1 Investigation and Planning

11 Estimate of Power Demand

(1) Need for Power Demand Survey

There are many villages scattered around the rural areas of Myanmar where by far the largest percentage of the population lives that do not have electricity and where the electrification ratio has not reached 8 Any further extension of the distribution lines from the national grid would be difficult even to areas near the grid system because of the shortage of generated power

In order to advance rural electrification under such circumstances the development of isolated power systems would be more practical than extension of the power grid Renewable energy such as small ~ micro-scale hydropower for which the potential is abundant in the mountainous regions would be one of the most effective sources for the areas and the local technological expertise has been developing to some extent recently

It is essential to be able to estimate accurately the power demand for the target area when a small hydropower scheme is launched Because hydropower is a site-specific energy identification of hydro potentials to meet the required demand should be the basis for the planning of rural electrification For the power supply in an isolated grid system the power generated should be kept at a higher level than the load incurred otherwise the following measures are needed

1) Backup power by other power sources such as diesel generators

2) Adjustment of the power demand

(2) Survey for Power Demand

The power demand in the rural areas in Myanmar can be classified into the following categories according to a rural society survey conducted by the JICA Study Team in June 2001

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

AVQ sdot=

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

(2) Geology

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

11 Estimate of Power Demand

(1) Need for Power Demand Survey

There are many villages scattered around the rural areas of Myanmar where by far the largest percentage of the population lives that do not have electricity and where the electrification ratio has not reached 8 Any further extension of the distribution lines from the national grid would be difficult even to areas near the grid system because of the shortage of generated power

In order to advance rural electrification under such circumstances the development of isolated power systems would be more practical than extension of the power grid Renewable energy such as small ~ micro-scale hydropower for which the potential is abundant in the mountainous regions would be one of the most effective sources for the areas and the local technological expertise has been developing to some extent recently

It is essential to be able to estimate accurately the power demand for the target area when a small hydropower scheme is launched Because hydropower is a site-specific energy identification of hydro potentials to meet the required demand should be the basis for the planning of rural electrification For the power supply in an isolated grid system the power generated should be kept at a higher level than the load incurred otherwise the following measures are needed

1) Backup power by other power sources such as diesel generators

2) Adjustment of the power demand

(2) Survey for Power Demand

The power demand in the rural areas in Myanmar can be classified into the following categories according to a rural society survey conducted by the JICA Study Team in June 2001

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

AVQ sdot=

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

1 Investigation and Planning

11 Estimate of Power Demand

(1) Need for Power Demand Survey

There are many villages scattered around the rural areas of Myanmar where by far the largest percentage of the population lives that do not have electricity and where the electrification ratio has not reached 8 Any further extension of the distribution lines from the national grid would be difficult even to areas near the grid system because of the shortage of generated power

In order to advance rural electrification under such circumstances the development of isolated power systems would be more practical than extension of the power grid Renewable energy such as small ~ micro-scale hydropower for which the potential is abundant in the mountainous regions would be one of the most effective sources for the areas and the local technological expertise has been developing to some extent recently

It is essential to be able to estimate accurately the power demand for the target area when a small hydropower scheme is launched Because hydropower is a site-specific energy identification of hydro potentials to meet the required demand should be the basis for the planning of rural electrification For the power supply in an isolated grid system the power generated should be kept at a higher level than the load incurred otherwise the following measures are needed

1) Backup power by other power sources such as diesel generators

2) Adjustment of the power demand

(2) Survey for Power Demand

The power demand in the rural areas in Myanmar can be classified into the following categories according to a rural society survey conducted by the JICA Study Team in June 2001

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

AVQ sdot=

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

(2) Geology

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

1 Investigation and Planning

11 Estimate of Power Demand

(1) Need for Power Demand Survey

There are many villages scattered around the rural areas of Myanmar where by far the largest percentage of the population lives that do not have electricity and where the electrification ratio has not reached 8 Any further extension of the distribution lines from the national grid would be difficult even to areas near the grid system because of the shortage of generated power

In order to advance rural electrification under such circumstances the development of isolated power systems would be more practical than extension of the power grid Renewable energy such as small ~ micro-scale hydropower for which the potential is abundant in the mountainous regions would be one of the most effective sources for the areas and the local technological expertise has been developing to some extent recently

It is essential to be able to estimate accurately the power demand for the target area when a small hydropower scheme is launched Because hydropower is a site-specific energy identification of hydro potentials to meet the required demand should be the basis for the planning of rural electrification For the power supply in an isolated grid system the power generated should be kept at a higher level than the load incurred otherwise the following measures are needed

