Dams for Hydroelectric Energy Barrages pour l’Énergie Hydroélectrique by CIGB ICOLD Pdf

The Bulletin is intended as a general document aimed at a wide technical audience involved with or affected by hydropower. Basic background data and some statistics are presented, with specific reference to hydro-electricity production, hydropower dams, hydropower plants, in operation or under construction. Key aspects of hydropower are discussed. Data are presented about typical capital and both internal and external operating costs. Environmental and social impacts are discussed and reference is made to the impact reservoirs have on greenhouse gas emissions. A section is dedicated to the exploitation of tidal energy by means of barrage systems. The current extent of hydropower development and the influence of policies aimed to favour the development of renewable energies are also discussed. Reference sources of information, on hydropower in general and interesting case-histories, are provided. Le Bulletin se veut un document général destiné à un large public technique impliqué ou affecté par l'hydroélectricité. Des données de base et quelques statistiques sont présentées, avec une référence spécifique à la production hydroélectrique, aux barrages hydroélectriques, aux centrales hydroélectriques, en fonctionnement ou en construction. Les principaux aspects de l'hydroélectricité sont discutés. Les données sont présentées sur le capital type et les coûts de fonctionnement internes et externes. Les impacts environnementaux et sociaux sont discutés et il est fait référence à l'impact des réservoirs sur les émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Une section est dédiée à l'exploitation de l'énergie marémotrice au moyen de systèmes de barrage. L'ampleur actuelle du développement hydroélectrique et l'influence des politiques visant à favoriser le développement des énergies renouvelables sont également abordées.

Design of Hydroelectric Power Plants - Step by Step by Geraldo Magela Pereira Pdf

The design of a hydroelectric plant, along with an installation of transformation of potential energy of water into electricity, is an activity that is not standardized. Each new project is an interesting engineering challenge, and teams need to work in different conditions of each site, integrated to design a functional, economical and environmentally sustainable project. The development of a project, here understood as the plant itself, the reservoir, the maneuver substation and the associated transmission line, is a multidisciplinary activity that encompasses areas of civil engineering, geology, mechanical and electrical engineering, environmental engineering, economic engineering, construction and assembly, and the engineering of operation and maintenance of civil works and electromechanical equipment. The book is organized to facilitate the performance of professional life of the new generations of engineers who will join the Electric Sector, or in other sectors that demand the knowledge regarding hydraulic structures. The book is a simple manual providing the practical step-by-step procedure for designing hydroelectric plants, including legislation, with a general view of the project.

White Gold by Karl Froschauer Pdf

During the past fifty years, Canadians have seen many of their white-water rivers dammed or diverted to generate electricity primarily for industry and export. The rush to build dams increased utility debts, produced adverse consequences for the environment and local communities, and ultimately resulted in the layoff of 25,000 employees. White Gold looks at what went wrong with hydro development, with the predicted industrial transformation, with the timing and magnitude of projects, and with national and regional initiatives to link these major projects to a trans-Canada power grid.
