1 Course on IntegratingRenewableEnergySourcesintoEmerging ElectricPowerSystems (16-20 May, 2011) IIT Mandi SMALL HYDRO POWER GENERATION By : Dr. R.P. Saini Associate Professor AlternateHydroEnergyCentre, IndianInstituteofTechnologyRoorkee Roorkee , INDIA

2 ENERGY Conventional Sources of Energy Thermal Hydropower Nuclear Non-conventional(renewable) Source of Energy Solar Wind Biomass Small Hydro

3 HYDRO POWER SOURCE OF ENERGY Why hydropower is called renewable source of energy? becauseituses and not consumesthewaterforgenerationof electricity,andleavesthisvitalresourceavailableforotheruses.

4 WORLD WIDE CLASSIFICATION OF SMALL HYDROPOWER UK (NFFO) < 5 MW UNIDO < 10 MW India < 25 MW Sweden < 15 MW Colombia < 20 MW Australia < 20 MW China < 25 MW Philippines < 50 MW New Zealand < 50 MW

5 CLASSIFICATION OF SHP IN INDIA Class Station Capacity Micro Upto 100 kw Mini Small 101 kw to 2000 kw 2001 kw to kw

6 POWER EQUATION OF HYDRO Water is fed from stream/canal to the turbine by a closed pipe (penstock) through diversion works. The turbine in turn rotates the generator for electricity generation. Power (kw) = 9.81 x Discharge (cum/s) x Head (m) x Efficiency

7

8 TYPE OF SCHEMES RUN OF RIVER No storage. The output is subject to instantaneous flow. Reliability of discharge and geological conditions should be ensured. CANAL BASED Utilises the fall and flow in the canals. May be planned in main canal or in bye-pass canal. Nearby drops should be clubbed in existing canals. In canals under planning concentrated drops should be considered. DAM BASED Dam toe schemes are most common in India. Water stored during monsoon is utilised for power generation.

16 INFLATED WEIR In this system rubber bag is bolted on concrete floor with river bed level/weir crest. The rubber bag is comprised of multiple inter woven layers of chloroprene rubber and nylon, which provide excellent friction and weather resistance properties. There are now at probably over several thousand installations and Manufactured in China, France, Germany, USA and Japan.

19 TYPES OF POWER CHANNEL Open Channel Rectangular Trapezoidal Triangular Closed Conduit Reinforced concrete pipe PVC pipes Steel pipes

20 MATERIALS FOR LINING Stone Masonry Concrete lining Lining with LDPE Shortcrete lining Brick tiles lining RCC section

21 DESIGN OF LINED CHANNELS Q = 1/n AR2/3 S ½ Where, Q = discharge, m3/s n = Manning s coefficient R = Hydraulic radius (m) A = Cross-Sectional Area (m2) S = The longitudinal slope.

22 DESILTING ARRANGEMENTS Preventive : The entry of sediment checked before its entry into the head regulation. These are constructed in the streams. Curative : The sediment is excluded from the channel after its entry with the channel. These are constructed in the channel.

23 DESILTING TANK Thedesiltingtankisdesignedconsideringfollowingparameters: -Siltparticlesizecoarserthan0.5mmaretoberemoved. -Horizontalvelocity(Vh)-0.60m/s -Settlingvelocity(Vf)-0.06m/s -Cross-sectionalareaofthetank(Width(b)xdepth(d)= hvh -Lengthoftank= Vf Q Vh

24 DESILTING TANK

25 FOREBAY A basin located just before the entrance to the penstock PURPOSES OF FOREBAY To provide immediate water demand on starting the generating unit It can serve as a final settling basin The forebay provides some storage in case of sudden failure of the system To spill the extra water

26 COMPONENTS OF FOREBAY Basin Spillway Gate or Valve Outlet Trashrack Air Vent 1 to 2% of penstock area.

27

28 STORAGE Usually designed for a storage of 2 minutes A dead storage of about 0.5 m depth is provided for silt accumulation

29 PENSTOCK Steel Pipe P.V.C Reinforced Concrete Pipe and Prestressed concrete pipe Glassfibre reinforced plastic pipe Wood stave Glass fibre reinforced concrete
