 FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not part of the Model DPR)

The Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources, Government of India (MNES) have

identified over 24,000 remote villages which are proposed to be electrified through small
renewable energy sources e.g. Small Hydro Power, Biomass Gasification and Solar
Photovoltaic Technology, so as to improve the well being of population living in the far flung
isolated areas.

To make the Remote Village Electrification (RVE) programme successful, it is necessary that
the planning, design, execution and operation and maintenance of RVE projects is efficient
and reliable and also economical in the long run. MNES, vide letters number 13/5/2005 – 06
RVE dated 23.12.2005 and even number dated 09.03.2006 has asked the alternate Hydro
Energy Centre, IIT, Roorkee (AHEC) to prepare model detailed project reports (DPRs) for the
following four categories:

1. Category “A – 1” Village with 40 households in the hilly area.

2. Category “A – 2” Village with 40 households in the plain area.
3. Category “B – 1” Village with 200 households in the hilly area.
4. Category “B – 2” Village with 200 households in the plain area.

The villages are to be selected from the States of Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh to make
the DPRs more versatile and practical so that these model DPRs can be used with slight site
specific changes by even those users who may not have much technical expertise.

This Document has been prepared for RVE through Hydro Electric Power Plant for the
Category “A-1” village: Tally Valley (Patu) (Circle-zero, District – Lower Subansiri, State –
Arunachal Pradesh) and also to serve as a Model Document recommended for use as a guide
for RVE of similar category villages (including those ones having some variation in number
of house holds) with plant and site specific modification. Any suggestions from institutions,
organizations, users and interested individuals are welcome. Suggestions should be addressed
to:

 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

With the rapid changing scenario of fast depleting conventional energy sources, the future of
conventional electric power system is getting uncertain. This has led to worldwide thrust on
development and use of non-conventional energy sources for electric power generation and
use. This coupled with almost no chances of extending the electric power grids to the remote
hilly villages and particularly these located in the deep in the forest due to problems
associated with drawing power lines though it and their O&M, use of non–conventional
energy sources remains the only alternative for providing reliable electricity to such remote
villages.

Patu (Distt. Lower Subansiri, Arunachal Pradesh) is a human settlement set deep in the forest
having thickly vegetated mixed forest.

Most of the village people have low income. Micro hydro based electric power plant
proposed for this village will be helpful for

i. Improving the living conditions of the village people.

ii. Generating new opportunities for over all upliftment
iii. Providing light for study and promote education amongst children promising them
better future.
iv. Creating awareness about the renewable sources of energy and using them for enter
premiership like micro cottage industries etc. thereby improving economic conditions.
v. Saving kerosene and forest wood presently being used for lighting.
vi. Creating environmental awareness amongst the people and help control available
destruction of the forest.

The project is envisaged to be constructed in a period of 12 months from the date of singing
the contract agreement. The proposed period takes core of the adverse conditions of monsoon
season, transport problems and afford required time for better construction management and
quality of works etc.

AHEC/MNES/C-347/AAS/Model DPR/MHP i
The economic condition of most of the villagers being low, one time contribution of Rs. 1000
per house hold has been proposed towards initial construction of the plant (which, through,
insignificant, will create a sense of belongingness thereby help make the scheme successful
and send good message to other to follow suit) and a monthly payment of Rs. 60/- per month
towards O&M (which they will be able to pay as they will have a monthly saving on cost of
Kerosene). The balance cost of the O&M will have to be managed by the nodal agency.
Source of funding for construction of plant and the system is proposed to be as:

i. Incentive subsidy by MNES Rs. 11.61 Lacs

ii. Balance Project Cost Rs. 37.89 Lacs
iii. Total Cost of the Project Rs. 49.50 Lacs

The cost of generation works out to Rs 10.97 per kWh and Rs. 16.45 per kWh without
subsidy and Rs. 9.10 per kWh and Rs. 13.64 per kWh with subsidy at 90% and 60% load
factor respectively

BACK GROUND AND BASIC DATA

1.1 INTRODUCTION

There is acute shortage of electric power generation in the country so much so that the
areas already connected to the power grids are subjected to frequent power cuts. The
available fuel resources being used for electricity generation are getting fast depleted.
This problem and sensitivity coupled with drawing the electric power lines through
deep forest, the cost involved in extending the power grids and cost and problems in
O & M of the line of isolated remote villages make it almost impossible to make grid
the electricity reach the remote villages.

