increasing demand of hydropower supply in India

2Hydropower is a renewable energy resource that
utilizes Earth's water cycle to generate
electricity. The movement of water flow
downstream in lakes and rivers creates kinetic
energy that id converted into electricity. The
energy generated by running water has been
utilized for many decades. The well-established
hydroelectric power plant consists of a high dam
built across a large river to create a reservoir
and a station where the process of energy
conversion to electricity occurs. The initial
step in the
3- generation of energy in a hydropower plant is the
collection of run-off of seasonal rain water,
snow in lakes, streams and rivers. All this water
is collect in dams downstream. Then the water is
made to falls through a dam into the hydropower
plant and rotates a large wheel called a turbine.
The turbine then converts the energy of falling
water into mechanical energy to drive the
generator. The electricity thus obtained is
transferred to the communities through
transmission lines. The water is then released
back into the lakes, streams or rivers. - Worlds largest source of renewable energy is
hydropower and accounts for over fifty percent of
the renewable energy power production. Hydropower
process involves various methods used to convert
moving water into clean and renewable
electricity. India is the one of the largest
producers of hydroelectricity in the world. Many
small and large hydroelectricity power units were
established
4- nationwide to meet the increasing energy demands
of the growing population. The first
hydroelectric power plants were established in
the years 1898 and 1902 at Darjeeling and
Shivanasamudram. - Indias leading hydroelectric power production
companies in public sector are The National
Hydroelectricty Power Corporation (NHPC),
Northeast Electric Power Company (NEEPCO), Satluj
Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVNL), THDC and NTPC-Hydro.
The government owned enterprise in north India is
the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) where
hydroelectricity is produced at 27 paise. The
hydropower stations are located in the western
ghats of Kerala and Karnataka need to be extended
while including pumped storage units to solve
water deficit issues in Kaveri and Krishna
rivers. The leading companies in hydropower
generation in India are Maharashtra State Power
Generation Co. Ltd., SJVN Limited, JSW Energy
Limited Karnataka Power Corporation Limited, NHDC
5Limited, THDC India Limited, NTPC Limited, NHPC
Limited, Andhra Pradesh Power Generation
Corporation Limited and Orissa Hydro Power
Corporation Ltd. According to the study
Hydropower (Large, Small and Pumped Storage) in
India, Market Outlook to 2030, Update
2017-Capacity, Generation, Regulations and
Company Profiles, the disadvantages in the
traditional hydropower plants construction are
that the river water floods the land, changes the
natural landscape, drives away population from
the flood affected lands, and hinders free
movement fish. Construction of large-scale hydro
power plants can be polluting and damaging the
ecosystem. The hydro projects can be unreliable
during prolonged droughts, dry seasons or when
water level is low.
6Multitek Consortium is a leading hydro energy
based company in India located in Delhi. This
company offer products for hydro energy system
components (small), water pumps, turbine
machines, gates and hoists, penstock etc. SBA
Hydro Systems Pvt. Ltd is another leading
manufacturer, wholesale supplier, exporter of
hydro energy products. The companys range of
products include hydro energy system components
(small), hydro energy system components (large),
hydro energy systems (large), hydro energy
systems (small), hydroelectric turbines (small),
hydroelectric turbines (large). India produces
abundant hydroelectric power at various regions
at well-installed plants. India has transformed
itself from an electricity deficit nation to an
electricity surplus nation. The country has
established surplus storage capacity of nearly
48000 MV while installing large, small, mini,
micro and pico hydroelectric plants. The excess
power generated is transferred or collected in
the power
7- storage units. These pumped storage power units
are used at pumping stations to supply river
water for upland irrigation, industrial needs,
and drinking water. Abundant water is needed for
agriculture due to a high evaporation rates. With
the increases water security the food security
has also tightened in the country along with the
supply of power required for power storage
schemes. It was observed that there will be a
gigantic growth in the hydropower sector in India
over the coming years due to its abundant water
resources, scope for development and government
support for hydropower projects. - Key Factors Considered in the Report
