Description:

Course title and code: Waterpower Essentials - APS1410H

 

Course description: This course presents an overview of the waterpower industry, beginning with its ecological and historical contex, how power stations work, and their major components. After a site tour, students will consider the major decision making factors in the design of a waterpower facility: policy and planning considerations, the business case, commercial markets, and risk management. With this, the finer details of power station design are introduced: turbine selection, electrical and control components, as well as how these components work. Further, students are introduced to operations and maintenance considerations, contract models, and dam safety. A course project will mirror these topics, as students evaluate the feasibility of a greenfield waterpower facility. With the support of industry professionals, students will work through the complexity and ambiguity of a development project.