The economic and social conditions of the inhabitants of un-electrified remote

villages in the Arunachal Pradesh State are poor. Electricity being one of the basic
infrastructural requirements for development and progress, the only hope in the above
scenario is the use of renewable energy sources to generate and supply electricity to
the remote villages. In an effort towards this end, this project has been conceived for
immediate electrification of village Talley Valley (Patu) in the Lower Subansiri
district of Arunachal Pradesh. Talley Valley falls within the famous Birds Sanctuary
located at higher elevation of Arunachal Pradesh Pradesh.

1.2 PROJECT SPONSOR

MNES, vide Letters number 13/5/2005 -06 RVE dated 23.12.2005 and even number
dated 09.03.2006 has asked the alternate Hydro energy Centre, IIT, Roorkee (AHEC)
to prepare model detailed project reports (DPRs) for the following four categories:

1. Category “A-1” village with 40 households in the hilly area.

2. Category “A-2” village with 40 households in the plain area.
3. Category “B-1” village with 200 households in the hilly area.
4. Category “B-2” village with 200 households in the plain area.

The villages are to be selected from the States of Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand
to make DPRs more versatile and practical so that these model DPRs can be used with

AHEC/MNES/C-347/AAS/Model DPR/MHP 1
 slight site specific changes by even those users who may not have much technical
expertise.
MNES, GOI, is subsidizing the cost of RVE projects to large extent. The balance
project cost is generally met by the Nodal Agency and the people of the villages.

1.3 NODAL AGENCY & ASSOCIATED ORGANIZATIONS

Arunachal Renewable Energy Development Agency, Itanagar (APEDA) has been

assigned to carry out development work through non-conventional sources by the
Government of Arunachal Pradesh. For the present DPR works APEDA has been
nominated as Nodal Agency by MNES.

In identification and selection of the village to be electrified the cooperation was

sought from department of APEDA.

1.4 SELECTION OF VILLAGE FOR MODEL DPR

Reconnaissance survey was undertaken to various remote villages located in the

Lower Subansri District for selection of village(s) as per suggestion by APEDA. After
gathering information and data, interacting with the local people and the village level
organizations e.g Gram Panchayat, survey and assessment of various aspects related
to the generation of power through MHP and electrification of remote village, Talley
Valley was selected for preparation of Model Detailed Project Report.

Here it is intended to electrify the remote village of Talley Valley (Patu) located deep
within the forest. The villagers are subjected to isolated life, having limited resources
and access. Their income is also restricted to marginal cultivation, occasional labour
and through seasonal tourism trade. Due to complete absence of sources of
entertainment, people have adopted to drinking habits (local wine) which has further
detoriated their economic status.

To uplift the life of this village dominated by, backward community, it is essential to
provide electricity so as their living standard can be raised and they can augment their
income through tourist industry which is likely to grow rapidly after availability of
power in the area.

AHEC/MNES/C-347/AAS/Model DPR/MHP 2
 It is difficult to link the village through State/National grid as it will be next to
impossible to draw the HT line through the forest area. Therefore it has become
imperative to provide the power to this remote village through a non conventional
source of energy. Due to availability of a stream in the surroundings of the village, the
electrification through micro hydroelectric power has been selected for the village.

1.5 GENERAL INFORMATION – VILLAGE TALLEY VALLEY

1.5.1 Location And Access

Talley Valley village in the Lower Subansri District of Arunachal Pradesh is a human
settlement set deep in broad valley within thickly vegetated mixed forest. It is linked
with Zero Town through highway up to Monipoliyang (8km) and from their through
all weather umetalled nonmotorable forest road (8km).

The nearest Railway Station North is situated at about 170 km from the village. From
Zero Town Jeep can be hired upto monipoliyang which is the only source of
communication in the area. The nearest block office is at a distance of 20 km. The
nearest 11 kV substation is around 11 km from the village.

