Nov 27, 2017-Production of hydroelectricity at both large and small plants has fallen sharply as water levels in the rivers have fallen with the start of the rainless season.
The Middle Marshyangdi Hydropower Station with an installed capacity of 70 MW has been putting out only 50 MW of electric power due to reduced flow in the Marshyangdi River.
During the rainy season when the river swells with water, the station produces up to 72 MW of electricity. The powerhouse contains two turbines with a capacity of 35 MW each, and currently only one is being used to produce electricity, project officials said.
Station Chief Pashupati Raj Gautam said they were running one turbine for 2-3 hours during the day and for 3-4 hours during the night. “We have been trying our best to run the power plant at full capacity by collecting the water flowing in the river,” Gautam said.
As per project officials, the water level in the Marshyangdi River has declined sharply very early in the dry season this year. From last month, the project has closed the gate completely to collect water and direct it to the powerhouse through the tunnel. “Last year, the water level had remained steady till this time of the year,” Gautam said.
According to him, the average electricity production at the project amounted to 27 MW last year. “With a notable drop in the water level, production has declined this year.” Electricity production at Upper Marshyangdi-A is also likely to shrink as the water level in the Marshyangdi River has dropped. Since last Friday, the 50 MW project has started diverting water through the tunnel.
Karna Adhikari, information officer at the project, said that electricity production at Upper Marshyangdi-A had not fallen. “If the water level drops further, electricity production at the project could be hit,” Adhikari said.
Apart from these large hydroelectricity projects, small plants that are mainly based on direct water supply from the rivers have been affected due to reduced flow.
The 5 MW Siuri Small Hydroelectricity Project, 4.4 MW Randhi Small Hydroelectricity Project, 4 MW Khudi Small Hydroelectricity Project, 3 MW Midimkhola (Karapu) Small Hydroelectricity Project, 2 MW Chhandikhola Small Hydroelectricity Project and 183 KW Syange Micro Hydroelectricity Project are reporting reduced production of electric power.
Recently, a total of 138.58 MW of electricity has been added to the national grid. Government statistics show that electricity supply drops by almost half during the dry season.

Gravity is a great way to store energy.
Water can be stored behind dams and then released, turning turbines, creating electrical energy.
A hydroelectric power station does just that.
Dams, however, are damaging to the environment because large areas have to be flooded. Dams can also silt up over time.
Tidal power is similar to hydroelectric power in that water is stored.
Underwater turbines generate power as the tide goes in and out.
Disadvantages of tidal power include:
But the power is free and produces no carbon waste.

The Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel project has reached a milestone with the launch of its first tunnel boring machine, "Oshin".
Speaking at the tunnel boring machine launching ceremony today (March 6), the Director of Drainage Services, Mr Lau Ka-keung, said the $3 billion project would raise the overall flood protection level of the drainage system on northern Hong Kong Island.
The 11 kilometre-long Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel extends from Tai Hang to Cyberport. Thirty-four intakes will be constructed in Wan Chai and Central and Western Districts to intercept and convey the run-off in mid-hill for discharge into the sea near Cyberport. This will alleviate the flooding problem in the areas downstream.
"The construction sites are situated within the hub of the city and close to residential and commercial districts. This presents great challenges with the construction works. To shorten the construction period with a view to reducing construction nuisance to the public, the contractor is required under the contract to deploy two tunnel boring machines to carry out the tunnel construction simultaneously," Mr Lau said.
The first tunnel boring machine to be used for construction of the west tunnel at Cyberport has a diameter of 8m and is 170m long. Its operation is highly automated. The launching of the second tunnel boring machine for the east tunnel at Tai Hang is expected to take place in mid-2009.
"The project is now hiring about 400 workers. It is expected that the project will provide about 1,000 job opportunities when construction activities reach their peak levels. The DSD will continue to push ahead with infrastructural and minor works projects to ease the pressure in the employment market."
The Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel project is part of a comprehensive drainage improvement programme to solve the flooding problem on northern Hong Kong Island. The intercepting drains along Queen’s Road Central were completed last June, and a stormwater pumping station at the waterfront in Sheung Wan will be completed by the end of this month, before the 2009 rainy season. These measures will alleviate the flood risk in the Sheung Wan low-lying area. Upon completion of the Hong Kong West Drainage Tunnel in 2012, flood protection on northern Hong Kong Island will be substantially improved.

