Resource Survey of Low-Head Hydroelectric Potential at Existing Dams and Proposed Sites in the Pacific Northwest Region: Phase II
This study evaluates the theoretical potential for small hydroelectric development of the Pacific Northwest Region. The study area includes all of the Columbia River system in the US and all other river basins in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. The total area studied is approximately 292,000 square miles. The first phase (10 volumes) of the study completed in March 1979 evaluated the theoretical power potential of the streams in the region. This report is the completion report for Phase II of the study where an evaluation of the hydro potential is made for existing dams without present generating capabilities, proposed hydro sites, and at proposed power sites in existing irrigation systems. For this phase of the study, small hydro is defined as a site with potential to produce power between 200 kW and 25 MW with flows at the 50% exceedance level. The definition in Phase I called for power at the 50% exceedance to be greater than 200 kW and heads to be between 3 and 20 meters. DOE requested the definition change. Another aspect of this study involves evaluating transmission and load restraints at existing dams that do not have generating capabilities. Such items as distance to nearest power lines, capacity of that line, type of local market, and distance to nearest population center were evaluated - items that are important when making feasibility studies of hydro sites.
