This document provides an overview of hydro power plant components and types. It discusses the three types of power houses: surface, semi-underground, and underground. Surface power houses have components on the surface but are limited by topography. Semi-underground power houses combine advantages of surface and underground. Underground power houses are located entirely inside mountains with access tunnels. The document also summarizes the main components of hydro power stations including dams/barrages, water conductor systems, and power houses as well as different types of hydro power projects.

Image result for hydro power plant in india
India is the 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world ranking third worldwide in the total number of dams. As of 31 March 2016, India's installed utility-scale hydroelectric capacity was 42,783 MW, or 14.35% of its total utility power generation capacity.
Hydroelectric power is power harnessed from converting the energy coming from running water. The mechanical energy is transferred from a rotating turbine to a generator, which produces energy. Hydro power is a shorthand term that can be used in place of hydroelectric power, both mechanical and electric.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. HYDRO POWER PLANT
BASIC TERMS, TYPES and
COMPONENTS
By
Prasad Vejendla
Faculty in Mechanical Engineering
KHIT, Guntur

2.
3. TYPES OF POWER HOUSE
• Surface.
• Semi Under Ground
• Under Ground.
4. SURFACE POWER HOUSE
• All components of the Hydro power projects are
on the natural/excavated ground surface.
Surface power house has the advantage of pre-determined
topography ,design and is easy to
construct. However, these have the
disadvantage of limitation of head available as
per the topography.
• In such projects the water inlet to the machines
could be from a penstock or from a tunnel
terminating into a penstock. The water outlet
goes into a tail race.
• If the power house is located just adjacent to the
Dam then it is sometimes called a Dam-toe
power house.
7. Semi Underground powerhouse
Some components of the power house are
underground, while others are on surface.
The advantages of both surface &
underground are clubbed together in a
semi-underground powerhouse, provided
topography & geology so permit.
8. UNDER GROUND POWER HOUSE
• Depending on the topography, a power house may
have to be located inside a mountain. Such a
power house is called an under ground power
house.
• In such power houses the complete power house
equipment are located inside Cavern. In such
power houses various tunnels such as Head race
tunnel for the water inflow to the turbine, Tail race
tunnel for water out flow of the turbine and various
access tunnel have to be provided inside the
hill/mountain.
• Such power houses take greater amount of time
and capital cost to construct.
9. Contd---
• This is very advantages as it overcomes
the limitations of head available as per
topography and provide compact and
economical layout.
• This requires less land and consequently
reduce rehabilitation and resettlement
problems(R&R). However, this has the
disadvantages of geological uncertainties
resulting into indeterminate design and
construction problems leading to time and
cost over runs

15. TYPE OF HYDRO POWER
PROJECT
• Multi-purpose Project
• Purely Hydro-electric Project
• Run of river project
• Storage Project
• Pump Storage project
16. Multi-purpose Project
Power generation may be one of the
benefits along with Flood Control,
Irrigation, Navigation, Drinking Water
Supply etc.
Purely Hydro-electric Project
Project is conceived exclusively for
power generation.
17. Run of River Project
• As the name implies, the project is planned as run of
the river.
• Water is diverted from the river, routed through the
water conductor system and finally water after
generation of power is thrown back to the river at a
lower level on down stream.
• It takes advantage of the drop in elevation that
occurs over a distance in the river and does not
involve water storage.
• Power generation fluctuates with the river flow and
the firm power is considerably low, as it depends on
the minimum mean discharge.
• Canal power projects are also run-of-river projects.
18. Storage Project
• Storage projects provide storage or
pondage and thereby, evens out stream
flow fluctuations and enhances the water
head.
• It increases firm power and total power
generation by regulating the flow.
• Providing storage is complicated and
costly as it involves construction of dam.
19. Pump Storage project
• Pump storage projects involve reversible turbines,
which can generate power from water of upper
reservoir during peak hours and pump back water from
lower reservoir to the upper reservoir during off peak
hours.
• These projects are advantageous in power system of
mix type, which have thermal and nuclear power
houses in addition to hydro power projects.
• Pump storage project utilizes the off peak surplus
power of the grid in lifting the water from lower
reservoir to higher reservoir and generates power
during peak hours thus flattening the load curve.
20. HYDRO DEVELOPMENT- IMPORTANT
TERMS
• FRL (FULL RESERVOIR LEVEL)
FRL is the Upper level of the reservoir (selected based
on techno-economic& submergence considerations)
• MDDL (MINIMUM DRAWDOWN LEVEL)

drawn down to withdraw waters for energy generation
(selected from considerations of silt & turbine
operational limits)
• GROSS STORAGE
Total storage capacity of the reservoir
21. Hydro Development- IMPORTANT TERMS-Cont
• DEAD STORAGE
Reservoir storage which cannot be used for generation
and is left for silt deposition( below MDDL)
• LIVE STORAGE

generation (between FRL & MDDL)
• FIRM POWER

hydrological data at 90% dependability
• FIRM ENERGY

22. Hydro Development- IMPORTANT
TERMS- Cont

peak-load occurring in that period
• DIURNAL STORAGE
Storage required to meet daily variations in load demand. It
depends upon the minimum flows and peak discharges.
23. Hydro Development- IMPORTANT TERMS
Cont
• CRITICAL PERIOD
Most critical period with respect to system load
requirements, begins when reservoir begins
delivering water for generation from full i.e the
available storage is fully drafted at one point
during the period; and the critical period ends
when the storage has completely refilled.

reservoir live storage is completely drafted while
meeting firm energy requirements
