Tenders invited for Ruzizi III hydropower project

 

                                                  https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/

Ruzizi III Energy Limited, developer of the Ruzizi III Regional hydropower project on the boundary of Rwanda and DRC, is inviting contractors to submit expressions of interest for an Engineer-Procure-Construct (EPC) tender.

Ruzizi III hydropower plant project highlights the importance of ensuring reliable and affordable electric power supply to achieve sustainable economic transformation. The project which is shared by Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is anticipated to generate more than 147MW of electricity, the electricity will hence be shared equally amongst the three participating countries with Rwanda getting at least 50MW of electricity


The power plant is being developed a public-private partnership. The private sector project sponsors are Industrial Promotion Services of Kenya and  SN Power of Norway,and the public parties are the Governments of Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwanda.

The project will be located on the Ruzizi River at the border between DR Congo and Rwanda. The EPC contract will include the engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of a 45m height embankment dam with associated spillway, low level outlet, and eco-flow powerhouse, a 3.8km long, 6 to 7m diameter, concrete-lined headrace tunnel from the dam reservoir to the powerhouse, penstock and unit penstocks, power station and switchyard, a 8.3km long 220 kV double-circuit transmission line connecting the Ruzizi III substation to the regional dispatch station in Kamanyola (DRC), access roads from Bugarama (Rwanda) and Kamanyola (DRC) to the dam site, and all ancillary and related works.

The power station will have three generating units giving an installed capacity of at least 150MW. Ruzizi III Energy Limited will pre-qualify contractors and consortia to tender for the RIII-EPC contract. Pre-qualification documents will be made available, in electronic format for free, in a dedicated virtual data room. Interested applicants may request access to the VDR by sending an email to RuziziIII_EPC_Prequalification@ruzizienergy.com. All queries related to the pre-qualification should be sent via email to the following email address: RuziziIII_EPC_Prequalification@ruzizienergy.com.

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
