Ed Kennell 44,072 #1 Posted November 18, 2025 Nope, not an Eaton or a Sundstrand transmission. Just some information on the US Army Corp of Engineers hydro projects. I had the honor of working with the Corp on the development of most of their hydro plants. My son managed the recently completed Ice Harbor project. https://www.facebook.com/WallaWallaUSACE 5 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 30,434 #2 Posted November 18, 2025 (edited) @Ed Kennell It would take 27+ of our new 3.25Mw generators ( each burning over 500 gallons of diesel per hour ) to equal just one of the smaller 90Mw turbines at that site. They are powering three 90Mw plus three 111Mw turbines at the Ice Harbor plant. The power of water and gravity is almost unbelievable. For those that aren't into electric 1Mw = 1,000,000 watts Edited November 18, 2025 by Achto 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
