Hydrological Design of Jakhol Sankri Hydroelectric Project 2 X 25 5 MW

Abstract

India’s hydropower potential is estimated at around 1, 50,000 MW, out of which only 33920.80 MW (23.34%) has been tapped so far. Uttarakhand's hydropower potential is estimated at around 20,000 plus MW, out of which only 3226.40 MW (about 17.93) has been developed and 1825MW (10.14%) is under construction so far. The Jakhol Sankri Hydroelectric Project (JSHEP) forms a part of the cascade development planned along river Supin and river Tons (after its confluence with the river Tons) in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand State. The main goal of the project is to determine the maximum design flood and power potential capacity of the proposed structure and provide simple designs to some of its components. 10 daily discharge data for 33 years duration have been taken from SJVN Office, B.C.S., Shimla (H.P.) and the annexures have been worked from the above data to estimate the design flood for the barrage structure. Project report also consists of justification of plant capacity of 51 MW as well as provides some simple designs for some components of the Hydroelectric Plant
