  • Abstract
    The Wallace Dam Pumped Hydro Project was placed in full commercial operation in December 1980. This paper describes the significant features of this combination run-of-river and pumped storage project. Full-voltage, across-the-line starting is used for the 83,000 hp motors, making this the largest known unit using this starting method. The control system, using hard-wired, relay logic is also described.
