摘要

The paper describes the feasibility study and design of a penstock refurbishment project for the City of Boulder, Colorado. The project is currently in the design phase and is set for construction in the summer of 2008. The City of Boulder's Betasso Treatment Plant facility contains two hydropower units, one of which has an old penstock with more than expected headloss that affects the turbine output. The primary purpose of the pipelines is municipal water supply, with power being a byproduct of water supply system operations.rnPresently, there is no means of untreated water storage downstream of the power unit or a pipeline to bypass excess flows. Energy payments to the city are based on capacity tests, which must be performed on a monthly basis irrespective of the municipal water demand. Such tests require almost full flow through the turbines, and the treatment plant is overloaded. We performed a feasibility study to determine whether or not increased revenues due to reduced headloss could offset the cost of installing a new penstock. The feasibility study involved modifying the system flows, replacing an existing penstock, and included reuse of the existing penstock as a drain line for the techno economical feasibility. Modifying the system flows and replacing the existing penstock will increase revenue from power generation as well as capacity payment revenue. The new drain line will ensure quality water during capacity tests as the treatment plant will not be overloaded.rnThe age and complexity of the Boulder raw water collection system was considered for the evaluation of the techno economical feasibility of the project. Further, the design took maximum advantage of the existing pipelines depending on their age and condition. The pipelines highlighted in this project were at or near the end of their originally intended useful life. Upon further evaluation and inspection, it was determined that the pipelines were in acceptable condition to be used for other less demanding services. Through creative design, the existing pipelines were re-assigned to reduce the overall project cost.rnThe paper will include a description of the overall system, the problems with the system, the feasibility study, and the design features including complex valving that will be implemented to solve the problems. Technical professionals in water resources and hydropower fields will find this study useful when considering penstock refurbishment and replacement.
