Hydropower Engineering
Hydropower projects are large complex engineering feats that require cutting edge analysis of design options to minimize environmental and human impacts while at the same time allowing safe and efficient power generation. The EFDC+ Explorer Modeling System provides the tools required to support the designer, operator and regulator in hydropower engineering projects throughout their life cycle.
Dam Break and Flooding
Flood extents modeling is typically carried out to determine impacts of a dam break scenario.
Intake Analysis
Engineers often need to consider a range of layouts for hydropower intake design.
Tailwater Analysis
Assessing the potential for tail-water scour downstream of a dam is a key issue in hydropower projects.
