Idaho Falls Hydroelectric Project. Selection of unit size

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6325873· OSTI ID:6325873
Studies performed to select the unit size for the Idaho Falls Hydroelectric Project are described. The project comprises three separate power plants: the Upper, City, and Lower Plants. The plant forebays will have no storage; power operation will be on a run-of-river basis utilizing Snake River flows. The new generating units will be three identical horizontal-axis bulb turbine--generators, one at each plant. At the Lower Plant, the existing generating units will remain in service on a standby basis. At the Upper and City Plants, the existing equipment will be removed.
