The following page lists hydroelectric power stations that generate power using the run-of-the-river method. This list includes most power stations that are larger than 100 MW in maximum net capacity, which are currently operational or under construction.
For example, a low-head hydro power plant with hydrostatic head of few meters to few tens of meters can be classified either as an SHP or an LHP. [30] The other distinction between SHP and LHP is the degree of the water flow regulation: a typical SHP primarily uses the natural water discharge with very little regulation in comparison to an LHP.
The other type is called a run-of-river plant. In this case, a barrage is built to control the flow of water, absent a reservoir. The run-of river power plant needs continuous water flow and therefore has less ability to provide power on demand. The kinetic energy of flowing water is the main source of energy. [13] Both designs have limitations.
Pallivasal Hydroelectric Project is the first hydroelectric project in Kerala, India. The project consists of 2 reservoirs, 2 dams, a diversion dam and a power house and is owned by the Kerala State Electricity Board. The power house of the project has been constructed at Chithirapuram in Pallivasal Gram Panchayat, Munnar, Idukki District.
The Chaira Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plant has an electricity generation capacity of 864 MW and a pumping capacity of 788 MW, making it the largest pumped storage plant in Southeastern Europe. The upper leveler of the plant is the Belmeken Reservoir, to which it is connected via two 1.7 km pressure pipelines.
Batang Toru hydropower plant is developed by PT North Sumatra Hydro Energy (PT NSHE), [1] a company founded in 2008. The pre-construction phase of the power plant has been started after the Purchasing Power Agreement (PPA) contract with the National Electricity Company (PLN) was signed on December 21, 2015.
The Kirirom 1 Dam is an embankment dam located in the Kirirom National Park of Koh Kong Province, Cambodia. The project purpose is to supply of electricity to Electricité du Cambodge (EDC) (hereinafter referred to as "EDC") in accordance with the power purchase agreement signed between "Licensee" and "EDC" on 28 July 2000 Kirirom I (completed 1965; partially destroyed 1975; re-commissioned ...
The Mingachevir Dam (Mingachevir Hydro Power Station) is an earth-fill embankment dam on the Kura River just north of Mingachevir in Azerbaijan.It serves several purposes, including hydroelectric power production and water storage for irrigation. [1]