1) Backup power by other power sources such as diesel generators

2) Adjustment of the power demand

(2) Survey for Power Demand

The power demand in the rural areas in Myanmar can be classified into the following categories according to a rural society survey conducted by the JICA Study Team in June 2001

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

AVQ sdot=

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

1 Investigation and Planning

11 Estimate of Power Demand

(1) Need for Power Demand Survey

There are many villages scattered around the rural areas of Myanmar where by far the largest percentage of the population lives that do not have electricity and where the electrification ratio has not reached 8 Any further extension of the distribution lines from the national grid would be difficult even to areas near the grid system because of the shortage of generated power

In order to advance rural electrification under such circumstances the development of isolated power systems would be more practical than extension of the power grid Renewable energy such as small ~ micro-scale hydropower for which the potential is abundant in the mountainous regions would be one of the most effective sources for the areas and the local technological expertise has been developing to some extent recently

It is essential to be able to estimate accurately the power demand for the target area when a small hydropower scheme is launched Because hydropower is a site-specific energy identification of hydro potentials to meet the required demand should be the basis for the planning of rural electrification For the power supply in an isolated grid system the power generated should be kept at a higher level than the load incurred otherwise the following measures are needed

1) Backup power by other power sources such as diesel generators

2) Adjustment of the power demand

(2) Survey for Power Demand

The power demand in the rural areas in Myanmar can be classified into the following categories according to a rural society survey conducted by the JICA Study Team in June 2001

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

AVQ sdot=

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

(2) Geology

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

1 Investigation and Planning

11 Estimate of Power Demand

(1) Need for Power Demand Survey

There are many villages scattered around the rural areas of Myanmar where by far the largest percentage of the population lives that do not have electricity and where the electrification ratio has not reached 8 Any further extension of the distribution lines from the national grid would be difficult even to areas near the grid system because of the shortage of generated power

In order to advance rural electrification under such circumstances the development of isolated power systems would be more practical than extension of the power grid Renewable energy such as small ~ micro-scale hydropower for which the potential is abundant in the mountainous regions would be one of the most effective sources for the areas and the local technological expertise has been developing to some extent recently

It is essential to be able to estimate accurately the power demand for the target area when a small hydropower scheme is launched Because hydropower is a site-specific energy identification of hydro potentials to meet the required demand should be the basis for the planning of rural electrification For the power supply in an isolated grid system the power generated should be kept at a higher level than the load incurred otherwise the following measures are needed

1) Backup power by other power sources such as diesel generators

2) Adjustment of the power demand

(2) Survey for Power Demand

The power demand in the rural areas in Myanmar can be classified into the following categories according to a rural society survey conducted by the JICA Study Team in June 2001

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

AVQ sdot=

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

1 Investigation and Planning

11 Estimate of Power Demand

(1) Need for Power Demand Survey

There are many villages scattered around the rural areas of Myanmar where by far the largest percentage of the population lives that do not have electricity and where the electrification ratio has not reached 8 Any further extension of the distribution lines from the national grid would be difficult even to areas near the grid system because of the shortage of generated power

In order to advance rural electrification under such circumstances the development of isolated power systems would be more practical than extension of the power grid Renewable energy such as small ~ micro-scale hydropower for which the potential is abundant in the mountainous regions would be one of the most effective sources for the areas and the local technological expertise has been developing to some extent recently

It is essential to be able to estimate accurately the power demand for the target area when a small hydropower scheme is launched Because hydropower is a site-specific energy identification of hydro potentials to meet the required demand should be the basis for the planning of rural electrification For the power supply in an isolated grid system the power generated should be kept at a higher level than the load incurred otherwise the following measures are needed

1) Backup power by other power sources such as diesel generators

2) Adjustment of the power demand

(2) Survey for Power Demand

The power demand in the rural areas in Myanmar can be classified into the following categories according to a rural society survey conducted by the JICA Study Team in June 2001

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

1 Investigation and Planning

11 Estimate of Power Demand

(1) Need for Power Demand Survey

There are many villages scattered around the rural areas of Myanmar where by far the largest percentage of the population lives that do not have electricity and where the electrification ratio has not reached 8 Any further extension of the distribution lines from the national grid would be difficult even to areas near the grid system because of the shortage of generated power

In order to advance rural electrification under such circumstances the development of isolated power systems would be more practical than extension of the power grid Renewable energy such as small ~ micro-scale hydropower for which the potential is abundant in the mountainous regions would be one of the most effective sources for the areas and the local technological expertise has been developing to some extent recently

It is essential to be able to estimate accurately the power demand for the target area when a small hydropower scheme is launched Because hydropower is a site-specific energy identification of hydro potentials to meet the required demand should be the basis for the planning of rural electrification For the power supply in an isolated grid system the power generated should be kept at a higher level than the load incurred otherwise the following measures are needed

