WHAT IS DVC ?
DVC (Damodar Valley Corporation)a legacy to the
people of India, emerged as a culmination of attempts
made over a whole century to control the wild and
erratic Damodar river. The river spans over an area of
24,235  km2 covering the states of Jharkhand
(Dhanbad, Bokaro, Hazaribagh, Koderma, Giridih,
Chhatra, Palamau, Rachi, Lohardaga and Doomka) &
West Bengal (Burdwan , Hooghly, Howrah, Bankura and
Purulia).
OBJECTIVES/PURPOSE :
 FLOOD CONTROL.

 IRRIGATION.
 WATER SUPPLY- INDUSTRIAL AND DOMESTIC.
 NAVIGATION & DRAINAGE.
 GENERATION, TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF
ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
 AFFORESTATION AND CONTROL OF SOIL EROSION.
 PROMOTION OF PUBLIC HEALTH, AGRICULTURE,
INDUSTRIAL, ECONOMIC AND GENERAL WELL BEING IN
THE VALLEY.

OVERVIEW
Power Generation
 Entrusted with the responsibilities of
providing the vital input power for industrial
growth in the resource rich Damodar Valley
region, DVC has been practically operating as a
pioneer, using latest available technologies to
supply bulk power at reasonable rates to
the major industries.

 DVC has maintained its lead role in the

eastern region by adopting itself to the
challenges of time and technology during the
course of last 59 years. DVC has been generating
and transmitting power since 1953 and has
succeeded not only in meeting the needs of
consumers but has also helped to increase the
demand of power which itself is an index of
development.
MAITHON HYDEL POWER STATION
Maithon Hydal Power Station is
located on the river Barakar 12.9
km above its confluence with the
Damodar near the border of
Dhanbad and Burdwan districts of
the state of Jharkhand and West
Bengal respectively. The unique
feature of this hydal power station
is that it is located underground in
the left bank of the river and is the
first of its kind in India. The Power
station has a total generating
capacity of 60 MW with 3 units of
20 MW each.
How Hydropower Works
WATER TURBINE:
water turbines are used to convert
the energy of falling water into mechanical
energy.
 PENSTOCK:
It is a closed conduit which connects the fore bay or surge tank to the scroll
case of the turbine.

GENERATED POWER
 ELECTRIC POWER
TRANSMISSION
ELECTRIC-POWER TRANSMISSION IS THE BULK TRANSFER
OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY, FROM GENERATING POWER PLANTS
TO ELECTRICAL SUBSTATION LOCATED NEAR DEMAND
CENTERS.

HAT IS AN ELECTRIC SUBSTATION?

A SUBSTATION IS A PART OF AN ELECTRICAL GENERATION, TRANSMISSION
AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. SUBSTATIONS TRANSFORM VOLTAGE FROM
HIGH TO LOW, OR THE REVERSE, USING STEP-UP OR STEP-DOWN
TRANSFORMERS.

STATE.
III) COST OF REPAIR OF DAMAGE TO BE KEPT MINIMUM.
IV) TO RESTRICT POSSIBILITY OF SPREADING AND INVOLVING
OTHER EQUIPMENT.
V) TO REDUCE TIME THE EQUIPMENT OUT OF SERVICE.
VI) TO MINIMIZE COST OF REVENUE LOSS.

Characteristic of Protection:

I) VERY FAST
II) SELECTIVE
