摘要

This report describes the studies performed by International Engineering Company, Inc. (IECO) to select the unit size for the Idaho Fail s Hydro-electric Project. The project comprises three separate power plants:the Upper, City, and Lower Plants. The plant forebays will have no storage;power operation will be on a run-of-river basis utilizing Snake River flows.nThe new generating units will be three identical horizontal-axis bulb turbine-generators, one at each plant.