1) Backup power by other power sources such as diesel generators

2) Adjustment of the power demand

(2) Survey for Power Demand

The power demand in the rural areas in Myanmar can be classified into the following categories according to a rural society survey conducted by the JICA Study Team in June 2001

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

The following is an example of inflow estimate

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Household use light TV radio refrigerator rice cooker etc

Public use streetlight templepagoda clinichospital school etc

Industrial use local industries etc

An investigation of the rural society needs to be carried out at the initial stage of the planning to estimate the power demand of which the main items are summarised as follows

a) Numbers of household and population in each village tract

b) Numbers scales and time zone of electric appliances in home use public use and local industry use

c) Existing power facilities and existing electrification ratio

d) Future development

The general information required for the planning is as follows

Administration of the township that covers the demand centre

Location area and accessibility of the demand centre

Main industries

Willingness to electrification

Income and ability to pay for electricity

Possibility for rehabilitation of the existing power facilities and extension of distribution lines

Land use in the river basin and agricultural cropping patterns

Land acquisition

Sectional map showing the village tracts

The load curves for seasonal and time fluctuations of the power demand should be estimated taking into account the usage patterns of electrical facilitiesappliances ratio of concurrent use etc by reference to the existing records in neighbouring power stations

Seasonal fluctuation Agricultural processing drying processing in monsoon regions

Time fluctuation Lighting in night-time use local industries in daytime use

-3-Nippon Koei IEEJ Volume 4 Manuals Part 2

The Study on Introduction of Renewable Energies in Rural Areas in MYANMAR

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Types of Penstock are summarised as follows Table 261 Types and Features of Penstock

Type Features

Open type Most commonly applied to small hydro schemes Anchor blocks are provided at bend portions which should be founded

on firm foundations enough to support the blocks with penstock pipes against sliding over turning and bearing

Interval of each anchor block should be less than 100 m generally Saddle piers are provided at 6 m interval Maximum angle of pipe inclination should be 55deg Drainage and slope protection should be considered for the open

excavated areas Expansion joints just below the head tank and between each anchor Bitumen between pipes and anchorssaddles to avoid corrosion

Buried type Applicable to the following conditions (a) soft foundations not to support the anchor blocks (b) areas susceptible to attack of landslides or running water (c) gentle slopes to keep the stability of backfill materials

Steel pipes should be galvanised and double coated with either bitumen or high zinc content paint

Tunnel type Generally not applied in smallmini hydropower schemes Source JICA Study Team

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Where electric motors are being operated the gross power demand (Pd) for such facilities should be within a suitable range due to the inrush current required at the starting time

Pd lt (Total power output ndash Other demand) x 40

The main electrification demands in home use are for lighting TV radio and refrigerator in that order of priority and the averaged household demand was estimated at 120 W for lighting and 160 W after introducing rice cookers according to the rural survey by JICA Study Team conducted in June 2002

Local cottage industries may consist of the main demand during daytime and can be an important factor for determining the electricity tariff system local development and sustainable management of the VEC An investigation is needed to determine the number of units power consumption operating conditions and diesel consumption required to service the electricity powered machines being operated in existing local cottage industries

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

AVQ sdot=

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

(2) Geology

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

12 Measurement of Discharge and Head

(1) Measurement of Discharge

In the rural areas of Myanmar the existence of either discharge records or water level gauging station information is generally expected at the rivers where a small hydropower station is planned When a small hydropower site is identified the discharge measurement of the river through a year is preferable It is indispensable for the planning to carry out the following

1) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within a proper range that enable establishment of the stage-discharge rating curve at the intake site

2) Establishment of the water level gauge and as many as possible readings especially during the dry season The task of gathering such information may be sublet to the local inhabitants

The river discharges are likely to decrease significantly in the dry season in Myanmar as compared with those in the rainy season It is accordingly essential to investigate discharges especially in the dry season for the planning of a small hydro station with an isolated grid system to supply stable energy throughout a year

The following methods are available to measure the river discharge

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Types of Penstock are summarised as follows Table 261 Types and Features of Penstock

Type Features

Open type Most commonly applied to small hydro schemes Anchor blocks are provided at bend portions which should be founded

on firm foundations enough to support the blocks with penstock pipes against sliding over turning and bearing

Interval of each anchor block should be less than 100 m generally Saddle piers are provided at 6 m interval Maximum angle of pipe inclination should be 55deg Drainage and slope protection should be considered for the open

excavated areas Expansion joints just below the head tank and between each anchor Bitumen between pipes and anchorssaddles to avoid corrosion

