HYDROPOWER SCENARIO OF INDIA

India is the second fastest growing economy of the world and the 6th largest energy consumer
which accounts for 3.4% of the total world energy consumption. As the country continues to
tread on the road to growth and development, dependable and reliable energy sources become a
prerequisite. India is endowed with economically exploitable and viable hydro potential assessed
to be about 84,000 MW at 60% load factor (1,48,701 MW installed capacity). In addition, 6780
MW in terms of installed capacity from Small, Mini, and Micro Hydel schemes have been
assessed. Also, 56 sites for pumped storage schemes with an aggregate installed capacity of
94,000 MW have been identified. However, only 19.9% of the potential has been harnessed so
far. India is endowed with rich hydropower potential; it ranks fifth in the world in terms of
usable potential. However, less than 25% has been developed or taken up for development. Thus
hydropower is one of the potential sources for meeting the growing energy needs of the country.
A judicial mix of hydropower in the energy portfolio can also contribute to energy security,
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, meeting the peak demand and also increased flexibility in
grid operation. Besides, projects may also be conceived as multi-purpose ones contributing not
only to power but also to irrigation, flood control, navigation, etc. The Government of India is,
therefore, giving special emphasis to accelerated hydropower development in its power
development plans.
In the past various factors such as the dearth of adequately investigated projects, environmental
concerns, resettlement and rehabilitation issues, land acquisition problems, regulatory issues,
long clearance and approval procedures, power evacuation problems, the dearth of good
contractors, and in some cases, inter-state issues and law and order problems have contributed to
the slow pace of hydro power development. There have been large time and cost overruns in case
of some projects due to geological surprises, resettlement and rehabilitation issues, etc. However,
considering the large potential and the intrinsic characteristics of hydropower in promoting the
countrys energy security and flexibility in system operation, the Government is keen to
accelerate hydropower development. For the purpose of which it has taken up many initiatives in
this direction. A number of hydropower corporations have also been established in the central
sector and in the joint sector (Central and State). These include the NHPC, North-Eastern
Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO), Nathpa-Jhakri Power Corporation (NJPC) now SJVN
Limited and Tehri Hdyro Development Corporation (THDC).

INDIAS POWER SCENARIO

The primary energy sources of India are coal, nuclear fuel and hydro power. Indian Power
System is a mix of all these conventional sources of Electrical Energy. Indias Installed Capacity
as on 31.12.2008 is as under:

The sector wise Hydro Capacity as on 30.10.2008 are as under:

Central : 8592.00 MW
State : 26825.76 MW
Private : 1230.00 MW
The total installed capacity- Hydro is 36647.76 MW.

HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA

India is blessed with immense amount of hydro-electric potential and ranks 5th in terms of
exploitable hydropotential on global scenario. India has achieved a fairly high degree of selfreliance in hydropower technology. Nevertheless, there is a continuing thrust toward adoption of
new technologies.

NAITWAR MORI HEP(60MW)

INTRODUCTION
The Naitwar-Mori Hydroelectric Project located in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand state
envisages utilization of the water of river Tons for power generation on a run of the river type
development harnessing a head of about 96.76 m.
In November 2006, Lahmeyer International Engineering Consultants with its companies in India
and in Germany were entrusted by Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd with the contract for Preparation
of Feasibility Study Report, Bankable Detailed Project Report, Bid Documents, Bid level
Drawings and Technical Specifications.
The project will harness 2,300 million m3 of Tons Rivers annual run-off at Naitwar village in
Uttarkashi District. The generation capacity of the project with Installed Capacity of 60 MW (2 x
30 MW) is 263.50 GWh in a 90% dependable year.

