Hydroelectric projects can be disruptive to surrounding aquatic ecosystems both upstream and downstream of the plant site. Generation of hydroelectric power changes the downstream river environment. Water exiting a turbine usually contains very little suspended sediment, which can lead to scouring of river beds and loss of riverbanks. [48]
Nandipur Hydropower Plant (NHPP) is a small, low-head, run-of-the-river hydroelectric power generation station of 13.8 megawatt generation capacity (three units of 4.6 MW each), located at Nandipur near Gujranwala, Punjab province of Pakistan, on the flows of Upper Chenab Canal. It is located at 32°90'0N 74°11' 0E.
The hydro power project diverts Godavari River basin water outside the basin area to a west flowing river of Western ghats. The power station is located between both the upper and lower reservoirs. During peak electricity demand hours, water from the upper reservoir turns two 125 MW reversible Francis turbine-generators. When energy demand is ...
Gandak Hydro Power Station is a hydro-electric plant located in Pratappur, Nawalparasi district of Nepal. [3] The flow from Narayani River is used to generate 15 MW electricity and annual energy is 106.38 GWh. [4] The plant is a part of irrigation facility in the Gandak River constructed as a part of India-Nepal Gandak River Agreement. [1]
The location of the project is about 28 km upstream of Mangla Dam Reservoir. [1] Gulpur Hydropower Project is a run-of-the-river project designed for the generation of 100 megawatts (130,000 hp) consisting of two Kaplan-type turbine units with an average energy output of 436 Gwh. [2]
Kaplan turbine and electrical generator cut-away view. The runner of the small water turbine. A water turbine is a rotary machine that converts kinetic energy and potential energy of water into mechanical work. Water turbines were developed in the 19th century and were widely used for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now, they are ...
It is a complex project with four dams including the largest dam on the Koyna River, Maharashtra, hence the name Koyna Hydroelectric Project. The project site is in Satara district. The Koyana Dam situated near Koyananagar village. On river Koyana. The total capacity of the project is 1,960 MW. The project consists of four stages of power ...
This is achieved by converting the gravitational potential or kinetic energy of a water source to produce power. [1] Hydropower is a method of sustainable energy production. Hydropower is now used principally for hydroelectric power generation, and is also applied as one half of an energy storage system known as pumped-storage hydroelectricity.
