Abstract |
|
Hydropower is among the most widely used type of renewable energy. Oppositions to big hydropower projects with reservoirs increased the use of small hydropower plants. Development of a small hydropower project is a challenging engineering task. Small hydropower plant has the capacity to produce about 100 KW of electricity. This paper deals with the feasibility of minor hydropower plant to be developed at Karai canal Sabarmati escape structure so that the water flowing at such escape structure can be useful to develop small scale electricity for the people of Karai. By obtaining proper head level and sufficient discharge, if the small hydro power plant can be developed then it could be useful to the Karai area population and nearby area also. |
