Abstract

This project is one of the US Department of Energy's original seven low-head hydroelectric demonstration projects. The demonstration project was initiated by the release of a Program Opportunity Notice (PON) ET-78-N-07-1711 dated November 1, 1978. The purpose for the demonstration is to show the feasibility of small hydroelectric power development projects at a number of existing dam sites across the country. The Goodyear Lake Power Station provided an excellent example of the redevelopment of a discontinued low-head hydroelectric facility. The dam and power station were previously owned by the New York State Electric and Gas Corporation. Prior to F.W.E. Stapenhorst's involvement, it was the Utility's intention to breach the dam and dewater the lake. In order to rehabilitate the power station, title was transferred to F.W.E. Stapenhorst Inc., upon finalization of a Power Agreement (whereby F.W.E. Stapenhorst Inc. would sell the power generated to New York State Electric and Gas Corporation) and issuance of the FERC license. The station, as renovated, is fully automatic and utilizes two Ossberger Cross-Flow type turbines - turbines which, due to their flat efficiency curve, are well suited for small rivers and streams where the flow varies over a wide range.

DOE small-scale hydroelectric demonstration program. James River-New Hampshire Electric, Inc. , sawmill hydrostation redevelopment. Final report

Technical Report

This project is one of the US DOE's twenty-one (21) Small-Scale Hydroelectric Demonstration Projects. The purpose for the demonstrations is to determine the feasibility of potential small hydroelectric power development projects at a variety of existing dam sites across the country. The Sawmill Power Station in Berlin, New Hampshire, provided an excellent example of the redevelopment of a discontinued low-head hydroelectric facility. The project was undertaken during a period of rising energy prices and acute shortages of thermally generated power, particularly for the commercial sector. The power generated from this facility will serve to reduce James River Corporation's dependence onmore »« less
Upper Mechanicville Hydroelectric Redevelopment Project: project-management plan. Small-Scale Hydroelectric Power Demonstration Project

Technical Report

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 ofmore »« less

Technical Report

Monthly and year-long data are presented on the performance, maintenance, power generation, flow conditions, and operating costs during the period from August 11, 1981 to August 10, 1982 at the Goodyear Lake (New York) small-scale hydroelectric power plant. During this period the plant generated 5,806,500 kWh of power for a total income of $194,401, which represents approximately 79% of predicted values. The shortfall in output resulted from the failure of Generator Unit No. 1 which was out of operation for two months. (LCL)
Goodyear Lake hydroelectric generating station redevelopment. Final operating cost report

Technical Report

The Goodyear Lake how-head hydropower plant resulted from the rehabilitation of an old dam. The project construction costs were $1.722 million, which included a 17% overrun from original cost estimates due chiefly to extraordinary rates of inflation. For the first two years operating costs were $126,500 and $240,100 while revenues were $233,200 and $403,400, respectively. Revenues for year 1 were obtained from sales at 3 cents/kWh and for year 2 at 3.4 cents/kWh. If the rates payable by utilities under PURPA regulations, namely 6 cents/kWh, had been paid the revenues would have nearly doubled. It is concluded that initial costmore »« less
