Storage Type Hydropower Project
If you pump casually, you will pump forever. Pump hard to begin with and keep it up until you get that water flowing. Then a great deal will happen.
WATER FOR LIFE AND CIVILIZATION
Water for life
Water has been the key to the civilization ever since the start of the human development. Ancient Egyptyian civilization was also known as the gift of nile. Mesopotamian civilisation and the indus valley civilization in the east were on the river side.
Water for agriculture..agriculture for food...food for life
Water for power

Power Situation in Nepal
Nepal rely heavily on traditional source of energy. Fuel wood = 68% Bio mass = 13% Fossil fuel = 18% Hydropower = 1% Sources of energy in Nepal

Solution to power?
Water Power
Hydrological Status of Nepal
Total annual average run-off from the nation's 600 perennial rivers :over 200 billion cu.m Around 20,000 litres of water per person per day Average annual precipitation is approximately 1700mm. 80% in monsoon season june to september.
Hydropower potential
Nepal's storage potential is estimated at 88 billion cu.m. Theoretical power potential is approximately 83,000 MW( Dr. Hari Man Shrestha) More recent estimation:52000 MW (IOE Theseus) Economically feasible potential : 43,000 MW Power harnessed: 718MW

WHY HYDROPOWER?
Energy sources
Traditional Energy
Wood, animal dung, agricultural-waste etc.
Commercial Energy
Fossil Fuel, Electricity etc. Alternate Energy sources Bio-gas, Solar panel, Wind etc.
Features of Hydropower
Clean and renewable Energy Cheap Energy Easy to control High efficiency
A green energy

Hydropower wonders then and now
Hoover Dam
First great achievement was in the form of Hoover dam constructed across the Colorado river in Black canyon of Arizona Constructed between 1931 and 1936 was the largest structure to be built then with still untested construction techniques Concrete thick arch structure 726.4 ft. high 1244 ft. long 660ft. Thick at base and 45 ft. at top Storage capacity 30,500,000 acre feet Power generation 2.8 million kilowatts
Three Gorges Dam
Largest hydropower project of the world spans the Yangtze River by the town of Sandouping, located in Yiling District, Yichang, Hubei province, China Completedc in 2006 Capacity of 22500 MW
WHY HAS THERE BEEN SUCH DIFFERENCE?
Geological factors Availability of Tenchnolgy Research Sound political and policy making
Constraints in Nepal
Geological difficulty Technological complications Young geology Low capital investments/ poor economy Political instability
Status of current powerplants in Nepal
Dificulties and Problems
Before we even initiate
Geological And Environmental
Seasonal Power Production Variations Sedimentation Transportation
Political
Decade-long conflict between the government and Maoists Obstruction in the construction of new hydroelectric power plants No proper policy to attract private sectors Butans 20 year hydro-power master plan Failure of our tenth five year plan
Political
If we have a look at the periodic development:

MONEY
What is money?
Money is the basic need that fulfills all the other basic needs.
Money is paper, but not really.
Money is the mode of financial transactions.
Money in the project
Infrastructure Development
Transportation of goods and construction materials
Construction of engineering structures Payment Operation and Maintenance cost
Economy and Hydropower
Apart from being a source of energy, hydropower is an important asset for our economical development.
Our overall economy is considerably affected both directly and indirectly by electricity generation ,which makes the role of hydropower very significant. Economy ,its strength and stability determines the favorability to extract maximum energy from our resources and create an investment friendly environment.
Financial Problems in Hydropower
Lack of budget
Imbalance in budget prioritization
Role of broker companies
Corruption
P.P.A.(Power Purchase Agreement)
Agreement done between government authority and private companies. PPA is done under the Single Buyer Model.
In SBM, private ownership in electricity generation only.
Electricity Act doesnt officially recommend such a system but it is prevalent as a situational default. With the introduction of Wholesale Competition Market, single buyer concept will be dissolved.