Buried type Applicable to the following conditions (a) soft foundations not to support the anchor blocks (b) areas susceptible to attack of landslides or running water (c) gentle slopes to keep the stability of backfill materials

Steel pipes should be galvanised and double coated with either bitumen or high zinc content paint

Tunnel type Generally not applied in smallmini hydropower schemes Source JICA Study Team

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

This is the most common method to measure velocities where the stream is not irregular and turbulent A location for the measurement should be selected in a straight stretch of the river Simple measurements as below may be sufficient for streams where a small hydropower scheme is planned

i) 2-point method Vm = 12 x (V02 + V08) for depth gt 1 m

ii) 1-point method Vm = V06 for depth lt 1 m

where Vm mean velocity V06 velocity at 60 depth from surface

The discharge of flow can be derived using the following equation

AVQ sdot=

4) Float Method

This is the easiest method to measure velocities in a stream without any special equipment However the accuracy cannot be expected where the stream is irregular wide and shallow The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

The following facilities for a canal may need to be designed for the above conditions

Table 231 Facilities for a Canal Potential Landslide (a) Box culvert or canal cover (concretewood)

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

basin and to release it safely to protect the canal from being attacked or eroded by the drained flow or debris

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

5) Weir Method

This method requires construction of a weir across the stream to measure discharge directly in the stream The discharge of flow is given by the following formula

51)20(841 hhLQ sdotsdotminussdot=

6) Stage-Discharge Method

This method consists of the following procedures

(i) Discharge measurement more than 10 times within the range required to establish a stage-discharge rating curve

(ii) Water level gauge reading

The relation between water level and discharge can be expressed by a quadratic equation It is noted that the stage-discharge rating curve should be reviewed periodically for calibration especially after the flood season that may result in erosion or sedimentation on the riverbed

A form for discharge measurement is shown below

Where c = 085 for concrete channel 080 for smooth stream 065 for shallow stream

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

(2) Geology

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

Effective head can be calculated by deducting the head losses from the gross head between the intake and the tailrace However the effective head for impulse turbines

where

η combined efficiency for turbine and generator

Q power discharge (m3s)

H effective head (m)

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

13 Available Power Discharge

If paddy fields with single-cropping are developed in a river basin whose water is utilised for power generation the irrigation water supply usually starts in May when the river discharge is at the minimum level in the end of the dry season Therefore the available discharge in May is likely to become the lowest under such circumstances

The first priority for water utilisation is generally given to the irrigation supply in rural areas in Myanmar It is therefore required to investigate not only the river discharge but also the existing water utilisation irrigation system and rainfall patterns to estimate the available power discharge The following items need to be surveyed at the planning stage

Land utilisation in the areas affected by a hydropower station

Irrigation area the cropping patterns and the irrigation supply discharge

Future development plan for irrigation

Basic stance of local inhabitants for the water utilisation

When the water use produces a conflict between irrigation and power generation demands the following needs to be considered

1) The location of the power generation facilities should be carefully selected to minimise the conflict between irrigation water use and power discharge in the area where the river flow is utilised for the irrigation in the river stretch between the intake and the tailrace

2) The river discharge and the irrigation demand in the areas affected by the hydropower plant should be investigated throughout one year to estimate the available power discharge taking into account the existing irrigation practices

3) Irrigation water for paddy fields is approximately 10 m3s for 1000 ha in general Areas cropping patterns irrigation canal systems return flow into the river rainfall and supplemental discharge from the river are major factors to estimate the irrigation demand

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

(2) Geology

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

(2) Effective Head

Effective head can be calculated by deducting the head losses from the gross head between the intake and the tailrace However the effective head for impulse turbines

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

The following is an example of inflow estimate

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

(2) Geology

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

14 Surveys for Topography and Geology

(1) Topography

An Inch-mile map (163360) is suitable to identify a hydropower scheme site for the initial planning and to determine accessibility from the demand centre

The use of a portable GPS may be a powerful tool to position easily and accurately the specific points in and around the project area at the initial planning stage A sample mapping by GPS is shown figure in the next page

It is essential for the detailed design and construction to map the topography of the anticipated construction areas that will cover the open civil structures such as intake de-silting basin head tank and powerhouse at a 1500 scale or larger based on a topographic survey As for power canals the profile and cross sectional surveys may be enough for the design but further mapping of the areas around the related structures such as cross drains side spillways siphons etc will be required

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

where

Q power discharge (m3s)

H effective head (m)

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

Effective head can be calculated by deducting the head losses from the gross head between the intake and the tailrace However the effective head for impulse turbines

where

P Power output (kW)

η combined efficiency for turbine and generator

Q power discharge (m3s)

H effective head (m)

