FINANCIAL MODELLING OF SMALL HYDRO PROJECT (3X750 KW)
& MAKING ITS INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
Gourav Soni MBA Power Management NPTI Faridabad gourav_uk2125@yahoo.co.in ABSTRACT output at generator terminals. The project has been conceived as a run of the river project with India is booming. It is predicted that diurnal storage. The turbines shall operate under soon India will be one of the largest a net head varying between 3.64 m to 4.53 m. economies in the near future. With the fruits of The generation voltage shall be at 3.3 KV which liberalization slowly trickling down, a need shall be stepped upto 11 KV through a common has been felt for infrastructure, specifically step-up transformers of 3000 KVA capacity. power sector. With the enactment of There is an existing 11 KV line upto the Electricity Act 2003 and major thrust into barrage site which shall be used to evacuate the power sector by Government of India, power generated. The likely energy to be generation, transmission and distribution produced in a 90% dependable year is 8.099x106 will witness radical changes in the years to kWh. With 95% availability the design energy is come. Power is the lifeline of modern societies. 7.6 x 106 kWh, and net energy available for sale It is base for the development of any i.e. 7.524 x 10⁶ kWh. On average, the annual economy in the world. There is a large energy expected to be produced from the demand-supply gap in the country. To reduce proposed project is 10.27 x 106 kWh. With 95% this demand and supply gap there is a need to availability, the likely average annual energy is increase our installed capacity. This 9.76x106 kWh. It has been agreed that during the requires huge money for implementation of first fifteen years of operation of the power various projects and thus the need for station, the power producer shall provide free IPP's, which was further, strengthened by power to the extent of 25 KVA for the power Electricity Act 2003. In order to encourage requirements of the Irrigation Department in power generation in the private sector the their colony and works and 7.5% of the energy Government of India has liberalized its produced thereafter. After accounting for the free policies. The private sector has risen to this power, the net energy available for sale in 90% challenge by showing a very positive attitude. dependable year is 7.35 x 106 kWh (PF of .79) The SHP has been proposed to be developed for during the first fifteen years and 6.96 x 106 augmenting the power generation especially kwhrs thereafter. Similarly, on average the net using renewable energy source and for helping in energy available for sale is expected to be 9.48 x rural electrification of the Country. After Small 106 kWh during the first fifteen years and 8.93 x Hydroelectric Project, the electrical energy 106 kWh thereafter. The cost of generation in the produced shall be utilized for augmenting the first year of operation is estimated at Rs. 3.76 per energy supply in the local rural distribution kWh and on levellised cost basis over a 30-year network and shall provide electricity to un- period works out to Rs. 3.11 per kWh.
