    Feasibility of Hydropower capacity additions at the Granite Falls dam
    (1981-08-01) Gake, Loyal; Garver, Rodrick; Gulliver, John S.; Renaud, Richard
    The Granite Falls Dam is located on the Minnesota River in Granite Falls, Minnesota. The existing dam and powerhouse were constructed by the City of Granite Falls for the generation of hydroelectric power. There are currently two open flume Leffel units with Francis turbines generating electricity in the powerhouse. Unit No.1, installed in 1940, is rated at345kW with 21 ft head. Unit No.2, installed in 1932, is rated at 260 kW with 18 ft head. The net head at the site is approximately 18 ft, so the maximum generating capacity of the existing facility is 525 kW. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of augmenting the existing facility with additional capacity, or of replacing the existing units with larger turbine units.

    Feasibility of Hydropower Rehabilitation At The Lanesboro Dam, Mn 00517
    (St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, 1982-12) Gulliver, John S.; Gake, Loyal; Renaud, Richard
    The Lanesboro Dam is on the South Branch of the Root River near the center of the City of Lanesboro, Fillmore County, Minnesota. The existing hydropower facility at the dam was operational until 1978, when the reservoir was drawn down due to inadequate dam safety. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of rehabilitating the existing powerhouse turbine units for hydropower operation.

    Hydropower Feasibility at the St. Cloud Dam
    (1981-09-01) Knowlton, Robert J.; Garver, Rodrick J.; Gulliver, John S.; Renaud, Richard
    The Mississippi River Darn MN 00506 is located on the Mississippi River in St. Cloud, Minnesota. Power generation at the original darn was discontinued in 1967, at which time ownership was transferred from Northern States Power to the City of St. Cloud and plans were made to construct the present darn. The existing darn, completed in 1972, replaced the original darn which was constructed in 1887. The existing powerhouse and facilities were removed. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of redeveloping hydropower production facilities· at the St. Cloud Darn.
