The 42 MW Belleville Hydroelectric Project is a run-of-river plant located on the West Virginia side of the existing Corps of Engineers Belleville Lock and Dam on the Ohio River. The plant consists of two 21 MW bulb units with 7.3 meter diameter runners manufactured by Voest Alpine Machinery Construction Engineering (VAMCE). The plant will generate approximately 245 GWhr of electricity each year. Many unique features associated with the electrical power equipment at the Belleville Hydroelectric Project are a direct result of the FERC license requirement that allows flood waters to run over the top of the powerhouse. Consequently, no exterior decks, roofs, or adjacent lands were available as equipment areas for the Generator Step-Up (GSU) transformers or the 138 kV SF6 substation.
