<br />. <br /> <br />PRELlMINAR. <br />SUBJECT TO RE';n"SION <br /> <br />r') <br /> <br />7. Table 6 summarizes the dependable capacity calculations for John <br />Martin Dam. <br /> <br />~ <br />0) <br />~ <br /> <br />8. In addition to the project benefits attributable to dependable <br /> <br /> <br />capacity. the monthly energy generation is valued by the amount that it <br /> <br /> <br />offsets generation by the alternative thermal plant. The unit value of this <br /> <br /> <br />energy is a function of the hydro plant capacity factor as indicated in the <br /> <br /> <br />FERC's table of generalized power values. These generalized power values for <br /> <br /> <br />energy reflect average annual fuel costs escalated for a 3D-year period. <br /> <br />9. Annual benefits and costs for the alternative plans for hydropower <br /> <br /> <br />development are shown in table 5. Plan II. with an installed capacity of 2521 <br /> <br /> <br />kilowatts has the maximum benefit-to-cost ratio of 1.79. <br /> <br />/' ," <br /> <br />.P .: ' ' <br />~.l ;>.... <br /> <br />IX. Implications of Permanent Storage on Energy Production. <br /> <br />1. As discussed in Chapter III. there ~s an authorization for local <br /> <br /> <br />interests to store up to 10.000 acre-feet in John Martin Reservoir on a <br /> <br /> <br />permanent basis. Until the spring of 1980, the availability of this storage <br /> <br /> <br />capacity had not been utilized. Although the approximately 10.000 acre-feet <br /> <br /> <br />that was delivered to the reservoir in 1980 is considered the -permanent <br /> <br /> <br />poo1-, this account has been subjected to a continuous evaporative loss and as <br /> <br /> <br />of July 1982 less than half of the original volume remains. Nevertheless, <br /> <br /> <br />despite the fact that the Arkansas River water supply is over appropriated. <br /> <br /> <br />there remains Some likelihood that a permanent recreation pool will be <br /> <br /> <br />provided in the future. <br /> <br />2. The effect of permanent storage on hydroelectric generating potential <br />is determined by re-evaluating the monthly net operating head. Each of the <br />monthly pool elevation-duration curves were modified to reflect a minimum <br />storage of 10.000 acre-feet (elevation 3794.4). Although it would be <br />advisable to select another design head for the alternative plans to more <br />"effectively utilize the adjusted head relationships. this analysis assumed no <br />change in design head. Therefore, the area was measured under the modified <br />pool elevation-duration curves within the operating limits of the turbine. <br />The resulting average pool elevation was decreased three percent for hydraulic <br /> <br />16 <br />
