Development of small hydroelectric projects in Appalachia. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6885041
The project identified small hydroelectric sites in the Appalachian counties of North Carolina with development potential. From this list, three sites, North Fork Reservoir Dam owned by the City of Asheville, the Town of Highlands Dam, and Capitola Dam were chosen for further detailed feasibility analyses. Based on (1) detailed inspection of the sites, (2) analysis of construction costs, and (3) identification of generic problems associated with small hydro, a cost-effectiveness analysis of the financial feasibility of each site will be prepared. As part of this task, the effects of power generation on existing operations at each site and the potential power customers will be identified.