1.5.2 Socio Economic Status

Talley Valley village is dominated by backward community having 16 households

with a population of 29. Each family consists of 2 to 3 members. These villagers are
having a second house also at lower altitude.

Most of the villagers are laborers having limited resources. Main crops of the area are
paddy and millet.

Nearly all the inhabitants are engaged in the casual labour and to cultivation on a
minor scale. People also have second place to live to which they move in the winters.
With the provision of power in the area it is expected that the in the area tourism will
get a boost and people will stay in the village only. Wood is used for cooking and
warming proposes. The forest department is the sole employee in the area. In general
the income of a family varies between Rs.1500.00 to Rs 2000.00 pm.

1.5.3 Additional Sources Of Income

To augment their income most of the families keep poneys. Nearly a family keeps 3 to 4 poneys.

3.7.2 Suitability of Water

Being a Hydro Project the quality of water is not so important. However, since the
water of Patu Nala is spring water, it dose not contains organic compounds in it.
Whereas during rainy season a fair amount of suspended material is observed which is
found to settle down rapidly. No corrosion is expected in the penstock or turbine due
to quality of water after removal of silt particles up to 0.25mm size and above.

3.8 CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL SOURCES

Cement, reinforcement steel, structural steel, C.G.I. sheets and trusses for roof, doors
and windows of powerhouse can be purchased from Itanagar or North
Lakhimpur/Guwahati. Sand, Grit, Stone and stone ballast are available in the stream.

Adequate manpower will be arranged for collection of sand, stone, stone ballast from
the nearby area and buffer stock will be maintained at suitable level near the
construction location of the various project components. The material stock site will
be so selected that the site is well above and away from the estimated and observed
high flood level of the river. The site should also be safe from natural drains, safe
from scouring/flushing due to rains. Adequate buffer stock of cement and steel will be
maintained in the site store to safe guard the supply against blockage of roads due to
rains etc. The supply of cement and steel will be staggered as per bar chart.

TECHNO-ECONOMIC STUDIES
4.1 PRESENT DEVELOPMENT AND EXISTING POWER FACILITIES

The area is deprived of all modern development and is amongst most backward area.
There is no existing power facility as electricity is not available near the proposed
scheme. Presently firewood and kerosene is used for cooking and lighting while
traditional watermills are used for grains grinding. The area has fertile terraced fields
but with little irrigation facilities. The agricultural production is low. Each village in
Arunachal Pradesh has a stream near by, which feed them for centuries. These
streams are perennial, clean and silt free and almost flood free due to strong
vegetation in catchment area. Arunachal Pradesh is bestowed with hydro energy
abundantly by nature and is a boon for the people. Harnessing of hydro energy will
uplift the life of the remote villages.
4.2 FLOW DURATION
Based on the discharge data for the period of Jan. 2003 to Dec. 2005 of Patu stream,
which is perennial tributary of Pangih River, the flow duration analysis has been
carried out.
100% = 0.116 cumecs
75% = 0.133 cumecs
50% = 0.150 cumecs
The water available for power generation with percentage of time equaled or
exceeded is shown in Table –1.

CIVIL WORKS

5.1 GENERAL

Simple and cost effective type of civil works has been planned for the scheme. The
location of the scheme is shown in Drg. No. C-343-1. General layout of works of the
scheme is shown in Drg. 343-2. The L-Section of water conductor system is shown in
Drg. No. C -343-3.

