HYDRO POWER IN INDIA


[attachment=18406]

TOTAL HYDRO POTENTIAL - 84,000 MW AT 60% LOAD FACTOR EQUIVALENT TO AN ANNUAL ENERGY GENERATION OF 450 TWH.

TOTAL DEVELOPED HYDRO POTENTIAL ABOUT 22,439 MW

SHARE OF HYDROPOWER REDUCED TO ONLY 25% IN TOTAL INSTALLED FOR POWER GENERATION FROM 50.62% IN 1963

ESTIMATED POTENTIAL OF SMALL HYDRO - 15,000 MW - SMALL HYDRO POWER INTRODUCED IN 1897


AGENCIES INVOLVED IN POWER DEVELPOMENT

CENTRAL ELECTRICITY AUTHORITY & CENTRAL WATER COMMISSION

STATE POWER DEPARTMENTS & ELECTRICITY BOARDS


MNES - MINISTRY OF NON-CONVENTIONAL ENERGY SOURCES

SEVERAL NGO ORGANIZATIONS (e.g. TERI)

INTERNATIONAL FUNDING AGENCIES – WORLD BANK, UNDP, GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITY, THE ASIA ALTERNATIVE ENERGY PROGRAM (ASTAE), ASIAN DEVELOPEMENT BANK,INDIAN RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (IREDA)


SMALL HYDRO POWER SYSTEMS


CLASSIFIED AS MINI, MICRO, AND SMALL DEPENDING ON CAPACITY OF PLANT.

MATURE TECHNOLOGY

HIGHEST PRIME MOVING EFFICIENCY

SPECTACULAR OPERATIONAL FLEXIBILITY

FIRST PLACE AMONG ALL RENEWABLE SOURCES

INSTALLED CAPACITY - WORLD 47,000 MW – INDIA 500 MW -CLASSIFICATION WORLD NORMS - 5 KW TO 50 MW
