  • Abstract
    An overpumping prevention system was designed to protect the upper reservoir dam structures, and therefore the powerhouse and surrounding countryside, at the Rocky Mountain Pumped Storage Hydro Project. This system uses three independent systems for checking reservoir levels. Two of them automatically trip the units, if necessary. Fiber optic communications are used to link instrumentation at the upper reservoir to the powerhouse.