According to Zambia’s Mines, Energy and Water Development Minister, Christopher Yaluma, Zambia is set to start construction of a 1600-MW power station in collaboration with Zimbabwe by January 2016.
The new power station will be located at Batoka and will be beneficial to both countries. The initial cost of the project was set at US $2.5bn and will involve construction of a dam.
The power project, involving construction of two hydroelectric power stations each with capability of producing 800 MW each, will be constructed 54 km downstream of Victoria falls.
The minister said the Batoka Hydro Electric Scheme would continue until 2021 or 2022, and feasibility studies are due this July.
Funding the Batoka Hydro Electric Scheme and rehabilitation of Kariba Dam were approved in the ZRA 2015 budget.
“We should start rehabilitating the Dam in the next four to five months.
We are very much on track as this is a key project and we will ensure delivery,” he said.


WESTERN province miner Ok Tedi Mining Ltd (OTML) is set to upgrade the water and sewage system in Kiunga at more than K35 million under the tax credit programme.
The project, expected to start this month will include the upgrading of the town’s water supply system and the construction of a new sewerage treatment facility.
OTML manager for regional engineering department John Iru, said the current water and sewerage systems could cater for the town’s rapidly increasing population and there was an urgent need to upgrade the facilities.
OTML said in a statement over the last few years there had been a surge in Kiunga’s population, which had seen the number rising from around 9,000 to over 12,000 people.
This has placed a major strain on the town’s water and sewerage systems, which OTML operates as a free service to the town’s residents, which also included almost 140 OTML employees.
Mr Iru said the upgrading of the water supply system would also include the construction of two new one-mega litre water storage tanks, the rehabilitation of all the boreholes, construction of a new borehole and new raw water and reticulation system.
“The work on the new sewerage system will involve the construction of a new pump station and new sewer main, which will run from the pump station to the new sewerage treatment ponds at the back of the Kiunga Secondary School,” Mr Iru said.
The project has been awarded to C&M Engineers and is expected to be completed by this year end.


Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia have signed an agreement in relation to construction of Grand Renaissance dam, with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi saying the project will not affect Egypt as feared before. The new signing is expected to be an assurance to Egypt and Sudan that the dam project will be undertaken carefully while putting their interests at heart.
The new signed accord will however see Ethiopia undertake construction of the dam without harming Egypt and Sudan. Egypt has been heavily reliant on River Nile for agriculture and has previously protested construction of the dam fearing that the project would reduce volume of water downstream.
The project would entail diversion of the Nile to source water for electricity production in Ethiopia. The 6,000 MW Grand Renaissance dam, which is expected to be completed in 2017, will be Africa’s largest dam. Phase 1 of the dam project was, however, expected to come online this year to see production of 700MW. The project will take a spend of US$5bn.
The leaders watched a film on how the project could benefit their countries. “I confirm the construction of the Grand Ethiopia Renaissance Dam will not cause any damage to our three states and especially to the Egyptian people,” said Hailemariam Desalegn, the Ethiopian prime minister, at the signing ceremony held in Khartoum, Sudan, also attended by Sudan President Omar al-Bashir.
“We have chosen cooperation, and to trust one another for the sake of development.” Said Al Sisi, adding that it will not harm interests of Egypt and Sudan. Ethiopia also said the river would be diverted but will later follow its course.
Al-Bashir, who was also present at the signing ceremony, said the deal was historic. The Grand Ethiopia Renaissance dam will be 170 meter tall and will help reduce alluvium in Sudan and manage flooding at 19,370 cubic metres per second. 16 units each with a generating capacity of 375MW will be installed and two 3,750MW and 2,250MW outdoor power stations constructed.
The project will also establish a bridge across the Blue Nile and provide water for irrigating 500,000ha of new agricultural lands. The project is being undertaken by Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCO).
Ethiopia is planning a spend of US$ 20bn for power generation projects between 2015-2020 as part of the Phase II of the Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP). This is according to last year’s (November) announcement in the Powering Africa: Ethiopia event.
Apart from the Grand Ethiopia Renaissance Dam, the country has invested in expansion of Ashegoda Wind Farm to add 40MW into the grid, a project expected to end in 2015. On December, Ethiopia leashed out a US$1bn sovereign bond to help finance construction and energy projects.
Other projects such as Adama II wind power generating farm, Gilgel Gibe III Hydroelectric dam, which is expected to go online this year according to earlier reports this April. A Chinese firm will also undertake construction of a US$700m Gebba River Dam. Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya have also set out plans to construct a dam on River Dawa in Mandera County, Kenya.
Implementation of the hydraulic and environmental studies relating to the Grand Ethiopia Renaissance Dam project will now be supervised by oversees firms.


