BHEL adds 736 MW Hydro Electric Capacity in the Country in 2014-15

25 May 2015 Evaluate

Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has brought a turnaround in the hydro power sector by commissioning 6 hydro sets aggregating to 736 MW, accounting for 100 per cent of the hydro power capacity addition in the country during fiscal 2014-15. Notably, this is also the highest hydro capacity addition in a single year by BHEL in the last decade. The feat was achieved by successfully commissioning projects of three major Central utilities - NTPC, NHPC and SJVNL.

The projects commissioned by BHEL include 2 units (200 MW each) of Koldam Hydro Electric Project (HEP), with which NTPC has made its maiden entry in the hydro sector. In addition, a 130 MW unit of NHPC's Parbati III HEP and 3 units of SJVNL's Rampur (68.67 MW each) were commissioned. Significantly, the two units of NTPC's 4x200 MW Koldam HEP were commissioned on consecutive days. The surface power house comprises 4 Francis turbines of 200 MW rating each, operating under a head of 131.2 metres.

BHEL has the distinction of executing all the four hydro projects being presently developed by NTPC. Apart from Koldam, the other three hydro projects of NTPC, being executed by BHEL, are Tapovan Vishnugad HEP (4x130 MW), Lata Tapovan HEP (3x57 MW) and Rammam Stage-III HEP (3x40 MW). With the commissioning of the fourth unit of the 4x130 MW Parbati III HEP of NHPC, the 520 MW project has now become fully operational.

BHEL has so far successfully commissioned around 400 Hydro generating sets of various rating in the country, with a cumulative capacity of more than 19,600 MW. BHEL is presently executing hydro power projects of around 4,600 MW, which are under various stages of implementation.
