HYDROPHONE DEVELOPMENT ON EXISTING IRRIGATION HEADWORD-THE CASE OF KURAZ IRRIGATION DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Full and complete utilization of water resources is an economic and social advantage to all members of a society. Kuraz sugar development project was planned and built only for irrigation water requirement, even though there are large amount of excess inflow exceeding normal inflow of irrigation requirements. The aim of the study was assessing hydropower potential on existing headwork of Kuraz irrigation development project. Input data considered were, salient futures of headwork, coffer dam and spillway including irrigation requirement, stream flow, and map of the site. An effort was made to identify possible power plant site by topomap for existing headwork for alternatives, the result indicates that it is possible at left side spillway for intake level of 480 m.a.m.s.l to 465 m.a.m.s.l at tail water level resulting gross head of 15m. Flow duration curve was done to analyze availability flow for existing water use, environmental requirement and power generation. Design discharge giving maximum benefit considering dimension of the project and site condition, subtraction of irrigation and environmental flow from average available flow 92m3/s selected. Hydrologic Engineering Center Reservoir Simulation Model (HEC-ResSim) for hydropower simulation was performed to evaluate the performance of different water uses, time distribution of water and power production. The result indicates that potential power of 11MW can be developed by release of 92m3/s. Based on the specific and head, Kaplan turbine is appropriate. If more than one of these turbines are appropriate for the job, than it will be necessary to compute installed power and electricity output against cost before making decision. It can be concluded that it is possible to use untapped hydropower at possible site nearby and excess water exceeding existing water demand by integrating existing infrastructure without affecting the project benefit and surrounding environment of Kuraz Irrigation headwork.
