<br />~ap131 <br /> <br /> <br />June 29, 1993 <br /> <br />Gunnison Planning Model - Info Theme No.9 <br /> <br />Information Related to AB Lateral Hydropower Facility <br /> <br />The AB Lateral hydropower (ABHydro) facility is pre-designed, because it is part <br />of the Uncompahgre Valley Project and because it is not an on-channel powerplant like <br />all other power generation facilities which can be represented in the model. Users will <br />have the option of turning this facility "on" in any scenario. If the facility is activated, <br />users will be able to modify some parameters which are unique to this powerplant. <br /> <br />L Physical Capacity. Unlike all other powerplants, the ABHydro <br />facility's capacity may vary monthly, in order to allow users a <br />means of specifying seasonal limitations upon the operation of the <br />facility and seasonal demand for power generation. As explained <br />in the water rights section, below, the capacity of the facility <br />represents an implicit "demand." This demand may be satisfied <br />incidentally by water diverted for agricultural use by the UVP <br />canals located downstream from the tailrace of the ABHydro <br />facility. If such diversions, driven by the UVP's agricultural <br />demands, do not incidentally satisfy the capacity of the ABHydro <br />facility, then water may be diverted under the Gunnison Tunnel's <br />power rights to meet any remaining power "demand." Users will <br />be able to specify 12 X I values in CFS, which will be converted <br />to AF/month internally. The default values will be determined <br />from the proposed operating plan. (Right?) <br /> <br />2. Efficiency and Powerhead. Both of these parameters will be <br />specified as single values, which users will be able to modify <br />(similarly to Morrow Point and Crystal). The default values will <br />correspond to the facility's currently proposed design. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />'d <br />" <br /> <br />________~-<L..ii.__-1_ <br /> <br />~,,- ~- ,.___~"_,..:;,i~-->>_~_;,.,, <br /> <br />L~i~.i.,~' ',".'. <br />