5.2 DIVERSION WEIR AND INTAKE

A diversion structure is required across the nallah for diverting its water for power
generation. The nallah bed consists of pebbles, gravels and boulders. The site is also
remotely located. Keeping in view the availability of boulders etc. in abundance
locally, the Bush & Boulder type weir is proposed to be provided to divert the water
from nallah to intake channel. Such weirs are also suited for mountainous streams as
they do not much interfere with the regime of the stream. It is proposed that the weir
shall be constructed in full width of stream to avoid any restriction to flow that could
cause an afflux. The design features of weir are as follows.

i. A Bush & boulder type weir (with height from river bed as 800 mm & apron length
4000 mm) is provided across the stream for a width of 5.00 m. The top level of the
weir is kept at EL 1883.92 m. This shall ensure that the stream regime is not changed.
This will be a overflow weir.
ii. The intake structure shall be provided on right side of the stream. This shall ensure
passage of water (0.140 cumecs) to the intake channel (200m long).
iii. The weir has been designed for a design flood of 3.95 m3/sec with constant c = 1.7,
length of weir = 5.0 m and head over crest 0.60 m.
iv. A vertical trash rack consisting of 12 mm x 50 mm mild steel flats at 30 mm clear
spacing in full depth of intake channel is provided so that the entry of stones,
boulders etc. into the weir is checked. The clogging of the trash rack is not envisaged
for more than 50-60 percent.

AHEC/MNES/C-347/AAS/Model DPR/MHP 13
5.3 FEEDER CUM POWER CHANNEL

The water fed from diversion weir is lead to desilting tank through a rectangular
stone masonry channel (bed width 0.60 m x depth 0.30 mm) with free board of 0.15
m. The channel will be lined by 13 mm thick plastering of cement mortar.

The channel is designed on the following criteria:

i. To keep incoming upto 25 mm sediment moving in the supply channel upto desilting
tank, (at RD 200 m) the slope of channel is provided as 1 in 400.
ii. Design discharge of the intake channel is 0.140 m3/s.

5.4 DESILTING CUM FOREBAY TANK

As per site condition & requirement desilting tank and forebay is constructed
combinally here desilting tank and forebay detail is given separately.

Desilting tank Patu Nallah carries not much appreciable quantities of coarse silt
during rainy season. However for precaution and safe operation a desilting chamber is
considered necessary to minimize the abrasion effect on the turbine runners.
Consequently a desilting chamber has been proposed in order to remove sediment
particles above 0.25 mm size. The design has been made according to CBIP
publication No. 175, entitled “Small Hydro Stations - Standardisation”. The design
was also checked through computer programme. Wherever required the tank may be
covered by a slab on which proper earth cover be provided to provide insulating layer
for avoiding any chances of water freezing etc. The design features of desilting tank
are as follows.

i. The discharge outgoing from desilting tank for power generation is 0.119 cumec. To
provide for continuous flushing of silt during monsoon periods, a provision of 15%
of design discharge has been provided.
ii. Particles coarser than 0.25 mm size have been proposed to be trapped in the tank,
keeping in view the turbine type proposed.
iii. The flow velocity has been taken 0.22 m/s. The size of tank is fixed as 4.0 m x 1.8m
x 0.40 m (depth).
iv. A longitudinal slope of 1:4.45 is provided in the bed of the tank accompanied with
suitable transverse slope for smooth travel of settled sediment towards depressions.

AHEC/MNES/C-347/AAS/Model DPR/MHP 14
v. Suitable channel transitions of 1.8 m length in upstream are provided.
vi. One valve has been provided at outlet for silt flushing from the desilting tank. The
silt-ridden water is discharged back into the nallah.
vii. Suitable protection works are proposed at the junction of channel to the river for
disposing the silt ridden water.
viii. Free board in desilting tank is 0.30 m is provided.
5.5 FOREBAY
The forebay, penstock and powerhouse are treated as an integrated unit so far as their
location is concerned. The desilting forebay has been located on a rather flat area
followed by the penstock provided along moderately sloping hill side leading to the
power house on a flat terrace. The geology and terrain is favourable. The layout will
not involve any significant excavation for the forebay. The forebay is provided to
ensure supply of immediate water demand on starting the generating units. The
design features of forebay tank are as follows.

