Abstract
This paper outlines an accurate method of determining, from duration curves, the reliable power rate, and plant and reservoir capacities for a combination of hydro-electric plants and reservoirs on streams with similar flow distribution, but not necessarily in the same basin. The method can be utilized for these problems only by studying data for exactly one reservoir cycle. This procedure is fundamental, and may have been overlooked by other investigators; at least, no study has been found in which this factor has been emphasized.