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Types of Penstock are summarised as follows Table 261 Types and Features of Penstock

Type Features

Open type Most commonly applied to small hydro schemes Anchor blocks are provided at bend portions which should be founded

on firm foundations enough to support the blocks with penstock pipes against sliding over turning and bearing

Interval of each anchor block should be less than 100 m generally Saddle piers are provided at 6 m interval Maximum angle of pipe inclination should be 55deg Drainage and slope protection should be considered for the open

excavated areas Expansion joints just below the head tank and between each anchor Bitumen between pipes and anchorssaddles to avoid corrosion

Buried type Applicable to the following conditions (a) soft foundations not to support the anchor blocks (b) areas susceptible to attack of landslides or running water (c) gentle slopes to keep the stability of backfill materials

Steel pipes should be galvanised and double coated with either bitumen or high zinc content paint

Tunnel type Generally not applied in smallmini hydropower schemes Source JICA Study Team

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

(2) Geology

Test pitting is enough to confirm the foundation geology of the key structures for small hydropower schemes A practical pit size is 18 m long x 12 m wide x 50 m deep It can be manually dug with scoops and picks using a rope and bucket to lift up the excavated soil without the use of any further heavy lifting equipment

A pit log should be prepared for every test pit as a report of the test pitting and should contain the pit number its location boundaries and depths description of soil groundwater table and bedrock surface if any and all other relevant information

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

(2) Effective Head

Effective head can be calculated by deducting the head losses from the gross head between the intake and the tailrace However the effective head for impulse turbines

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

The following is an example of inflow estimate

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Selection of Site

Attention should be paid to the following points to identify the potential for a small hydropower scheme with an isolated grid system

1) Discharges are stable even in the dry season

2) Specific discharge (m3sec 100 km2) is big

3) (LH) rate is small

4) Distance from demand centre is short

Basic Layout

The main components of the civil facilities are weir intake de-silting basin power canal head tank pondage penstock powerhouse and tailrace It is rare for dam type power generation or tunnel waterway types to be adopted in a small hydropower facility However existing irrigation dams may be utilised for smallmini hydropower in a re-development plan

The existing irrigation canals with drops may be utilised for minimicro hydropower Penstock pipes can be connected to the intake or the de-silting basin without provision of a power canal In such a case since all or part of the irrigation water is to be used for power generation the discharge fluctuation during irrigation and non-irrigation periods needs to be confirmed

Depending on the nature of the work and the design conditions involved the combination of facilities may be varied As have been experienced in many small hydropower plants constructed the major issues relating to the civil components are i) sedimentation and ii) hydraulic characteristics during floods Therefore suitable combinations and layouts responding to the specific site conditions need to be

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

The lining type of concrete lining canal has the following characteristics (a) durable (b) relatively high cost (c) velocity lt 30 ms (d) roughness coefficient n = 0015 on an average

Cross Drain

If a power canal passes through valleys with catchment areas drain facilities that cross under or over the power canal should be provided to protect the canal structure from attack from running water with containing debris during rainfall Box culverts concrete pipes polyethylene pipes etc are used as under drains and open chutes as over drains Under drains need adequate flow area since they are likely to be clogged with debris soil etc A minimum inner space of 60 cm is preferable for manual cleaning

Slope steeper than 150 Size bigger than φ 60cm Enough flow area not to be clogged Maintenance for clogging

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

16 Hydropower Planning

(1) Design Discharge

For a small hydropower station with an isolated grid system the power generated should be above the load demanded when a backup power system cannot be provided The main points for planning of such a small hydro plant are summarised as follows

1) determination of the minimum power discharge based on the available minimum discharge for power generation ( 90 ~ 95 dependable discharge is a general target)

2) determination of the maximum power discharge depending on the peak load demand and the available discharge during the rainy season

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

where

P Power output (kW)

η combined efficiency for turbine and generator

Q power discharge (m3s)

H effective head (m)

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

basin and to release it safely to protect the canal from being attacked or eroded by the drained flow or debris

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Ratios of (minimum turbine discharge)(maximum turbine discharge) and (minimum efficiency)(maximum efficiency) are given for typical turbines below

The numbers of turbines for a small hydropower plant are preferably 1 unit or 2 units to cover the wide range of discharge fluctuation When turbines without discharge control such as Reverse Type are adopted several units may be installed to respond to available discharges in the rainy and dry seasons The number of units required is closely related to the selection of turbine type as explained later

where

η combined efficiency for turbine and generator

Q power discharge (m3s)

H effective head (m)

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

The following facilities for a canal may need to be designed for the above conditions

Table 231 Facilities for a Canal Potential Landslide (a) Box culvert or canal cover (concretewood)

