Captive Use Mini Hydropower Project for Pumping Station
The hydropower potential of India is one hundred and forty five Gigawatts, and the tapped potential is only twenty six percent. This potential is exploited in the form of large and small hydropower (SHP) projects. SHPs are classified as micro hydro for capacity less than 100 kW, mini hydro for 101 kW to 2 MW and small hydro for 2 to 25 MW. The electricity is vastly used for pumping water from dug wells at banks of Jhajhhar Nallah to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra, Jammu & Kashmir, India. The monthly consumption of the pumping station is around 1lac units. The development of a mini hydropower project is proposed for the captive water pumping operation on the small stream, Jhajhhar Nallah, next to the pumping station. It was found that a Mini Hydropower Project of 200 kW shall be adequate to cater to the university's present and future pumping needs. The estimated cost of the project is $306 Thousand. The annual power expense of the pumping station is $88 Thousand. The cost recovery is estimated at 4.5 years, whereas the project life is 50 years. The pumping station is required to run for 14 to 16 h a day. For the rest of the day, electricity produced shall be used to fulfill the royalty paid to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. The pumping station must run on all days of the year, so the required discharge is 100% dependable, corresponding to the lean season discharge. In the absence of discharge data for the Jhajhhar Nallah, the discharge measurement was done using the float method for the day when there had been no rain for 10 days in the nearby catchment. The discharge measurements were done in the month of June 2022. The velocity was found to be 0.6 m/s. The area was measured at the upstream and downstream ends of the selected study site. The average area of the stream was noted as 1.2 m2. Hence the average discharge was noted to be 0.72 m3/s. As per the calculations, the required head is 32 m.