NEED FOR PROJECT

Indias hydropower potential is estimated at around 1, 50,000 MW, out of which only 30,000
MW (20%) has been tapped so far. On the other hand, the gap between demand and supply of
power has been increasing at a much faster rate as the countrys economic growth rate picked up
in the last decade. Demand for electric energy is growing at an average annual compound growth
rate of 7-8% per year , there is a shortfall in energy by 9% and in peak demand by 14%.
Presently, the total installed capacity in India is 1,30,000 MW which is almost 22% less than the
present requirement 1,60,000 MW. To overcome this acute power shortage, Government of India
has initiated a number of steps for development of new power projects and provide power for all
by 2012. Out of this, hydropower is expected to account for almost 50%.
Development of hydropower potential can significantly help bridge the gap between power
demand and supply. In addition to meeting the power demand of the country, development of
hydropower also helps in the development of water resources in general.
The development of hydropower in Uttarakhand will not only benefit the state but also meet the
power requirements of the neighbouring states and northern region of the country. Uttarakhand is
presently a net importer of electric power, but generates a seasonal surplus and plans to become a
net exporter of power by 2010 by expanding its hydropower and high voltage transmission
capacity. Total capacity expansion of 10,000 megawatts(MW) is planned by the year 2018. The
development of Naitwar Mori project is a step in the direction of achieving the above targets.
The Naitwar Mori Hydroelectric Project (NMHEP) forms part of the cascade of development
planned along river Tons. There are two hydropower projects under operation on river Tons .

TOPOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY OF THE PROJECT AREA

TOPOGRAPHY:
The topography of the area is immature i.e. it shows rugged topography with lofty mountains,
steep slopes and a number of deep gorges. The valleys are generally V-shaped with alluvial
terrace deposits on either bank. The thickness of alluvial deposits varies between 10 m and 50 m.
Tons river at Naitwar flows along a V shaped valley. A number of settlements have come up
along the river Tons as Tiuni, Naitwar and Menus.

GEOLOGY:
Gentler slopes are covered with scree material, consisting of broken pieces of rock embedded in
rock powder. At some places creep is observed in overburden material where the overburden
material is saturated with water and the toe of the material is eroded by river action or by human
activity.

GENERAL CLIMATIC CONDITIONS IN THE PROJECT AREA

The climate of the area is generally temperate; it is warm in summer, humid during monsoon and
cold in the winter. In the winter season, the higher regions of the Himalayas receive precipitation
as snow while moderate rainfall occurs in the foothills and adjoining plains. There is no
temperature recording station within the catchment, however the temperature recorded in the
nearby town varies from 0 to 35C.

CONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY & EQUIPMENT PLANNING

Construction Schedule
The project is proposed to be completed within a time span of 48 months (forty eight months).
The construction of roads & bridges shall be completed within 16.5 months after award of
package. Activity wise tentative construction programme has been prepared and as shown in the
figure 1.0 . The project schedules are drawn with a view to complete all the works and
commission the project in the shortest possible duration. Construction activities in
different parts of the project will be so sequenced as to optimize the use of construction
equipment and
machinery. Access to the various work sites
and
all
the basic
infrastructure facilities are to be parallel activities alongwith works provided as.
For the construction of various components of the Project, it is proposed to mobilize the
latest equipment in order to get consistent quality and faster progress rate. Special attention
has been paid for the equipment planning for the underground works so as to optimize the
equipment cost and extract faster progress rate as construction of underground works will be
critical considering the restricted working space and
geological uncertainties to be
encountered.
1.1.2 (B) PROJECT COMPONENTS
Naitwar Mori Hydroelectric Project (NMHEP) envisages diversion of water from river Tons at
about 580 m downstream of its confluence with river Rupin for power generation by
constructing a Diversion Barrage. The diverted water would be carried to the powerhouse
through 5.60 m dia , Modified Horse-Shoe shaped and 4.313 km long Head Race Tunnel
(HRT) with a Twin chamber Surface Desilting Tank provided upstream of the HRT intake The
underground powerhouse would be equipped with 02 Nos. units of 30.0 MW each, run by
vertical Francis type turbines. The water released by turbines is carried through a tailrace
tunnel/channel to join the river Tons at upstream of its junction with the Saira gad.
The project has been planned to have the following main component structures:
Diversion Barrage & Diversion Works
Power Intake and Desilting Tank
Head Race Tunnel

