1999. , approx. 2000 pages. 6 Volumes of the EPRI Hydropower plant
modeization guide (Volumes 1-5 and 7) are included herein.
Note: Old EPRI HPP modeization guide was issued in 1989. and comprised Volumes 1-3.
Note A.P. : One of many new issues introduced in 1999. series is REMR (taken from USCoE) methodology for evaluation of mechanical and hydromechanical equipment status.
Note A.P. : EPRI Hydro Life Extension Modeization Guide never introduced anything new, but systematic approach of HPP modeization planning. Final goal is to promote HPP rehabilitation, in the favor of equipment suppliers.
Introduction:
Hydroelectric power generation is a proven vital source of electricity in the United States and worldwide. Many hydroelectric plants have been reliably generating electricity for more than 50 years. As these facilities continue to age, decisions must be made conceing retirement, continued maintenance and operation, or modeization and redevelopment. As experienced personnel retire and leave utility companies, the need for guidance in making these critical decisions becomes even more important. To address these needs, EPRI has wisely concluded that there is a crucial need for guidance in helping utility managers and owners make critical decisions on the future of their plants. In 1989, EPRI issued 3 volumes of Modeization Guidelines, which have been widely used by the industry. This present series of guidelines will update the 1989 guides and expand them to cover the entire plant.
Contents:
EPRI Hydro Life Extension Modeization Guide, Vol. 1 - Overall process.
EPRI Hydro Life Extension Modeization Guide, Vol. 2 – Hydromechanical Equipment.
EPRI Hydro Life Extension Modeization Guide, Vol. 3 – Electromechanical Equipment.
EPRI Hydro Life Extension Modeization Guide, Vol. 4 and 5 - Auxiliary mechanical and electrical systems.
