40 KW MICRO HYDRO TURBINE AT TANSA DAM
#Problem faced by Client:
Irregular supply of power in Tansa Dam vicinity
#VEMPL Key Role:
VEMPL conducted site survey and observed that there is a potential for generating power without compromising the water supply and accordingly suggested MCGM to install a hydro turbine for generating electricity to meet their day to day power requirement.
#Report made by VEMPL :
Tansa Dam is one of the key Dams to supply drinking water to Mumbai city. Water being supplied through cross country pipelines having potential head and this head could be used to generate electricity, which latter can be used in vicinity as the Dam being situated in rural area where energy from MSEB is not regular.
Hence, this project came into existence where MCGM awarded us with the contract for Designing, Supplying, Installation, and Testing & Commissioning of the system at site.
This has been FIRST such installation in MCGM.

Micro hydro systems “Micro” Hydro systems typically refer to hydro power systems that have a power output of 40 KW. The systems are mostly designed to provide power for household use and small communities. The major advantage of this system when compared to other renewable energy technologies is that, if enough water is available, it can provide a constant and/or predictable power supply, whereas other technologies (specifically wind and solar power) provide intermittent or unpredictable energy.

A complete Micro Hydro system consists of the following major components, which are discussed in this section.
– Water filtering mechanism
– Penstock with valves
– Turbine
– Power -converting device (Generator or direct -drive)
VEMPLs role include provision of the PAT system (Pump as turbine system) a M/s. Kirloskar Brothers Limited make pump . The system would then be tested at kirloskar plant for the duty parameters and will be supplied and installed on existing pipeline. The potential energy stored by means of available head , would be used to generate 40 KW of energy.
System Potential
– O/P up to 100 K W
– Can be installed in rural and remote areas
– The E lectrical & Mechanical Systems are easy and economic to source
– Easy to I nstall , Operate and Maintain
– Almost no adverse impact on environment
