<p>All power plant engineers face the problem of peak power demands. Pumped storage plants are used to generate peak load power by pumping up water utilizing off-peak energy of hydrothermal and thermonuclear plants. This is the first accessible text/reference to cover hydroelectric power generation with emphasis on engineering to meet peak power demands by means of pumped storage plants, tidal power plants, and low head power generation. Text covers hydrology, mechanical and electrical equipment, accessories such as penstocks and valves, and civil engineering considerations. Contains descriptions of several existing plants. Includes 200 diagrams and 50 phtographs.</p>

With the power crisis engulfing the world, renewable sources of power like hydropower have gained prominence. Thus hydropower resources are being utilized all over the world on a large scale. This book is an effort to give the rudiments of hydropower generation, as a first course meant for undergraduate students. However, pumped storage plants, which generate peak power, are dealt with in more detail. A large number of illustrations and photographs have been included, making it easy to grasp the subject.
