1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Hydropower: Global status
Hydropower is the leading renewable source for electricity generation globally, supplying 71% of
all renewable electricity. Reaching 1,064 GW of installed capacity in 2016, it generated 16.5% of
of world’s electricity from all sources.
India is the 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world. As of 30th April, India’s installed
utility scale hydroelectric capacity was 44,594 MW, or 13.5% of its total utility power capacity.
Additional small hydroelectric power units with a total capacity of 4,380 MW (1.3% of its total utility
power generation capacity) have been installed. India’s hydroelectric power potential is estimated at
84,000 MW at 60% load factor. In the fiscal year, 2016-2017, the total hydroelectric power generated in
India was 122.31 TWH (excluding small hydro) with an average capacity factor of 33%.

2. OVERVIEW
2.1 HYDRO SYSTEM OVERVIEW
A hydro system is a series of inter connected components: water flows in one end, and electricity
comes out the other.
• BALANCING RESERVOIR: A balancing reservoir is one from which water is not abstracted for
household chores or drinking rather it is used in conjunction with other reservoirs upstream in
order to ensure that whatever happens to water supply and demand upstream, an acceptable
water level is maintained in the river downstream of the reservoir chain.
• FOREBAY: A reservoir or canal from which water is taken to run a waterwheel or turbine.
The channel conducts the water from the intake to the forebay tank. It forms the connection
between channel and penstock. The main purpose is to allow the particles to settle down
before the water enters the penstock.

Figure 2: Forebay.
• WATER DIVERSION (INTAKE): A water diversion system serves two primary purposes.
The first is to provide deep enough pool of water to create a smooth, air free inlet to the pipeline.
The second is to remove dirt and debris.
• PIPELINE (PENSTOCK): The pipeline is responsible for not only moving water to the
turbine, but is also the enclosure that creates head pressure with increasing vertical drop. In
effect the pipeline focuses all water power at the bottom of the pipe where the turbine will
connect. In contrast, an open stream dissipates the energy as it travels down the hill.

• POWERHOUSE: The powerhouse is simply a building that houses the turbine, generator and
controls. Proper design significantly affects systems efficiency, however, especially with regard
to how the water enters and exits the turbine.
• TURBINES: It is the heart of the hydro system, where water power is converted into the
rotational force that drives the generator. It is arguably the most important component of the
system, because it’s efficiently determines how much electricity is generated. The turbines
used in this power house are of Francis type. The selection of turbines depends on their
operating heads and flow rate. The head and flow rate of Francis Turbines are:
There are 24 guide vanes outside the runner of the Turbine which controls the flow rate of water.
The opening and closing of guide vanes is done by using servo motors, automatically as well as
manually.

3. COMPONENTS AND OPERATION
3.1 TURBINES
A turbine is a rotator mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful
work. The work produced by the turbine can be used in generating electrical power when combined
with a generator or producing thrust. A turbine is a turbo-machine with at least one moving part called a
rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades so that
they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor.
WATER TURBINE: A water turbine is a rotator machine that converts kinetic energy and potential energy
of water into mechanical work. Water turbines were developed in the 19th century and were widely used
for industrial power prior to electrical grids. Now they are mostly used for electrical power generation.
Water turbines are mostly found in dams to generate electric power from water kinetic energy.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Flowing water is directed on the blades of a turbine runner, creating a force acts through a distance. The
water flowing in the river possesses two types of energy; The Kinetic energy due to the flow of
water and potential energy due to the height of water. In hydroelectric power plant, the potential
energy of water is utilized to generate electricity.
The formula for total power that can be generated from water in hvdro electrical power plant due to
its height is given:
P = rgh
Where, p is the power produced in watt and r is the rate of flow of water which cubic meter/
second, 'h' = height of water which is measured in meter its also head water. The difference between
source of water (from where water is taken) and water out flow (where the water is used to generate
electricity, it is the place near the turbines). g is the gravity, constant 9.8 m/s square.
The formula clearly shows that the total power that can be generated from the hydro Electrical power
plants depends on two major factors: the flow rate of water, and volume of flow of water and height
6
or head of water. More the volume of water and more the head of water more is the power produced
in the hydro electrical power plant.
Water turbines are divided into two groups; reaction turbines and impulse turbines.
Impulse turbines change the direction of flow of a high velocity fluid or gas jet. The resulting
impulse spins the turbine and leaves the fluid with diminished kinetic energy. There is no
pressure change of the fluid or gas in the turbine blades. Before reaching the turbine, the fluid’s
pressure head is changed to velocity head by accelerating the fluid by a nozzle. Impulse turbines
do not require pressure casement around the rotor since the fluid jet is created by the nozzle
prior to reaching the blades of the rotor. Newton’s second law describes the transfer of energy
for impulse turbines. These turbines are most efficient for use in cases where the flow is low and
inlet pressure is high.
Reaction turbines develop torque by reacting to the gas or fluid’s pressure or mass. The pressure of
the gas or fluid changes as it passes through the turbine rotor blades. A pressure casement is
needed to contain the working fluid as it acts on the turbine stages or the turbine must be fully
immersed in the fluid flow. The casing contains and directs the working fluid and, for water
turbines, maintains the suction imparted by the draft tube. Francis turbines and most steam
turbines use this concept. For compressible working fluids, multiple turbine stages are
usually used to harness the expanding gas efficiently. Newton’s third law describes the
transfer of energy for reaction turbines.

flow reaction turbine that combines radial and axial flow concepts.

affecting power production.
• Draft tube: The draft tube is a conduit that connects the runner exit to the tail race
where the water is discharged from the turbine. Its primary function is to reduce the
velocity of discharged water to minimize loss of kinetic energy at the outlet. This permits
the turbine to be set above the tail water without appreciable drop of available head.
• DRIVE SYSTEM: The drive system couples the turbine to the generator. At one end
it allows the turbine to spin at its optimum rpm. At the other, it driver the generator
at the rpm that produces correct voltage and frequency.
• GENERATOR: The generator converts the rotational power from the turbine shaft into
electrical power.

Figure 8: Generator.
Large synchronous generators are used to generate bulk power at thermal, hydro and nuclear power
stations. Synchronous generators with power ratings of several hundred MVA used in super-power are
used in generating stations. Synchronous generators are the primary source of the world’s electric
power systems today. For bulk power generation, stator windings of synchronous generators are
designed for voltages ranging from 6.6KV to 33KV.

• GOVERNORS AND CONTROLS: Governors and other controls help ensure that the generator
constantly spins at its correct speed. With no load whatsoever, the generator would ‘freewheel’,
and run at a very high rpm probably causing damage. But by adding progressively higher loads,
the generator will slow down until it reaches the exact rpm for proper voltage and frequency.
As long as the load “design load” is maintained, power output will be correct.

3.4 HIGH/LOW PRESSURE COMPRESSOR UNITS
The compressor units are installed in the power house in order to regulate the pressure and maintain
it upto desire level for oil lubrication & cooling of different equipments in the power house.
The tale pool water goes ahead to meet with other river through tail race. The breadth of tale race is
smaller than tale pool so that the water gets quickly off from tail pool.
