Mammoth Pool Project has a normal static head of 1100 ft which is within the operating range of either the impulse or reaction type hydraulic turbine. An economic analysis is made for using two 88,000 hp turbines, either of the multinozzle impulse or of the reaction type. Power generation and motoring operations of each type are evaluated with the final evaluation justifying the selection of two reaction turbines for this powerhouse.

There exist a widespread interest in the application of gas turbine power augmentation technologies in both electric power generation and mechanical drive markets attributable to deregulation in the power generation sector, increased electric rates during peak demand period, and need for a proper selection of the gas turbine in a given application. In this study detailed thermo-economic analyses of various power augmentation technologies, implemented on a selected gas turbine, have been performed to identify the best techno-economic solution depending on the selected climatic conditions. The presented results show that various power augmentation technologies examined have different payback periods. Such a techno-economic analysis is necessary for proper selection of a power augmentation technology.

There exists a widespread interest in the application of gas turbine Power Augmentation Technologies (PATs) in both electric power generation and mechanical drive markets. This interest is attributable to liberalization in the power generation sector, increased electric rates during peak demand period and need for a proper selection of the gas turbine in a given application. In the Part II of this study, an analytical evaluation of the ambient temperature effect on gas turbines performance is presented. Further, the achievable power boost due to the installation of the most adopted PAT strategies is deeply investigated. Considering a whole year of operation for a large number of worldwide locations, also the behavior change — due to the use of the PATs — on both the energy production and the economic aspect will be analyzed and discussed.

There exists a widespread interest in the application of gas turbine power augmentation technologies in both electric power generation and mechanical drive markets, attributable to deregulation in the power generation sector, significant loss in power generation capacity combined with increased electric rates during peak demand period, and need for a proper selection of the gas turbine in a given application. In this study, detailed thermo-economic analyses of various power augmentation technologies, implemented on a selected gas turbine, have been performed to identify the best techno-economic solution depending on the selected climatic conditions. The presented results show that various power augmentation technologies examined have different payback periods.

In this paper, numerical method for predicting critical cavitation performance in a hydraulic turbine is presented. The prediction method is based on unsteady cavitation flow analysis to use bubble two-phase flow model. The prediction of the critical cavitation performance was carried out for the aixal hydraulic turbine and the francis turbine as a typical examples. Results compared to the experiment showed a good agreement for the volume of cavity and the performance drop off and it was recognized that this method could be used as an engineering tool of a hydraulic turbine development.
