Full Description

Scope

This guide describes the electrical and control design of water conveyance facilities associated with hydroelectric projects including associated penstocks, valves, and gates. The guide includes guidance to plan and prepare designs; however, it does not include details of installation, operation, or maintenance guidelines and methodologies. This guide is applicable to design of new facilities and rehabilitation or replacement of existing facilities.

Purpose

This guide provides a description of the terminology, as well as the design practices and principles used in modern electrical and control design of water conveyance facilities associated with hydroelectric projects. The practices and principles are not covered by other guides associated with hydroelectric facilities. This guide is for use by practicing engineers and provides guidance for facility owners and operators. The guide does not cover every possible variation that can be encountered, but it provides a working familiarity with the terminology and principles involved.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Active. Electrical and control design of water conveyance facilities associated with hydroelectric projects including associated penstocks, valves, and gates are described in this guide. Guidance to plan and prepare designs is included. Installation, peration, or maintenance guideline and methodologies are not included. Design of new facilities and rehabilitation or replacement of existing facilities is covered. Comprehensive considerations for design, monitoring, control, protection, and operation of water conveyance facilities associated with hydroelectric projects is provided. Guidance in electrical and instrumentation work unique to water conveyance systems is provided. Guidance for the safe control of water release systems, bypass systems, and failure modes are provided. Reliability measures such as redundancy and power source considerations are provided. Gate and valve types and associated operating mechanisms are introduced. Power and non-power water conduits including penstocks, tunnels, and canals are covered.
