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.

Baihetan Hydropower Station set to help with China’s carbon goal

  The Baihetan Hydropower Station has officially started storing water as the gate of number two diversion bottom hole closed on April 6, meaning the world's largest hydropower project under construction has taken a critical step toward the goal for the first batch of hydropower units to start generating electricity on July 1.  With the closing of the gate, the reservoir water level began to rise from 655 meters, according to a statement from Sinohydro Engineering Bureau 8 Co, adding that the reservoir water level will be stored to 775 meters in mid-June to meet the conditions for the first batch of hydropower-generating units to start operation. From August to September, the reservoir water will be stored to 800 meters, and then gradually stored to the normal storage level of 825 meters in June 2022. The total storage capacity of Baihetan Reservoir will be 20.627 billion cubic meters, which accounts for 91 percent of the Jinsha River Basin. The flood control reservoir is an i...

                                              https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ The global hydropower market is likely to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.4% until 2030. That’s according to data and analytics company GlobalData, which expects the sector will reach more than 165GW of installed capacity by this time, up from 124GW at the end of 2018. More than 18% of global electricity generation capacity currently comes from hydropower plants, with China, the US, Brazil, Canada, Russia, India, Japan, Norway, Turkey and France representing almost 70% of this proportion at the end of 2018. Ankit Mathur, Practice Head of Power at GlobalData, said: “China, which is rich in hydro resources, will continue to preserve its monopoly as the leading country until 2030, with more than 22 projects of gigawatt size under construction, slated to...