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

basin and to release it safely to protect the canal from being attacked or eroded by the drained flow or debris

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

where

P Power output (kW)

η combined efficiency for turbine and generator

Q power discharge (m3s)

H effective head (m)

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

For maximum discharge Q1

Annual Energy E1 = ξ1 middot P middot 8760

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

Annual Energy E2 = ξ2 middot P middot 8760

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

If a run-of-river scheme requires a flow of more than the minimum river discharge a flow duration curve is useful to estimate the approximate annual energy as follows

Where E1 Annual energy (kWh) P Max power output (kW)

For maximum discharge Q2

When a bigger discharge (Q1) is selected a larger scale of power facility with a lower plant factor is required while a smaller discharge (Q2) gives a smaller plant facility with a higher plant factor The optimum maximum design discharge to be finally selected should take into account the revenue generated and the cost incurred in principle bearing in mind that the power tariff needs to be properly established

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

If slope failures or sediment yield are confirmed in the upstream basin

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Site Selection

This section deals with run-of-river schemes that do not require dam construction but employ a diversion structure or weir across the river

One of the most common problems affecting a smallminimicro hydropower scheme is the damage to the intake caused by floods and another is sedimentation deposited upstream of the intake or flowing into the waterway The following points are to be considered in locating the intake structures

1) Intake (A) The best location for an intake is to locate it along a relatively straight stretch of the stream

2) Intake (B) Susceptible to severe damage from floods debris and erosion

3) Intake (C) Sediments tend to accumulate in front of the intake and can enter andor block the intake

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Tyrolean Intake

Figure 213 Tyrolean Intake

Countermeasures against Sedimentation

The Tyrolean intake is applicable to minimicro hydropower stations located on steep rivers containing boulders and pebbles The characteristics of Tyrolean type intake are as follows

1) Intake facilities can be minimised

2) Relatively large amounts of sediment will enter the intake especially during a flood so a sand drain facility with enough hydraulic gradient and capacity to drain out the sediment is indispensable Periodical sand draining operations are required

3) Cleaning work for driftwood or leaves trapped on the screen is necessary

4) An intake discharge of 01 ~ 03 m3sm2 a screen slope gentler than 30deg and a screen bar interval of 20 ~ 30 mm is generally practised

A sand flush gate should be located to one side of the weir to release sediments deposited upstream of the weir The intake is located at a side of the river just upstream of the weir and to minimise sand volume entering the intake The sill level of a sand flush gate is generally set at 05 ~ 10 m higher than the original riverbed level and 10 ~ 15 m lower than the intake floor level

The skimmer wall at the entrance of the inlet may be effective to prevent driftwood or an excessive flood flow from entering the intake

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

The following is an example of inflow estimate

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Types of Penstock are summarised as follows Table 261 Types and Features of Penstock

Type Features

Open type Most commonly applied to small hydro schemes Anchor blocks are provided at bend portions which should be founded

on firm foundations enough to support the blocks with penstock pipes against sliding over turning and bearing

Interval of each anchor block should be less than 100 m generally Saddle piers are provided at 6 m interval Maximum angle of pipe inclination should be 55deg Drainage and slope protection should be considered for the open

excavated areas Expansion joints just below the head tank and between each anchor Bitumen between pipes and anchorssaddles to avoid corrosion

Buried type Applicable to the following conditions (a) soft foundations not to support the anchor blocks (b) areas susceptible to attack of landslides or running water (c) gentle slopes to keep the stability of backfill materials

Steel pipes should be galvanised and double coated with either bitumen or high zinc content paint

Tunnel type Generally not applied in smallmini hydropower schemes Source JICA Study Team

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Example of Rating Curve

It should be noted that type of weir to be applied should be determined according to the power scale importance flood discharge foundation condition and maintenance requirements The use of high quality materials and construction techniques will result in less maintenance and repair work over the life of the scheme

The weir crest level of is normally designed equal to the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) under the maximum design discharge

The hydraulic design of weir and intake should be made appropriately to take the proper discharge into the waterway Since the flow taken from a river is not regulated in a run-of-river scheme any excessive water above the maximum design discharge should be released safely from spillways When a weir crest is set equal to the FSWL at the maximum design discharge the inflow into the intake can be divided into the following cases

1) (River flow) lt (Maximum design discharge)

Whole flow enters the intake The water level varies between FSWL (EL1)

and the intake floor level (EL2) The maximum design discharge flows into

the intake at FSWL The minimum flow to the downstream

basin shall be released from the river outlet at any conditions if need be

2) (River flow) gt (Maximum design discharge)

A water level is above FSWL (EL1) when a part discharge is spilt over the weir and the remainder that exceeds the maximum design discharge enters the waterway

