Abstract
AN INSTALLATION capable of generating hydroelectric power and energy during peak hours and of restoring the water by pump operation during off-peak hours was placed in service at Buchanan Dam, Tex., during 1950. Power and energy are generated by a hydroelectric unit which is similar to modern hydro power plants. The process of lifting large quantities of water from one elevation to another by means of high-efficiency centrifugal pumps driven by electric motors uses the same principles whether intended for domestic, irrigation, or pumped storage use.
