Optimal Sizing of Low Head Hydropower Plant- A Case Study of Hydropower Project at Head of UCC (Lower) at Bambanwala
Pakistan is facing serious shortfall of electricity for few decades. Small hydropower projects can alleviate the worsening situation. The sizing of a low head hydropower plant plays a vital role in establishing the feasibility of the project. The plant needs to be optimized for energy produced, efficiencies of the plant components, number of units and its financial/economic parameters. This pap...
متن کاملIntegrated Evaluation of Increasing Irrigation Efficiency and Reducing Discharge Impacts on Hydropower Generation of Basin Water Resources System(Case Study: Dez Irrigation Network – Dez Dam)
World electricity production today is heavily dependent on water resources. Studies have shown that global warming and climate changes will have significant impacts on available water resources to produce hydroelectric power. Considering that the reservoir dam in the catchment area of Dez is simultaneously a producer of hydropower and supplier of water needed for agricultural land, the aim of t...
متن کاملDownstream effects of hydropower production on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in two rivers in Costa Rica.
Despite the fact that little is known about the consequences of hydropower production in tropical areas, many large dams (> 15 m high) are currently under construction or consideration in the tropics. We researched the effects of large hydroelectric dams on aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages in two Costa Rican rivers. We measured physicochemical characteristics and sampled aquatic macroinver...
متن کاملModeling California’s high-elevation hydropower systems in energy units
[1] This paper presents a novel approach for modeling high-elevation hydropower systems. Conservation of energy and energy flows (rather than water volume or mass flows) is used as the basis for modeling more than 135 high-elevation high-head hydropower sites throughout California. The unusual energy basis for reservoir modeling allows for development of hydropower operations models for a large...
متن کاملWater level control system for a low-head run-of-river variable speed small hydropower plant
This paper presents part of the work carried out within the framework of a research project entitled Application of variable speed and intelligent control technologies to hydropower generation. Specifically, it is focused on the activities performed in order to achieve one of the main objectives of the project: the design of a water level control system for a low-head run-of-river variable spee...
