A Review of SHP Potential in Vidarbha

Charlie Fulzele

Abstract


Today the availability of fossil fuel is in un-rich condition; Hydro is the most emerging technology for survival and generation of electricity and hence need of renewable energy sources including SHP. There are many proven technologies to generate electricity such as thermal, nuclear wind and Solar etc. Small Hydro Power (SHP) is one of the resources available for hilly region with other parts of the country. Small Hydro Power plants are essential for today. India has approximately 15000 MW potential for huge number small hydel plants in diverse states. In this regard data is collected for Vidarbha in Maharashtra State which can be further used for power generation as fresh renewable resources i.e. it is newly identified potential sites. The equation for design discharge has been prepared by considering the rivers with width, depth and the flow of water.  Additionally analyses for cost calculations of several components of SHP are done.
