Uzbekistan wraps up Kadyrinskaya Hydropower plant modernisation

Uzbekistan’s Energy Ministry has announced the completion on time of the three-year project to modernise the Kadyrinskaya Hydropower Plant, which was marked in a ceremony attended by foreign partners and representatives from the Kadyrinskaya HPP-3 plant and Uzbekhydroenergo, Uzbekistan’s state hydropower producer and developer.

“The modernisation of the Kadyrinskaya HPP-3 plant is a great step forward in making effective use of Uzbekistan’s hydropower potential and forming a unified system for managing water and energy resources,” Uzbekistan’s Deputy Energy Minister Sherzod Khodjaev said. “Progress in Uzbekistan’s hydropower industry will increase energy efficiency and the contribution of renewable energy to the country’s energy balance,” he added.

The modernisation of Kadyrinskaya HPP-3 was in cooperation with a leading Chinese hydropower enterprise and a team of Chinese specialists, Uzbekistan’s Energy Ministry said on August 3, adding that the project cost was $27.6 million, and capital was provided through a $9.8 million Eximbank loan from China and $17.8 million from Uzbekistan’s own funds.

Modernisation of the plant has increased its capacity from 13.23 MW to 15.34 MW and average annual power output to 124.4 million kWh.

The project to modernise Kadyrinskaya HPP-3 is one of several ongoing investment projects to both construct new hydropower plants and modernise existing ones. It is part of Uzbekistan’s ambitious national energy strategy seeking to generate a quarter of all electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The strategy aims for 3.8 GW of hydro energy, 5 GW of solar energy and up to 3 GW of wind energy.

In line with the Nationally Determined Contribution under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Government of Uzbekistan is committed to the general goals of policy for improving energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy in the country’s energy balance.

The Uzbek ministry said the project, which commenced in December 2017 following a Presidential Decree, was completed on time despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. During the last months of the project, employees and contractors worked around the clock under special quarantine conditions.

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 ...
