1-1. Purpose
This manual provides guidance and assistance to design
engineers in the development of electrical designs for new
hydroelectric power plants. The manual should be used
when preparing electrical designs for hydroelectric power
plants for civil works facilities built, owned, or operated
by the Corps of Engineers. Treatment of electrical systems
for pumped storage plants is not covered in the
manual, although much of the information is applicable to
pumped storage plant systems and subsystems.
