When functioning as a pump and three-quarter million gallons 205 feet. A similar unit is being installed 1 at the F la'.iron plant of the Colo ?ado-Big Thompson project and *thor installations are planned in 'he United States, including a raposed pump-storage project at N'iagari Falls. But none of the projects plann d approaches the size of the unit -fanned for Hiwassee, TVA said. Contract for the turbine unit was awarded the Allison-Chalmers Manufacturing Co. on the 51,216. 775 bid. The reversible power unit was selected for its substantially more dependable power capacity over the conventional type unit, TVA asserted. Tee unit is designed to function both as a turbine and as a pump. When operated as a turbine, water ?"'owing through the water wheel rotates the unit in a clockwise di rection, turning the generator. The generator is coupled to the same shaft to produce electricity. When operated as a pump, elec ric power generated elswhere on the TVA systm when general pow er is low is applied to the motor generator The entire unit then rotates in a counter-clockwise di rection. PUMP ACTION Tills reverse rotation causes the water wheel to act as a pump, lifting the water from the down stream basin up through the pen rlocks and Into the reservoir be hind the dam. The "off peak" power used to Dump the water back into the res ?_rvolr is moderately low in cost. But the power generated by the pump-turbine will come at peak hours when power Is worth much more, TVA explained. CERTAIN CONDITIONS Hiwassee has or will have all the conditions necessary for the installation of such a unit, TVA, said. These necessary conditions were listed by TVA as: 1?A pond or reservoir into whioh the unit can discharge water vhen generating and then pump from when desired. . 2.?First cost of a structure and equipment must not be excessive. 3.?Power generated during periods of highest use must have considerable more value than the cost of power available from the system other times. 4?There must be an ample sup ply of moderate-cost, off-peak jenerat in? capacity available whenever needed. When Hiwassee was built, one conventional type generator was installed with space left for a sec ond unit. hine Will watts ?)le power unit or pump-turbir.e if generating power at a rate of at I liwassee Dam. the Tenne^sei i, the unit will he able to litt one of water per minute a height of New Deadline For Scout Will Start Tuesday The Cherokee Scout deadline for accepting news and ads will ^hange to Tuesday noon after this issue.