Accumulator safety shut-off valve is a new type of hydraulic components used in accumulators. It can be installed as a stop valve between the accumulator and the pipeline connected to the system, and has the functions of protecting the accumulator, such as pressure limiting protection, oil discharge and pressure relief. The valve body is provided with a pressure measuring oil port, which can detect the working pressure of the accumulator. This valve integrates functions of overflow, cut-off, unloading, etc., small size, light weight, simple and compact structure, easy operation and disassembly. Can greatly improve the service life and safety and reliability of the accumulator.
Advantages of accumulator safety shut-off valve:
1.Simple structure, easy to manufacture and maintain;
2. Small working stroke and short opening and closing time;
3. Good sealing performance, small friction between sealing surfaces and long life;
4. The structural form of the shut-off valve body includes straight-through type, direct-flow type and right-angle type. Straight-through type is a common structure, but its fluid resistance is large; DC-type fluid resistance is small, and it is mostly used for solid particles or high viscosity fluid . Right-angle valve bodies are mostly forged and are suitable for globe valves with smaller passage and higher pressure.

New Delhi, Mar 25 (UNI) Maharashtra today challenged the maintainability of the suit filed by Andhra Pradesh in the Supreme Court against the construction of a barrage at Sri Ram Sagar Dam.
The two states are involved in a water dispute relating to their share in Godavari river which flows from Sahyadris and flows through Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
Counsel for Maharashtra pleaded before a bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, Justices Altamas Kabir and R V Raveendran that the construction of barrage at Sri Ram sagar Dam project is not illegal and does not violate the inter-state agreement dated October 6, 1975 between the two states.
The storage area of Godavari River is 1256 km long out of which 71 km is in Andhra Pradesh while remaining 55 km is in Maharashtra. Maharashtra is constructing barrage at Babhali, which has 13 gates .
According to Maharashtra, construction of the barrage will not have any adverse impact on Andhra Pradesh as the flow of river will not be obstructed. The contention of Andhra Pradesh however, is that the construction of the barrage will block the flow of river water from barrage storage area to reservoir storage area.
As a result, the water will flow back to barrage storage area and therefore, adversely affect the interest of Andhra Pradesh.
The arguements remain inconclusive and will continue tomorrow.
Maharashtra is however, saying that it will take around two years to complete the construction of barrage and unless all the 13 gates are closed, flow of river water cannot be obstructed.
The Supreme Court has already directed that Maharashtra can go ahead with the construction of the dam but will not close the 13 gates until further orders. According to Maharashtra, only the flow of 0.68 tmc ft of water out of 112 tmc ft will be affected and it is negligible.

Angat Dam still below minimum operating level
MANILA, Philippines — The water level in Angat Dam, which supplies 90 percent of Metro Manila’s water requirements, has remained below its minimum operating level, the National Water Resources Board (NWRB) said on Tuesday.
“Currently, the water level in Angat Dam is at 177.93 meters,” Sevillo David Jr. executive director of the NWRB, said during the Laging Handa briefing.
The dam is 2.07 meters below its minimum operating level at 180 meters. Sevilla said the rains brought by the recent tropical storms in the country were not enough to raise the water level in the dam.
“If we compare it to the previous years, the water level is still low because we want it not to be lower than the minimum operating level of 180 meters,” he said.
According to him, the target water level for Angat Dam to ensure enough water supply for next year is at 212 meters.

