Uzbekistan wraps up new hydropower plant on time despite pandemic

 

Uzbekistan’s state hydropower producer and developer, Uzbekhydroenergo, announced on March 30 the commissioning of Zarchob Hydropower Plant (Zarchob small HPP-1) after a four-year construction project.

The project, which commenced in August 2017 following a Presidential Decree, was completed on time despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and has started to satisfy industrial and commercial demand for electricity in the Surkhandarya region, Uzbekhydroenergo said.

“Today’s successful commissioning means our country’s hydropower potential is actively growing, and we thank Uzbekistan’s hydropower engineers for their outstanding due diligence, dedication, and work,” Uzbekhydroenergo Chairman Abdugani Sanginov said. “Commissioning of the Zarchob small HPP-1 plant will make an important contribution to an optimal use of Uzbekistan’s natural resources, boost energy efficiency and increase renewable energy’s share in our country’s energy mix,” he added.

Senior representatives from Uzbekhydroenergo and UE Tupalang HPP, as well as staff from Zarchob small HPP-1 attended the commissioning ceremony for the plant.

This project is one of several ongoing investment projects to construct new hydropower plants and modernise existing ones. It is part of Uzbekistan’s ambitious national energy strategy to generate a quarter of all electricity from renewable sources by 2030, the Uzbek Energy Ministry said, reminding that the strategy aims for 3.8 GW of hydro energy, 5 GW of solar energy and up to 3 GW of wind energy.

In 2020, Uzbekhydroenergo commissioned six HPP modernisation and construction projects with total capacity of 118.3 MW, capable of producing 543 million kWh of electricity. The projects created 103 new jobs and the total cost was $212.6 million, $101.4 million from Uzebekhydroenergo’s own funds and $111.2 million of foreign loans.

The Zarchob plant is in the Sariasia district of Surkhandarya region of Uzbekistan. It has two hydroelectric units with total capacity of 37.4 MW and uses water from the Tupalang River via a 480-meter tunnel and a 1,300-meter canal.

The construction project was developed by Hydroproject, a subsidiary of Uzbekhydroenergo, with construction executed by To’palang HPD Platinum.

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 ...