i. Storage time has been kept 2 minutes as per guide lines issued by Central Electricity
Authority-1982. Thus a storage capacity of 15.03 m3 (12.15+2.88 the capacity of
desilting tank) has been provided for a design discharge of 0.119 m3/s. Accordingly,
the size of tank is kept as 4.5 m x 1.80 m x 1.50 m. Suitable provisions are made for
free board allowance of 0.30 m, silt storage allowance of 0.20 m and allowance for
water head of 0.10 m required above spillway for passing the discharge.
ii. A minimum water cover of 1660 mm is provided over the crown of penstock intake
from the full supply level in the forebay tank to prevent any possible air entry into the
penstock.
iii. A locally depressed pocket of 1.80 m x 1.80 m x 2.28 m (depth) is provided at the
penstock intake in the forebay to reduce the structure height/its cost.
iv. A storage of 0.20 m (depth) is provided below the penstock invert for possible silt
deposition which would be removed manually once a while, through a silt flushing
pipe.
v. A mild slope for the silt movement is provided in the floor towards the silt flushing outlet.
vi. The penstock intake is provided with bell mouthing to have smooth entry of water to
reduce the entry losses.
vii. A mild steel trash rack with racks at 30 mm clear spacing is provided at penstock
intake to check the entry of trash into penstock.

AHEC/MNES/C-347/AAS/Model DPR/MHP 15
5.6 PENSTOCK

Water from forebay is being taken to the powerhouse to run hydraulic turbine through
pressurized penstock pipe running from forebay tank. The penstock pipe of mild steel
is proposed to be erected as penstock made of other material such as R.C.C., are not
economical for such sizes & site conditions in comparison to steel pipes. Various
criterion adopted for penstock design are as follows

i. A steel penstock of 0.292 mm outer dia is proposed from economical point of view.
The penstock thickness is kept as 6.0 mm.
ii. The optimum diameter is determined by minimizing the sum of annual loss of
generation due to friction and annual working cost including interest on capital loan,
depreciation, O&M charges. This diameter will develop maximum velocity in the
penstock.
iii. The design head for the penstock pipe is about 18 m plus 50% for water hammer
pressure.
iv. The penstock is proposed to be partially buried in the ground for about 1.0 m with
earth / muck cover over it.
v. The penstock intake is provided with bell mouthing to have smooth entry of water.
vi. A gate valve of 280 NB is proposed near the penstock intake to control the flow in
penstock.
vii. A trash rack before the bell mouthing is provided for preventing entry of trash in the
penstock.
viii. An air vent tube of 50 mm dia is provided just downstream of penstock intake to
release the air if entered into penstock.
5.7 SPILLWAY AND SPILLWAY CHANNEL
To allow the water to escape from forebay tank in case of emergency shut down of
the machines, spillway is provided in the upstream of forebay tank to divert the water
into the nallah through a channel. The area has exposed rocks and energy dissipation
would be easily done. The design details of spillway are as follows.
i. The spillway is designed for the flow of 0.119 cumecs discharge i.e. discharge
coming from the power channel.

ii. The length of spillway is kept as 2.0 m. The depth of water (head over spill way crest)
required to pass the discharge is determined as 0.10 m.

a. Parameters of Cross Flow Turbine

Diameter of runner = 212 mm

Width of runner = 110 mm
Speed = 750 rpm
Specific speed = 96 rpm

The speed of turbines have been selected 750 rpm because a 750 rpm generator
coupled with turbine will have 8 poles resulting more uniform distribution of
magnetic flux and hence less distortion of sinusoidal wave form. Further the vibration,
wear and tear in bearings and other moving parts will be less in comparison to 1000

AHEC/MNES/C-347/AAS/Model DPR/MHP 23
 rpm or 1500 rpm turbine-generator set. The speed of turbine-generator set have
therefore been selected as 750 rpm.

From the above discussion, it is apparent that Francis Turbine and Turgo Impluse
Turbine are not suitable to deliver 10kW at 16 meter head. Cross Flow Turbine is
suitable for this scheme. The design of cross flow turbine is very simple and is
manufactured in India by several manufacturer but its efficiency is very low. The
maintenance of cross flow turbine is less complex and cheap than for other type of
turbine. A less complex civil structure is required in cross flow turbine and saving in
cost may be realized. In view of above, cross flow turbine is preferred for this scheme.
The turbine shall be capable to supply 10% continuous over load. The salient features
of Cross Flow Turbine is discussed below.

