OSTI ID:6493220

The purpose of this Project Management Plan (PMP) is to define the project objectives, the organizational composition of the management team, the responsibilities of all participants in the project, the project controls to be implemented, and the required reports and meetings. The New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) Upper Mechanicville Hydroelectric Plant is a key element in the Department of Energy's (DOE) Low-Head Hydroelectric Power Demonstration Program. This project will be funded under Cooperative Agreement No. DE-FC07-80ID12117 which terminates on December 1, 1985. This project involves the redevelopment of an abandoned and dismantled hydroelectric power generating facility. Redevelopment of the site involves the construction of the Upper Mechanicville Power Plant which will consist of two (2) vertical shaft adjustable blade Kaplan type turbines coupled to two (2) electric generators and controls. The power plant will be located in an existing intake power canal located on the west bank of the Hudson River. The power canal extends downstream from the west abutment of the existing dam owned and operated by the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) as part of Lock No. 3 of the Champlain Division, New York State Barge Canal System. The two units are capable of providing a combined, continuous output of 16.8 MW.
