Cost of building the plant and return on investment is fast compared to large hydro and hence would attract many private investors to invest. * Rehabilitation and resettlement which is the major concern in a democratic country like India and hence this scheme is the most useful. * There is no loss of forest land due to submergence. * WRITE A NOTE ON ECONOMY OF HYDRO VIS-À-VIS OTHER SOURCES OF GENERATION

Hydro Electric Power Plant in Tamil Nadu Amaravathi Dam at Amaravathinagar‚ 25 km south on SH 17 from Udumalpet‚ is located in Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary in Coimbatore district‚Tamil Nadu‚ India. The 9.31 km²‚ 33.53 m deep[1] Amaravathi Reservoir was created by this steep dam. It was built primarily for irrigation and flood control and now also has 4 megawatts of electric generating capacity installed. It is notable for the significant population of Mugger Crocodiles living in its reservoir

energy supply. Accordingly‚ micro-hydro system is becoming increasingly popular as an energy source in rural Nepal. Use of environmental friendly technologies and implementation of sound legal and institutional issues are critical to improve the reach of the population to hydropower. To make plan targets in the power sector a reality directly more resources to the power projects focusing on rural population remains the pre-requisite. The major strategies of the power sector have been appropriately identified
Premium Hydroelectricity Electricity generation
Power: Hydro power is created by capturing the energy of falling water. The following is the basic calculation for determining the hydropower potential of a given site: kW = 9.8 Q H g where Q = flow (m3/sec)‚ H = height (m) and g = overall efficiency. Energy: Energy is the amount of power delivered over time‚ often expressed as kilowatt-hours (kWh). Average annual energy is calculated by multiplying the average annual usable flow by 8‚760‚ the number of hours in a year. Project Cost: Project

Advantages of hydro power ADVANTAGES: * Once a dam is constructed‚ electricity can be produced at a constant rate. * If electricity is not needed‚ the sluice gates can be shut‚ stopping electricity generation. The water can be saved for use another time when electricity demand is high. * Dams are designed to last many decades and so can contribute to the generation of electricity for many years / decades. * The lake that forms behind the dam can be used for water sports

Coal power vs. Nuclear power Safety & Efficiency With nuclear power came what was thought to be a more clean alternative to burning coal and other fossil fuels; Nuclear power does not produce nearly as much of the greenhouse gases as coal produces. People and society have given nuclear power a bad name‚ considering the amount of accidents that have happened. Although when you look at statistics it’s not as many as you would believe‚ or expect. When nuclear power is put head to head with coal

Hydroelectric power: The World’s Established Renewable Energy Resource For over a century‚ hydroelectric power has been used to generate electricity from falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Hydroelectric dams create height for the water to fall and provide storage. In general‚ the higher the dam‚ the more potential energy is available. Building up behind a high dam‚ water accumulates potential energy. The

In some countries‚ special standards for micro hydro and/or isolated village electrification have been agreed. These standards should be followed even if they disagree with the recommendations given here. Please read the disclaimer at the front of this manual. 9.3 Earth-fault protection An earth

Together nuclear power plants and hydroelectric dams provide about 50% of the power generated for the United States doing so in a clean and efficient manner. Both systems have their ups and down‚ radiation and disrupting ecosystems for example‚ but their benefits far outweigh the small risks and problems they create. We have progressed in leaps and bounds in power development making these two much safer and efficient than most other ways to generate electricity. Hydroelectric dams create a substantial
