Guidelines for Retirement of Dams and Hydroelectric Facilities
Prepared by the Task Committee on Guidelines for Retirement of Dams and Hydroelectric Facilities of the Hydropower Committee of the Energy Division of ASCE. This report describes techniques, methods, and procedures applicable to the retirement of dams and hydroelectric facilities. These guidelines identify types of data options; describe available engineering, environmental, and economic methods for assessing, quantifying and implementing retirement; and identify techniques for comparing and evaluating retirement costs and benefits. Topics include: data collection and analysis, studies of retirement, engineering and environmental assessment, sediment management, and review of selected case studies.
Guidelines for Retirement of Dams and Hydroelectric Facilities
This committee report, Guidelines for Retirement of Dams and Hydroelectric Facilities, presents information for use in considering the retirement of dams and hydroelectric facilities. The purpose of these guidelines is: to identify types of data options to be considered; to describe available engineering, environmental, and economic methods for assessing, quantifying and implementing retirement; and to identify types of techniques for comparing and evaluating retirement costs and benefits. It specifically covers data collection and analysis, studies of retirement, engineering and environmental assessment, sediment management, and review of selected case studies. The guidelines contain descriptions of techniques, methods, and procedures.
Reservoir Sediment Management
Siltation in reservoirs has become an important problem when dams are getting older and stop functioning when the sediment has accumulated to a certain extent. With proper sediment management techniques, negative effects of sediment can be avoided and reservoir life and performance can be improved. This volume deals with reservoir sedimentation, deposition and removal. It provides the principles of sediment transport and gives guidelines to predict reservoir life. It presents several removal techniques, accompanied with detailed operation descriptions. With the help of the RESCON open source software, cost analysis tools to determine the optimum method for maintenance and operation of a reservoir can be applied. To illustrate practice and to assist the reader in setting up a sediment management operation, a number of case studies of existing large dams are included. Written by two experts on reservoir operation, this volume is intended for professionals and advanced students working on dam and reservoir design, construction, operation, maintenance and rehabilitation.
