WAPDA calls 2019 an “historic year” for Pakistan’s hydropower sector

                                                  https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/
The Pakistan Water & Power Development Authority says 2019 was a historic year for the development of water and hydropower resources in Pakistan.
Record generation of hydroelectricity was supplied to the National Grid, and construction work on the 800 MW Mohmand Dam project was initiated in May 2019.
The hydropower stations owned and operated by WAPDA provided 34.678 billion units of electricity to the system in 2019. This is 6.321 billion units more compared with 2018 at 28.357 billion units.
WAPDA says, “The optimal operation of three hydropower projects, completed last year in a phased manner, proved to be a good omen.” These projects alone generated 9.372 billion units cumulatively in 2019, with 4.741 billion units from the 1,410 MW Tarbela 4th Extension Hydropower Project, 4.519 billion units from the 969 MW Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project and 0.111 billion units from the 108 MW Golen Gol Hydropower Project.
The rest of the generation was contributed by other hydropower stations, with Tarbela Hydel Power Stations at 10.831 billion units, Ghazi Barotha at 6.594 billion units, Mangla at 4.005 billion units and others at 3.986 billion units.
Hydropower is the cheapest and most environment-friendly source of electricity, WAPDA says. The contribution of WAPDA hydroelectricity to the system greatly helped the country in meeting electricity needs and stabilizing the electricity tariff for consumers during the year.
In addition, WAPDA says it achieved vital targets for the construction of mega-dams to avert the looming water crisis in the country. The construction of Mohmand Dam commenced on May 2, 2019. Mohmand Dam is the first mega multi-purpose dam undertaken during the past 51 years after Tarbela Dam, construction of which was started in 1968.
Similarly, the evaluation of bids for consultancy services and construction works of Diamer Basha Dam is almost complete. Construction of this mega-project is likely to start in the next two months, according to WAPDA.

Get to know China’s wind farms —— Inner Mongolia Ulanqab Wind Farm(wind power)

  Introduction Inner Mongolia is the richest region in China in terms of wind resources and the closest to the country's electricity load, making it ideal for the development of mega wind power bases. Because of its unique wind resources, it has become a haven for investment companies to capture wind power projects. The most representative of these projects is the first phase of the Wulanchabu wind power project, which is the pinnacle of China's wind power industry. Construction time： On September 26, 2019, the world's largest single onshore wind farm, the first phase of the 6 million kilowatt demonstration project of the Ulanqab Wind Power Base, officially began construction.   Total investment： The Wulanchabu Wind Power Base Phase I 6 million kilowatt demonstration project is the first wind power project to be included in the national plan for clean energy parity outbound transmission, with a total static investment of 36.1 billion yuan, making it the largest single onsho...

Water Turbine Design for Small Scale Hydro Energy

                                                  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 ...