Any excessive discharge taken from the intake should be released from a side spillway which needs to be provided at a suitable location of the waterway

The intake gate should be closed during a flood to avoid excessive sediment inflow into the waterway

If a river water level is known from readings of a water level gauge provided at the forebay a discharge entering the waterway can be estimated by the following sequences Then a rating curve (WL-Q) at the forebay can be prepared

Overflow discharge from spillway and outflow discharge through sand flush gate can be calculated by the following formulas

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

Types of Penstock are summarised as follows Table 261 Types and Features of Penstock

Type Features

Open type Most commonly applied to small hydro schemes Anchor blocks are provided at bend portions which should be founded

on firm foundations enough to support the blocks with penstock pipes against sliding over turning and bearing

Interval of each anchor block should be less than 100 m generally Saddle piers are provided at 6 m interval Maximum angle of pipe inclination should be 55deg Drainage and slope protection should be considered for the open

excavated areas Expansion joints just below the head tank and between each anchor Bitumen between pipes and anchorssaddles to avoid corrosion

Buried type Applicable to the following conditions (a) soft foundations not to support the anchor blocks (b) areas susceptible to attack of landslides or running water (c) gentle slopes to keep the stability of backfill materials

Steel pipes should be galvanised and double coated with either bitumen or high zinc content paint

Tunnel type Generally not applied in smallmini hydropower schemes Source JICA Study Team

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

The de-silting basin is designed to settle sands bigger than 05 ~ 10 mm diameter of which the settling velocity corresponds to 01 ms Average flow velocity in a de-silting basin is generally 03 ms and the channel slope is 110 ~ 130 The length of de-silting basin is given by the following empirical formula

where L length of de-silting basin (m) hs depth of de-silting basin (m) v average velocity in de-silting basin (ms) = Q (B x hs) = 03 ms u settling velocity for target sand particle (ms) = 01 ms for sand grains of

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

The following facilities for a canal may need to be designed for the above conditions

Table 231 Facilities for a Canal Potential Landslide (a) Box culvert or canal cover (concretewood)

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

basin and to release it safely to protect the canal from being attacked or eroded by the drained flow or debris

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

27 Powerhouse

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

The following facilities for a canal may need to be designed for the above conditions

Table 231 Facilities for a Canal Potential Landslide (a) Box culvert or canal cover (concretewood)

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

basin and to release it safely to protect the canal from being attacked or eroded by the drained flow or debris

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Cross Drain

If a power canal passes through valleys with catchment areas drain facilities that cross under or over the power canal should be provided to protect the canal structure from attack from running water with containing debris during rainfall Box culverts concrete pipes polyethylene pipes etc are used as under drains and open chutes as over drains Under drains need adequate flow area since they are likely to be clogged with debris soil etc A minimum inner space of 60 cm is preferable for manual cleaning

Slope steeper than 150 Size bigger than φ 60cm Enough flow area not to be clogged Maintenance for clogging

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

The following is an example of inflow estimate

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

A skimmer wall at the entrance of the intake will be effective not only to avoid driftwood entering or debris floating into the intake but also to restrict an excessive inflow by making an orifice flow when the river water level is higher than the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) during a flood

An intake gate is provided at the upstream section of the de-silting basin that can be closed during the sand drain operation or maintenance of the waterway The gate is to be closed during floods to avoid excessive sediment inflow The velocity through the intake gate opening should be limited to about 10 ms

Trashracks are provided at the entrance of the intake to prevent trash leaves and floating debris from entering the waterway The screen bars are generally arranged with 5 ~ 9 mm thick 50 ~ 120 mm bar wide 100 ~ 150 mm intervals and 60 ~ 70ordmangle to the horizontal

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Cross Drain

If a power canal passes through valleys with catchment areas drain facilities that cross under or over the power canal should be provided to protect the canal structure from attack from running water with containing debris during rainfall Box culverts concrete pipes polyethylene pipes etc are used as under drains and open chutes as over drains Under drains need adequate flow area since they are likely to be clogged with debris soil etc A minimum inner space of 60 cm is preferable for manual cleaning

Slope steeper than 150 Size bigger than φ 60cm Enough flow area not to be clogged Maintenance for clogging

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

The following is an example of inflow estimate

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

basin and to release it safely to protect the canal from being attacked or eroded by the drained flow or debris

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

27 Powerhouse

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

23 Power Canal

Route Selection

This section deals with open canals only which are most commonly applied to smallminimicro hydropower schemes especially in Myanmar

A route for the power canal needs to be selected after consideration of the topographic features along the canal for the following points

1) Stability against slope above andor below the canal

2) Specific conditions such as streams roads and the existing structures to be crossed

