TIP 422: Turbine Optimization Model (TOM) development for capital investment decision making for FCRPS hydroelectric plants
Lead Companies
Hydroelectric Design Center (HDC), USACE/ BPA
Lead Researcher (s)
- Mark Parrish, HDC
- Gordon Ashby, BPA
The project will develop the Shuffled Complex Evolutionary - Turbine Optimization Model (SCE-TOM) for 5 FCRPS hydropower plants. SCE-TOM will be used in combination with other BPA economic planning tools to determine the feasibility and the most efficient timing for generator rewinds and turbine replacements at these facilities, including the optimal number of units to replace.