The Use and Features of Ball Check Valve
Check valve is also known as counter valve, back pressure valve. This type of valve is automatically opened and closed by the force generated from the flow of the medium in the pipeline. It is a type of automatic valve. When sanitary check valve is used in pipeline system, its main role is to prevent media backflow and reversal of pump and its driving motor and media discharge. Check valve can also be used in pipelines that supply the auxiliary system where the pressure may rise to the level above the pressure of the main system.
Ball check valves all use rubber ball as valve flap. The mechanism is that under the influence of the medium, rubber balls can roll back and forth on the slide in the valve body to open or close the valve. Single ball micro-resistance ball check valve HQ44X and double ball micro-resistance ball check valve HQ45X are characterized by large flow, small flow resistance loss, good sealing performance, muffled closing, the ability to reduce water shock. They can be horizontally or vertically installed. Micro-resistance ball check valve can be used at the pump outlet of pipe networks such as cold water, hot water, industrial and domestic sewage to prevent media backflow. And in order to prevent media backflow, check valves should be installed on equipment, devices and pipelines.


Swing Check Valve
Swing check valve belongs to the automatic valve type, mainly used in the flow of the medium with unidirectional flow. It only allows the media to flow in one direction to prevent accidents.Chat Now
Swing check valve belongs to the automatic valve type, mainly used in the flow of the medium with unidirectional flow. It only allows the media to flow in one direction to prevent accidents. When installing, please pay close attention to the direction of the media flow in line with the direction of the arrow in its body.
"Swing check valve" internal baffle is connected with this link through a hinge structure, which is free as a door on the tilted seat surface. In order to ensure that baffle can reach the seat to the appropriate location every time. it makes the baffle has enough open and closed space, and makes the baffle to be real and comprehensive engagement with the seat through the hinge structure design,.
The baffle can be made entirely of metal, or it can be inlaid with sealing material on the metal, depending on the performance requirement.
When it is fully open, the fluid pressure is almost unimpeded, so the pressure to drop through the valve is relatively small.
It is suitable for large caliber occasions with low flow velocity and low flow, but it is not suitable for pulsating flow. Its sealing performance is less than the lift check valve.

Numerical Simulation Of Reservoir Fluctuation Effects On The Nonlinear Dynamic Response Of Concrete Arch Dams
Free (open access)
427 - 438
M. A. Hariri Ardebili & H. Mirzabozorg
Fluid-structure interaction problems occur in many engineering structures, such as dams, gates, offshore structures, storage tanks, piping systems, etc. Analysis of such interaction problems is important for the safe and economic design of future structures and the safety and performance evaluation of present ones. In the present study, reservoir fluctuation effects on the nonlinear dynamic response of concrete arch dams are investigated. The structure nonlinearity is originated from material nonlinearity due to tensile cracking and compression crushing of mass concrete using the William-Warnke failure surface in principal stress state (Smeared Crack Model). The reservoir is assumed to be compressible and foundation rock is modeled as a mass-less medium. The DEZ concrete arch dam in Iran, with a height of 203m, is selected as the case study. The system is executed using records based on the response spectrum of the dam site. It is found that fluid-structure interaction has significant structural effects on the system such that, when the reservoir level is increased, almost all structural responses of the dam body, such as crest displacement, velocity and acceleration, decrease until a special level and growth is significantly made for reservoir maximum level in the linear model. In addition, principal stresses on upstream and downstream faces increase significantly with reservoir dewatering. On the other hand, responses of the dam in the nonlinear model have special intricacies, but the extension of cracked areas in both upstream and downstream faces develop meaningfully by decreasing the reservoir water level and there is good argument between stress results in the linear and nonlinear models. Keywords: concrete arch dam, fluid-structure interaction, reservoir fluctuation effect, smeared crack model.

Plummer assisted the Trinity River Authority in replacing ten existing sand media traveling bridge filters with ten diamond cloth media filters manufactured by Aqua-Aerobics, Inc. The major advantages of cloth-media filters in comparison to traveling bridge filters are:
- Significantly shorter backwash times that allow for higher solids loading capacity.
- Greater filter surface area that allows for increased flow through the same footprint.
- A reduced amount of total backwash water is used even though instantaneous rates may be higher.
The diamond units are designed to increase the peak flow capacity of each filter by 2.4 times while maintaining comparable solids removal rates at design flow and providing higher solids removal during high solids loading events.

After the expansion project is completed, with a capacity of 400 MW, the Tri An hydropower plant will become the second-largest-of-its-kind in Vietnam, after the Hoa Binh hydropower plant. The Dong Nai-based plant is currently ranked sixth in the country.


