    The document discusses the calculation of flow duration curves and the power generation capacity of run-of-river (ROR) and peaking run-of-river (PROR) hydroelectric plants in Nepal. It analyzes monthly discharge data to determine a design flow of 1045 m3/sec for a PROR plant in Eastern Nepal. The analysis shows surplus and deficit power production over months that could be exported via cross-border transmission lines to India.

    Calculation of flow duration curve:

    Fig 1: Monthly discharge of various months

    Fig 2: Flow duration curve for Project: Central Region of Nepal


    Hence, from the flow duration curve Q40 = 165 m3/sec.

    Calculation of Power and Energy


    Efficiency considered = 89%

    Project: Eastern Region of Nepal

    1. PROR Type:
    The storage capacity available for this project is 1036 million m3. This storage capacity is utilized for
    the dry month where the river flow rate is usually very less, so that additional flow can be created
    with the help of stored water in order to increase the generation capacity. From the available data of
    river flow it is seen that flow rate is less in month November-May. Thus, during this period the plant
    is used as peak load plant operating 4 hours a day. So, volume of water is stored during 20 hours
    when the plant is operating.
    Hence, from the flow duration curve Q25 = 1045 m3/sec, which is considered as the design flow for
    the plant.
    ANALYSIS:
    From the curve sown in figure 4, the deficit and surplus power for various months is shown in table
    given below,
    The above analysis shows the capacity of ROR and PROR plant obtained from available monthly
    discharge data of river. The analysis have been done till 2017 showing the status of surplus and
    deficit power after injection of these power into NEA power system. It shows that huge amount of
    power could be exported via cross border transmission line to India.

    Since I have shown the procedures regarding ROR and PROR plant in this blog, if you find problems
    regarding storage type hydro power plant then please feel free to contact me.

    Next blog would be about power evacuation techniques and procedures from these hydro-power
    plants.
