Quang Nam in Vietnam pulls plug on four hydropower plants

 

The central province of Quang Nam has scrapped plans for building four hydropower plants, the province People's Committee said.

Nguyen Hong Quang, its deputy chairman, said Monday the People's Council decided to remove four small and medium-sized projects -- A Vuong 4 in Tay Giang and Dong Giang districts, Song Bung 3 in Nam Giang District, A Banh in Tay Giang District, and Dak Di 4 in Nam Tra My District – from the list of planned hydropower plants as they have low capacity, severely impact the environment, require large tracts of land, and bring low economic benefit.

The fact their investment procedures were tardily completed impacted the planning and construction of other infrastructure and caused disapproval in the community, he said.

"The scrapping of these hydropower projects is also to re-evaluate the impacts of small and medium-sized hydropower plants."

Two other plants in Nam Giang District, Cha Val and Dak Pring 2, are also being considered for removal, according to the People's Council.

The central province plans to have in all 46 hydropower plants that will generate 2.175 billion kWh annually. Thirteen are operational and seven others are being built.

But the province has repeatedly been hit by natural disasters that were severely compounded by dams. Last October heavy rains, floods and landslides killed 43 people and left 13 others missing and 350 injured.

Nearly 5,000 houses were destroyed or severely damaged.

Infrastructure damage was estimated at around VND11 trillion ($479.5 million).

In December the Ministry of Industry and Trade called on provinces to rescind plans for small hydropower projects, and only go ahead with projects that do not have a significant impact on the environment, residential areas or forests.

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 ...

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...