DIVERSION BARRAGE AND DIVERSION WORKS

a) Diversion Works
To facilitate the construction activities for the Barrage works, area has to be protected against the
possible monsoon flood with proper river care. River
diversion
works envisages
construction
of
Diversion channel on the right bank with upstream and downstream
cofferdams.
Diversion channel with invert level of E.L. 1252.50 m is proposed on the right bank to divert the
non-monsoon flood for providing dry working area during construction of Barrage. Length of
this
diversion
channel
will
be approximately 210 m with base of stone pitching
throughout the length. Excavation of the diversion channel will be carried out from upstream
and downstream ends in order to expedite the river diversion. Along the total length of channel
stone pitching is done with concrete retaining wall on the river side. Excavator will be
mobilized to remove the excavated muck which will be removed through the suitable capacity
dumpers.
Once the diversion of river flow through channel is done, construction of cofferdam
on upstream and downstream side of the Barrage axis shall be commenced. Excavated
muck from channel works will be utilized for construction of cofferdams.
Cofferdams at both u/s and d/s will be constructed after excavating riverbed for about 1.0 m
to 1.50 m, and provided with clay core after providing closure dykes and diverting the river
flow into the Diversion Channel. During excavation of riverbed for cofferdams and
concurrent to rising of cofferdams, dewatering pumps will be used to pump excess water.
A temporary causeway by using 1.2m dia hume pipes shall be constructed to cross the diversion
channel and to facilitate the stage-I & stage-II construction activities in Barrage area.

b) BARRAGE
i) Excavation
Excavation of Barrage site area including the top soil removal is approximately estimated as
51,520 cum and excavation in rock is about 2740 cum. Total Excavation is divided into four
phases (Refer Drg. No.-4). Initially Excavation in abutment area will be commenced from Left
Bank (Phase-I) after rising of cofferdams. Excavation in the river bed portion will be
commenced after excavation of abutments. All these activities will be completed in one (01)
month duration.
Excavation for the riverbed portion will be done in benches depending upon the level of
excavation is required to be carried out. Considering the depth of excavation to be carried out,
internal temporary ramps of suitable slope will be established for smooth removal of muck and
movement of other equipment. On reaching the requisite base levels along the barrage axis,
foundation treatment will be carried out. During
excavation, in case of seepage water,
dewatering pumps will be mobilized to remove the excess water to provide dry area for
foundation treatment.

ii) Concreting Works for Barrage

Total estimated concrete quantity for the Barrage portion is about 45,210 m3.Since full area of
Barrage is proposed to be protected against the river water by constructing cofferdams
on
upstream and downstream side at inlet and outlet of Diversion Channel,
foundation treatment will be carried out on reaching the required level of excavation for
Barrage base. It is proposed to provide lean concrete (M10) at Barrage bases along the width of
Barrage with Raft concrete for Pier foundation at E.L. 1241.50 m. Concrete will be
pumped and conveyed to the required location through the Chute system. Concrete for the Raft
foundation and laying of Lean concrete will be carried out through the width of Barrage.
It is also proposed to provide seepage sealing arrangement of asphaltic concrete core cut
off wall on the left and right bank side of the earthen embankment upstream of barrage axis.
Concreting of piers will be done in lifts of maximum height of 1.50m. Concrete will be poured
through Truck mounted Crane. The maximum height to which the concrete is required to be
poured is about 16-18 m from the existing surface level. Shuttering handling for concreting of
piers and Breast wall will be done with Truck mounted crane.
Total estimated concrete quantity (grade wise) for various components of Barrage is worked out
as per the Drawings are as below:
Construction of barrage including diversion work has been divided into two stages. In Stage-I,
first phase includes construction of diversion channel work and
filling for coffer dam
both at upstream and downstream of barrage axis. On completion of river diversion through
29

the diversion channel, second phase will include the construction of barrage and intake
structure upto E.L. 1258.00 m. On completion of barrage concreting upto E.L. 1258.00 m,
water will be redirected through the barrage portion. In Stage-II, concreting for the
remaining portion of barrage above E.L. 1258.00 m will be carried out along with the
installation of
gates at barrage and
intake structure. Simultaneously, excavation and
concreting works for the desilting basin will also be completed during this stage.

River Diversion Works

Diversion Channel
River diversion works envisages construction of Diversion channel on the right bank with
upstream and downstream cofferdams. Diversion channel with invert level of E.L.1252.50 m is
proposed on the right bank to divert the non-monsoon discharge of 250 cum/sec (1 in 25 Years)
flood for providing dry working area during construction of Barrage. Length of this diversion
channel will be approximately 210 m with base of stone pitching throughout the length.
The following are the key points:

Total quantity of Excavation involved is around 17180 cum.

Diversion channel is envisaged to be completed in 1 month period.
Total quantity of Concreting involved is around 1015 cum.
