Conowingo Hydroelectric Power Station and Muddy Run Pump Storage Facility Welcomes the Citizens Advisory Committee

Presentation Title2 Susquehanna River Basin Pennsylvania New York Maryland 27,500 sq miles

Presentation Title3 Conowingo Dam Constructed 1926 to 1928 at a cost of $73M (1928 $s) 4,648 feet long and 104 feet tall 11 generators with a capacity of 572 MWs Contributes on avg. approx 1.8 million megawatt hours annually to the grid or the equivalent of burning 2100 tons of coal /day Generating hydraulic capacity is 86,000 cfs; higher flows are managed by opening crest gates

Presentation Title4 Typical Hydro Plant 1 – Dam face and headworks area 2 – Trash rack and intake 3- Scroll Case and turbine or water wheel 4 – Generator 5- Transformer 13kv to 220 kv 6 – Transmission lines7- Tailrace or discharge

Simplified Hydro turbine - generator Presentation Title5 Hydro generating units operate at relatively slow speed 80 rpm Wicket gates control the flow of water into the turbine

Presentation Title6 Conowingo Dam – Crest Gate Operations Crest Gates are use as required to control pond level during high river flows Conowingo has 50 Crest gates, each passes 16,000 cfs or 7.2 million gals/min Up to 80 notifications are made to notify downstream emergency services, government agencies and commercial businesses All fifty crest gates were open only twice in past 1937, 1972

Presentation Title7 Fish Passage at Conowingo Dam Conowingo Dam is unique in that it operates two “Fish Lifts”, specialized elevators that Exelon uses to transport American Shad and other fish species West Fish Lift Constructed in Primary use is for US Fish and Wildlife Service hatchery stocking East Fish Lift Constructed in Primary use is for downstream to upstream movement of fish for spawning Fisherman’s catwalk was closed in 2001 after 9/11 and in response Exelon constructed the Fisherman’s Wharf which was completed in 2009 American ShadTotal All Fish ,272915, ,757857, ,571289, ,1431,109,911

Muddy Run Pumped Storage Facility Presentation Title8 Pump storage in simplest form is like a rechargeable battery Eight (8) units with a total combined capacity of 800 MWs When electric demand is low MR pumps up water from the river (charging) to upper reservoir and when demand is high MR generates electricity by releasing same water back into the river

Muddy Run Pump Storage Powerhouse cross section Presentation Title9 penstocks Water is transported from upper reservoir to the generators through tunnels or penstocks Concrete section is 24.5’ dia, 550’ long; Steel section is 14’ dia, 400 ‘ long MR units are approx 410 feet below the upper reservoir, turbine is 80’below river level Generator produce 13 kv power which is stepped up to 220 kv for transmission lines

Muddy Run Upper Canal – construction phase Presentation Title10 Upper reservoir canal is 2300’ long Canal is concrete lined and includes a 200’ spillway section

Hydro provides essential services to the grid Presentation Title11 Conowingo and Muddy Run provide “Black Start” capability for PJM Back up power for Peach Bottom Station
