,065-megawatt pumped-storage facility located in Oconee County, eight miles north of Salem, South Carolina. The four-unit station began generating electricity in 1991, and is the largest hydroelectric station on the Duke Energy system. It is named for the two streams, Bad Creek and West Bad Creek, which were dammed to create the Bad Creek reservoir.

The Bad Creek facility two reservoirs (or lakes) to generate electricity: an upper reservoir and a lower reservoir. Water stored in an upper lake is released into underground power tunnels. The water rushes down the tunnels, driving huge turbines, which are underground at the base of a dam. The spinning turbines are connected to large generators, which produce the electricity. The water then flows through draft tubes into a lower lake.

A pumped-storage hydroelectric station uses the same water over and over again, making more efficient use of water resources. When demand for electricity is low, operators can refill the lake, as if they were “recharging” a battery. Using power from other generating stations, the generators act as electric motors spinning the huge turbines backward. This pumps water back up the power tunnels into the upper lake. Water is generally pumped back to the upper reservoir at night and on weekends.]]>

Vemork Hydroelectic Plant (WWII Heavy Water Generating Facility)

One day this will be in hi-res... [sigh].

From www.visitvemork.com:

In 1911, the Vemork hydroelectric power station started exploiting the tremendous power in the waters that flow from the mighty Hardangervidda down into the narrow Vestfjord valley.

Norsk Hydro, Norway’s great industrial adventure, was born here, among the perilous cliffs and deep gorges. Later it became the center of attention for other reasons; one of the most famous sabotage actions during World War II occurred at Vemork. The struggle for control of the heavy water plant took more than two years, involved four assaults and claimed 92 lives.

Today this beautiful stone building houses an exciting and rich museum. The museum gives us a picture of the sabotage actions that prevented Hitler form carrying out his atomic project. The museum also gives an insight into the Norwegian Labour movement. The old machine hall has been preserved in all its glory and is a sheer treasure for those interested in hydroelectric power. Further, the museum is often selected to exhibit world-renowned theme presentations.]]>

"The Taum Sauk reservoir is a pumped-storage hydro plant located in Annapolis Missouri, about two hours south of St. Louis. The reservoir generates electricity by pumping water from the lower reservoir by two reversible pump-turbine generators through 7000 feet of tunnel, 25 feet in diameter, to the upper reservoir. The water then is drained back into the lower reservoir, generating electricity. The upper reservoir covers an area of 55 acres, is 90 feet deep and holds 1.5 billion gallons of water."]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/taum-sauk-reservoir-failed/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/taum-sauk-reservoir-failed/ Wed, 14 Dec 2005 16:17:39 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/taum-sauk-reservoir-failed/ 37.53449600 -90.81955400 <![CDATA[Riga Hydro Power Plant (HPP)]]>