A cross flow turbine may best be described as an impulse type turbine with partial air
admission. This type of turbine is offered by Ossgerger Turbine Fabrick Co of
Wessenburg, Germany and has the name “Ossberger Turbine.

Performance characteristics of this turbine are similar to an impulse turbine, and

consist of a flat efficiency curve over a wide range of flow and head conditions. The
wide range is accomplished by use of a guide vane at the entrance which directs the
flow to a limited portion of the runner depending on the flow. This operation is
similar to operation of multi-jet impulse turbine.

Peak efficiency of the Cross Flow turbine is less than that of other turbine types.

At the present time the largest size runner produced by cross flow is 4 feet in
diameter. This limits the unit capacity but multi-unit installation are often used.
Allowable heads range from 20 to 600 feet.

Cross flow turbines are equipped with a conical draft tube creating a pressure below
atmosphere in the turbine chamber. Therefore the difference between the turbine
centerline elevation and the tail water is not lost to an cross flow turbines as is the
case for an impulse turbine. Air is admitted into the chamber through an adjustable air
inlet valve used to control the pressure.

AHEC/MNES/C-347/AAS/Model DPR/MHP 24
 Cross Flow turbines are free from cavitation, but are susceptible to wear when
excessive silt or sand particles are in the water. Runners are self-cleaning and, in
general, maintenance is less complex than of the other types of turbine.

Floor space requirements are more than for the other turbine types, but a less complex
structure is required and a savings in cost might be realized.

The turbine shall be capable to with stand runway speed continuously without any
detrimental effect.

The most suitable type of turbine and layout, to the site, however shall depend upon
the actual tendering of the equipment. The selection for the turbine is recommended
on the basis of cost of turbine and associated civil structure and over all efficient and

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND BENEFITS

11.1 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

The Micro Hydro Power Plant will utilize the potential energy of the water of the stream
which is being lost at the present in friction etc. The civil & other construction work being
of very low order, there will hardly be any adverse impact on the nature. It will help to
conserve the other natural resources e.g. the forest and, therefore, will improve the
environment.

11.2 BENEFITS
i. With the provision of electricity in the village, the life of SC/ST and Backward
Community constituting the population of the village will be uplifted.
ii. Provision of electricity will provide opportunities to the villagers to have cottage
industries. This will enhance their economic status.
iii. School going children will have better studying conditions in the homes.
iv. With the provision of power in the area, the pressure on wood will reduce considerably.
v. With the betterment of lining conditions due to co-operation from the forest department,
the people will have a different attitude towards the forest resources, which will
ultimately result in saving the forest.

The Patu Micro Hydro Project comprises of the following Civil Works.

i. Diversion Weir
ii. Intake Channel cum Power Channel
iii. Forebay cum Desilting Tank
iv. Penstock
v. Power House
vi. Tail Race Channel

Levels of structures, rated head and discharge based on the preliminary survey
conducted by a joint team of AHEC and APEDA, the parameters have been fixed as
given below.

a. Bed Level of Patu Nalla at diversion site = 1883.120m

b. Bed Level of Intake channel at head = 1883.62 m
c. Approximate bed Slope of Stream = 1 in 20
d. F.S.L of Intake /Feeder Channel at Head = 1883.62 + 0.30
= 1883.92 m
e. F.S.L in Desilting Tank = 1883.92 -0.50
= 1883.42 m
(i) Length of Feeder cum Power Channel = 200 m
(ii) Slope of Feeder cum Power Channel = 1 in 400
f. F.S.L in Forebay = 1883.40 m
g. Centre line of penstock in P.H keeping
500 mm above floor level = 1865.40 m
h. Gross Head = F.S.L in Forebay - Centre line of penstock

2.0 POWER POTENTIAL AVAILABLE

The discharge was measured by AHEC team on May 02, 2006 and found 376 litres
per second. This is the peak period discharge.
The power potential available kW = 9.81 x Q x H x η g x η t
= 9.81 x .376 x 16 x 0.80 x 0.70
= 33 kW
But as per site requirement only 10 kW is needed to be generated
