| Description | Head. To minimize costs, sites were sought which had fairly high heads. At higher heads, less water is required per unit of generation, and as a result it is possible to reduce the costs of the pump-turbine/motorgenerator equipment, the diameter of the penstocks, and the size of the reservoirs. The heads available at most of the sites permit the use of reversible Francis pump-turbines. Although present technology limits the design of reversible units being built today to heads of about 1,600... |
