Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Project receives 60 tons of cement after 17 days

                                      https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com
60 tons of cement that were stranded for 17 days due to the lockdown has reached Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Project site in Rasuwa district. The construction works had been halted since the last two weeks due to the lockdown. The cement had been transported to Ramche of Rasuwa district on March 24 and had been kept there because of the lockdown.
Chhabi Gaire, project head, said that the cement had been transported through six vehicles to the project site on Friday. “The supply had reached Ramche on the first day of the lockdown,” he said, “The supply had to be kept at the location because the movement of vehicles was restricted after the announcement of nationwide lockdown.” The drivers were not allowed to bring the cement to the project site.
The cement was taken to the project site in coordination with the District Administration Office and local authorities. The vehicles have returned back on Friday after unloading the cement at the project site in Tatopani.
The project work had slowed down due to the current lockdown and lack of construction materials. There are 530 Nepali and 160 Chinese workers in the project site. According to the project officials, there is no scarcity of diesel and rods but construction works were halted due to lack of cement.
The project had started the construction of tailrace tunnel. According to the project officials, 70 meters of digging is left out of the total 660 meters tailrace. The work needs to be completed before the monsoon.
The project also faced in the construction of dam site and surge shaft area. The project was halted due to dry landslide on June 20, 2019 and resumed the work from December 18, 2019.
The project that is being built in Timure, Gosaikunda Rural Municipality-2 of Rasuwa has completed 75% of the construction work. China International Water and Electric Corporation (CWEC), the contractor responsible for the construction of the civil structure, has constructed the tunnel.
The construction of 111 MW capacity project started from February, 2014 with the target to complete the project by August 2017. The construction works were affected by the 2015 earthquakes, Indian blockade and seasonal floods. The Chinese contractor had halted the construction works for four months after different areas of the project site were hit by landslides. The project will generate 613.87 GWh of electricity annually and earn Rs 12.5 million per day.
The project is estimated to cost Rs 13.68 billion. Chilime Hydropower Company owns 33% of the shares in Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Project. Similarly, Employment Provident Fund (EPF) and Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) own 19% and 18% of the shares, respectively. The general public own 15% of the shares in the project and 10% of the shares were distributed to the locals affected by the project. There will be 3.5% shares for employees of the promoter company and 1% of the shares will be provided to employees of the lending companies.

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 a Pelton and Francis turbine for example, will help make the choice easier. The following table gives a basic idea of which particul

Types of Hydropower Plants

                                                   There are three types of hydropower facilities: impoundment, diversion, and pumped storage. Some hydropower plants use dams and some do not. The images below show both types of hydropower plants. MPOUNDMENT The most common type of hydroelectric power plant is an impoundment facility. An impoundment facility, typically a large hydropower system, uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity. The water may be released either to meet changing electricity needs or to maintain a constant reservoir level.                                                www.boland-hydroturbine.com DIVERSION A diversion, sometimes called run-of-river, facility channels a portion of a river through a canal or penstock. It may not require the use of a dam. PUMPED STORAGE Another type of hydropower called pumped

Hydropower, the only solution for cheapest power generation

                                                 https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ Hydropower has the lowest life-cycle cost of any power generation technology. Hydropower is a potential life-saver for Pakistan. Yet its development has been hampered for decades. Hence, only 15 percent of Pakistan’s over 60,000MW hydropower potential has been developed in 70 years. Hydropower plants power generation can give a country economy a new path of progress. Despite initial costs and long gestation periods, hydropower plants have almost no fuel cost and have operational lives of over a century. New hydropwer plants generate electricity at Rs6-10 per unit compared to thermal power plants’ Rs15-25 per unit. All other power-generating technologies have up to 30 years of project life and need up to four times expensive plant replacements in foreign exchange. Wind and solar technologies are solely dependent on the weather. They can at best supplement but not replace hydropower which, amo
