Mrica Hydroelectric Project Design I. Jernelius, MSc, MSACE, W. D.C. Murray, BSc, MICE, and Eurlng A . H. c. Richards, BCE, F E E , MIE(Aust), FCIArb W This Paper outlines the development of the design of the Mrica Hydroelectric Project. It has been prepared jointly with other papers that cover the contractual and financial aspects of the scheme as well as the construction of the project. Thereis inevitably some duplication within the papers, but in orderto avoid lengthy repetition, thisPaper tends, on the whole, to give references to the other papers for those aspects that are explained more fully therein...

Carhuaquero Hydroelectric Project Ing F. Rossinelli, EurIng G. P. Sims, BScEng, PhD, FICE, and D. G. Wardle, BScEng, ACGI, DipHE (Delft), MICE This Paper describes the project organization, technicaldefinition studies, detailed design, construction and commissioning of the Carhuaquero Hydroelectric Project. The project was designed and builtby an international consortiumof companies with international funding. It is situated within a zone of high seismic activityin the Peruvian Andes foothills at about loo0 m above sea Level. The ChancayRiver, a steep mountain torrent with seasonal 5 flows that range from m'/s t o 1000 m'ls, provides the power flows, up to 19...

Wilson, Consultant Engineering Geologist The paper states that:' the feasibility work was mainly a desk study earlier reports', and ' an of interim report was required three months '. A in definitive report was prepared later with minimal further site investigations.How was the design effected, and how were valid tender documents prepared with such minimal and inadequate subsurface investigations?How did the authors' competitors prepare bids? 92...

Discussion on Paper. No. 6646* Hydro-electric power in France by J. A. 'Sandover, B.Sc., Ph.D., A.M.I.C.E. M r F. W. D. Davis (retired) called attention to the Author's remarks in 8 35 on the near-completion of the Rance tidal power electricity generating scheme and the absence of enterprise in the United Kingdom in this direction. In the discussion on Paper No. 6669 by Price and KendrickZ1 (which contained an account of the investigation by the D...

ROBERTS ON FUNDAMENTAL ECONOMICS IN HYDRO-ELECTRIC DESIGN 115 Paper No. 5779 " Fundamental Economics in Hydro-Electric Design '' 7 by CYRTT,MINCHIN ROBERTS, M.T.C.E. SYNOPSIS The preliminary investigation into the possibilities of hydro-electric development within a catchment area, which appears suitable on account of its geographical location and other characteristics, depends largely upon the amount of information available as to basic rainfall and run-off and upon the nature and extent of the electricity supply to be provided. The Paper indicates and discusses some of the fundamental factors and variable conditions which are encountered in design studies and describes methods which may be used to produce the most economicalsolution to the problem...

Pror. Instn Cio. Engrs, Part 1, 1983,74, Aug., 589-591 INFORMALDISCUSSION WATERENGINEERINGGROUP Small-scale hydroelectric schemes Introducer E. M. WILSON,MSc, PhD, FICE* Reporter E. M. Gosschalk,MA, F I C E t Professor Wilson drew attention to the shortage in the UK of engineers familiar with the technology of hydroelectricity, coupled with a shortage of U K manufacturers of small turbines-while overseas competition was intense. So far only very small machines (e.g., Italian kW and 1 kW sets) were available in stock, buta promising developmentwas the use of centrifugal pumps runningin reverse for near-constant heads of 25 m or more...

OLIVIER, CMG, MSc, PhD, DEng, DSc(Hon), FICE., FRSA* Introduction Until 1973 the word `energy' did not evoke qualms in the western world and certainly not in South Africa. Then, in that year came the bombshell, the quadrupling of oil prices by the OPEC countries. This caused world-wide ramifications and a sudden realization of how dependent civilization is on energy in every day life and for the contrinued growth of the economy and of the importance of standards of living...
