  • Abstract
    Studies in preparation for the installation of a second unit at Hiwassee Dam showed that the 26-per-cent additional installed cost of a pumpturbine-type unit was justified by economic and operating advantages. Design and operation characteristics of this 80,000-hp unit, as well as the field test to begiven after initial operation, are discussed.
