Boland Hydropower

                                              https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ The four hydropower projects—671-megawatt (MW) Shweli (3) hydropower project, 280-megawatt (MW) Upper Yehwa hydropower project, 111-megawatt (MW) Thahtay hydropower project and 51-megawatt (MW) Upper Kyaingtaung hydropower project—will continue implementations during 2019-2020 fiscal years, said a source from the Ministry of Electricity and Energy. The projects we will continue implementing during 2019-2020 FY include 622.38 miles of 66-KV power lines, 22 66-KV sub-power plants, 132-KV, 230-KV, 500-KV, 1488.15 miles of power lines, 25 sub-power plants, 23-megawatt  Myanaung natural gas-fired power plant, 152-megawatt Ale Paunglaung hydropower project, 671-megawatt (MW) Shweli (3) hydropower project, 280-megawatt (MW) Upper Yehwa yydropower project, 111-megawatt (MW) Thahtay hydropowe...

Global warming will cause substantial glacier retreat for the majority of the world’s glaciers over the next few decades. This will not only spell the end for some magnificent natural monuments, but also importantly affect the water cycle. In high- mountain regions, these ice masses act as reservoirs feeding water to large river systems, and balancing seasonal discharges. Without glaciers, rivers would carry considerably less water in summer, which would have noticeable consequences for water availability, energy production and agriculture in many regions of the world. Researchers had previously discussed the idea of compensating the shrinking storage function of glaciers with reservoirs (see Zukunftsblog – in German only). A group of glaciologists from ETH Zurich and the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL is now again engaging in the discussion about the dwindling ice: in a study published in Nature, they investigate the global poten...

                                                  https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ Selecting the Best Type of Water Turbine Design Selecting the best type of water turbine design for your particular situation often depends on the amount of head and flow rate that is available at your particular location and whether it is at the side of a river or stream, or the water is to be channelled or piped directly to your location. Other factors include whether you want an enclosed “reaction turbine design” such as the Francis turbine or an open “impulse turbine design”, such as the Pelton turbine as well as the speed of rotation of your proposed electrical generator. By analysing all of these factors together you can get some indication of what type of  Water Turbine Design  may work best for your particular situation. Knowing the difference between ...

                                           https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com Who Invented Hydroelectricity? Lester Allan Pelton was an American inventor who is recognised as one of the founding fathers of hydroelectric power due to his invention of the Pelton Wheel, which is also often referred to as the Pelton Turbine or Pelton Impulse Turbine. Born in Vermilion, Ohio on September 5, 1829, Pelton grew up in a rural setting working on the family farm and attending the local school. He would relocate to California in 1850 during the time of the gold rush where he would become both a carpenter and millwright. Pelton would make his “accidental” discovery sometime in the 1870’s before going on to invent the Pelton Wheel. Lester Allan Pelton later died on March 14, 1908 in Oakland, California and was buried at his family site in Vermilion, ...