What Are The Main Reasons for The Failure of The Float Valve?
Low-pressure float valve is a low-pressure liquid level to control the amount of liquid into the control valve, but also automatically adjust the evaporative flow throttle, which is combined with the following evaporative coil into a throttle and evaporator combination, float ball valve移动暴龙捕鱼 and valve needle by the lever, hinge connected into the liquid control valve. When the liquid level drops, the float drops with the liquid level, the valve needle is opened, the liquid volume increases.
When the liquid level rises, the float rises with the liquid level, and the small valve is closed, the liquid level is reduced. When the liquid level rises to the control height, the valve needle closes the valve and stops the liquid. So the float ball valve is the change of the liquid level as the power to adjust the flow.
In summary, the main reason for the failure of the float valve is frequent fluctuations in the liquid level inside the container, it caused the float valve opening and closing frequent, spool and seat is easy to wear and cause failure.

Lowest Pressure Drop
US Valve's Elastomer Hinge Design = Lowest Pressure Drop
Our Full Port Check Valves provide more flow and lower pressure drops than conventional check valves. Our elastomer hinge check valve design takes performance to an entirely new level by eliminating the restrictive valve seat and substantially increasing the valve’s open area and flow coefficient (Cv). The resulting flow is more laminar, with lower pressure loss and reduced turbulence. It also improves valve life and reliability. Keeping pressure loss low is always important, but particularly so when handling low pressure air and gases.
Dual disc check valves are the clear choice for many piping engineers because of their proven reliability, ease of installation and low ∆P. Now, they are available in a full port design that dramatically improves performance. They are ideal for application in vacuum pumps, compressed air and gas systems as well as in water systems where low head loss and elimination of water hammer are desirable.

TasWater has signed on a contractor for the construction of the $8.3 million King Island water treatment plant in Tasmania.
Laurie Curran Water will construct the new plant as part of the King Island Water Infrastructure program.
The plant will supply high-quality drinking water to residents of Currie and Grassy through a new 26km pipeline which is under construction between the two townships.
TasWater Project Manager, Randal Muth, said the contract will include both design of the system which will begin straight away and the construction due to get underway at the start of 2018.
“This contract will see the construction of significant infrastructure on the island to supply the two main townships with safe drinking water straight to the tap,” Mr Muth said.
“The project will include new raw water intake structure and pump station from the Upper Grassy Dam to feed the new water treatment plant. We will also be building a new clear water storage tank near Gentle Annie Reserve along with another tank, three times larger, to be built in Currie.”
The new treatment plant, located at the same site of the existing Grassy plant, will incorporate dissolved air flotation, nano-filtration and carbon filtration, as well as disinfection.
“When it’s finished, the operational plant will produce one million litres of safe, treated drinking water per day. That is more than enough water to fill two Olympic swimming pools every week,” Mr Muth said.
TasWater CEO, Mike Brewster, said the project will provide a boost to the local community for both tourism and local businesses, and help cater for expected growth on the island.
“The Grassy to Currie pipeline contractor MSD have made great progress in recent months bringing on board local workers. TasWater is pleased the new contract with Laurie Curran Water is now signed so the next stage of this extensive water supply infrastructure project can continue,” Mr Brewster said.
The King Island Water Infrastructure Project will be completed near the end of 2018.

The Associated Press announced today that China's Three Gorges Dam reached maximum capacity. See full story here.
BEIJING – Water rose to the maximum level at China's Three Gorges Dam on Tuesday, driving electricity output to full capacity at the world's largest hydropower plant for the first time since it began operating two years ago, its operator said.Power generation is expected to reach 84.7 billion kilowatt hours.
That marks the culmination of the mammoth $23 billion project on the upper reaches of China's longest river, the Yangtze, touted by the government as the best way to end centuries of floods along the river basin and to provide energy to fuel the country's economic boom.
But the project has had major environmental impacts and its construction displaced more than 1.4 million people. Some geologists also warn that raising the water level of the vast reservoir carries a heightened risk of landslides, earthquakes and prolonged damage to the river's ecology.
Construction of the 410-mile (660-kilometer) -long reservoir began in 1993 and it began storing water in 2003, but the dam was only finished in 2006.


Dar es Salaam. The development of the Stigler’s Gorge power generation project will start in July this year, raising hopes that electricity challenges in the country will soon become a thing of the past.
