TIP 346: Cold Spray Deposition for Improved Service Life of New and Repaired Hydroelectric Turbines

This project provides BPA and utilities with hydropower assets, a model that they can use to understand the value proposition of cold spray repair for their hydropower system. This tool calculates anticipated savings in terms of reduced downtime and increased efficiency. It generates data required for cold spray repair providers to quote the work. Using outputs from this model, utilities can perform costs analysis for a given turbine repair.
