Hydropower - Operation and Maintenance
International Technical Seminar and Study Tour
The availability of well-trained personnel is a key requirement in the hydropower sector. Aging facilities, abnormal outages, along with the need to enhance the reliability and long-term viability of power facilities has resulted in an increased emphasis on hydropower facility operation and maintenance.
The review of operation and maintenance is an integral part of the Bureau of Reclamation’s (Reclamation) power program quality control and performance monitoring processes. Periodic reviews ensure that management and staff understands and follows operation, maintenance, and management standards and practices. Those responsible for hydropower operation and maintenance must implement policies and procedures that warrant public confidence. A periodic review process ensures the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of a facility and incorporates the lessons of the past into a standard reporting process. The need for trained personnel is essential.
This seminar will provide professional personnel with a comprehensive guide to Reclamation’s hydropower review processes. It will also provide a venue for sharing best practices and ideas for improvement. Reclamation officials will provide the training for the seminar and are from Reclamation’s Denver Office, as well as from notable hydropower facilities such as Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams. They are among those staff at Reclamation that are responsible for the proper operation, maintenance, and structural safety of more than 50 power facilities, and 400 dams and distribution systems. Reclamation has conducted similar seminars for its own staff, as well as for more than 5,000 technical and administrative officials from other domestic and international agencies.
