Planned Project

 

(I)    Kanhar Pumped – Storage Hydroelectric Project

 

1.1              Introduction

 

            Kanhar Hydroelectric Project would be a part of Kanhar River development Scheme of which irrigation portion is being implemented by water Resources Department, Government of  Bihar. The Kanhar Reservoir at Baradih is primarily and essentially meant for providing irrigation to drought-prone area of Palamau district. The district is chronically drought affected and irrigation provided in the region is quite inadequate this results in frequent failure of crops. By storing water of the river Kanhar, there would be considerable relief in overcoming aforesaid problems. The power development will be secondary utilization.

(IV) Sankh Hydroelectric Project

 

 

0.1              Executive Summary:

 

·                    River Sankh, a major tributary of the Brahmani basin an area of 6478 km2  and in its 203 km. Long coarse drops from an elevation of +1037m to 192m.

 

·                    The hydro power potential of the river can be developed in five stages.

 

·                    Stage-II with an installed capacity of 186 MW can be taken up first in the development sequence, the planning and designs for stage II have been presented in the report (yield from Bihar Catchment).

 

·                    Stage-II development envisages a dam at Turuma where the river drains an area of 116 km2 (Bihar catchment only) and 2046 km2  of total catchment.

 

·                    The 90% dependable yield of the river (Bihar catchment only) at the Turuma has been estimated as 463.20 million m3 and the average annual yield 687 million m3 in the river portion.

 

·                    The site is geologically suitable for construction of a rolled fill earth dam in the river portion with masonary gravity spillway on the right flank and masonary power dam on the left flank.

 

·                    The dam extends over a length of 1236m and maximum height in earth dam portion is 47.05 m.

 

·                    The portable maximum flood for which the spillway has been designed is 14600 cumecs.

 

·                    The reservoir has a gross capacity of 867.62 million cumec at FRL 680m.

 

·                    The Turuma, power house at the to of the dam on the left flank has an installed capacity of 2 units 3 MW each, and the tail race is let into a power channel.

 

·                    The power channel from Turuma traverses 30.8 km. And empties into forebay at Budhamba. The Channel has a design discharge of 18 cumecs.

 

·                    The Budhamba forebay dam has maximum height of 31.30 m extending over a length of 800m occupying two dykes on the left and is designed as a rolled fill earth dam. 20m waste weir have been provided at the forebay dam.

 

·                    The forebay has a pondage of 1.9 million cumec catering to a day’s requirement.

 

·                    The water conductor system comprises a head race tunnel 226.3 m log and a penstock 319m long. Bifurcating at the end of feed 2 units of 90 MW each.

 

·                    The Sarubera power house has installed capacity of 2 units 90 MW each and the tail race  is let into Kasnjor nala which joins Sankh finally.

 

·                    The Sarubera power house with an average net head of 180m is considered ideal for operating  as a peak load station with load  factor of about 15%.

 

·                    The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 526.70 crores.

 

·                    The annual energy generation of both power houses is 271.30 Gwh in a 90% dependable year.

 

·                    The project is scheduled to the completed in 7 years from start.

 

·                    The cost of generation is estimated to Rs. 2.54 per kwh.
