A Computer Program for Determining the Economic Size of Development of Pump-Storage Hydro Sites

This is a companion paper to an earlier one.1 The computer program described is divided into three parts: a) the determination of the coefficientsfor(l), (2), and (4) of Watchon1 for the best fit to the calculated cost and plant pumping ratio data, b) the determination of the lowest average unit investment cost, and other pertinent information, to be shown later, for each of the potential sites for various conditions, and c) the arrangement of the results of part b in the order of preference. All the programs are written in Fortran for the 7074 computer.