Selection of the canal route and the design of canals should be made in consideration of the fact that the water level in a canal may rise for any of several possible reasons

1) When the canal flow is obstructed by a landslide or closure of a gate at the downstream facilities

2) When excessive water enters the intake during a flood

3) When excessive running water is drained into the canal during heavy rain

The following facilities for a canal may need to be designed for the above conditions

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

The following facilities for a canal may need to be designed for the above conditions

Table 231 Facilities for a Canal Potential Landslide (a) Box culvert or canal cover (concretewood)

(b) Slope protection by structural reinforcement of the slope excavation in a gentler slope and vegetation such as sodding or planting

Crossing of stream or valley

(a) Aqueduct to by-pass the flows from a flood or debris flow (b) Siphon to path under the stream (c) Drainage facilities to collect the running water in the catchment

basin and to release it safely to protect the canal from being attacked or eroded by the drained flow or debris

Crossing of roads or existing structures

(a) Box culvert or bridge to connect the existing road (b) Steel pipe or concrete conduit embedded under the existing

structures Excessive inflow (a) Side spillway to overflow the excessive flow over the max

design discharge An appropriate protection work against scouring by the overflow is indispensable

(b) Drainage facilities to avoid excessive inflow into the canal Source JICA Study Team

When selecting the canal route the existing structures such as foot pass and irrigation channel can be utilised to minimise the construction cost of the canal as well as ease of access

Depending on the topographic conditions it may be possible to omit the power canal and the penstock may be connected directly to the de-silting basin or the head tank

Existing footpath or irrigation canal may be utilized for power canal

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Vmin = 03 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying silty water Vmin = 03 ~ 05 ms for sedimentation for flow carrying fine sand Vmin = 07 ms to prevent aquatic plants

Canal Dimensions

Power canals are to be designed in consideration of 1) flow capacity 2) velocity 3) roughness 4) slope 5) sectional shape 6) lining (with or without material) and 5) maintenance

The velocity in a canal should be low enough to prevent erosion of the canal especially if it is unlined and to keep effective head as high as possible

The velocity in a canal should be high enough to prevent sedimentation and to avoid the growth of aquatic plants especially in unlined earth canals

Maximum permissible velocities for unlined canals to avoid erosion are given as follows

Table 232 Velocities for Unlined Canals Material n Vmax

(ms) Permeability

(x 10-6m3sm2) Fine sand 0020 - 0025 03 ndash 04 gt 83 Sandy loam 0020 - 0025 04 ndash 06 28 ndash 83 Clayey loam 0020 - 0025 06 ndash 08 14 ndash 28 Clay 0020 - 0025 08 ndash 20 03 ndash 14

For a lined canal wear of abrasion sets the upper limit on velocity Velocities above 10 ms will not damage a concrete lined canal when the water is clear but velocities above 4 ms containing sand and gravel may scour the lining

The steeper the slope of the canal the smaller the sectional area required however the effective head is decreased The best combination of a canal size and a slope should be examined within a suitable range of flow velocity

The maximum velocity in a lined canal is normally smaller than 20 ms

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Cross Drain

If a power canal passes through valleys with catchment areas drain facilities that cross under or over the power canal should be provided to protect the canal structure from attack from running water with containing debris during rainfall Box culverts concrete pipes polyethylene pipes etc are used as under drains and open chutes as over drains Under drains need adequate flow area since they are likely to be clogged with debris soil etc A minimum inner space of 60 cm is preferable for manual cleaning

Slope steeper than 150 Size bigger than φ 60cm Enough flow area not to be clogged Maintenance for clogging

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Side Channel Spillway

A canal slope depending on the topographic conditions is generally as follows

1500 ~ 11000 to minimise the canal size in high head plant

11000 ~ 11500 general application 11500 ~ 12000 to minimise a head drawdown

in low head plant

Roughness coefficient ldquonrdquo is an empirical measure of surface roughness of a waterway The following values are usually applied

Steel 0012 ~ 0013 Concrete 0014 plusmn 0001 Stone-masonry 0016 ~ 0020

For unlined canals a trapezoid cross-section is the most common Side slopes of a canal are 10 (V)05 (H) for rock foundation and 10(V)20(H) for sandy loam foundation

For lined canals a rectangular or a trapezoid cross-section is commonly used for stone masonry lining and a rectangular section for concrete lining

A side channel spillway is generally provided at the de-silting basin and the head tank however it may be necessary to be designed in a suitable section of the power canal depending on the design conditions The outflow path needs to be protected against scouring

Water Surface Profile

The canal floor elevation at the downstream end (EL4 in the figure) is commonly fixed to provide a uniform flow depth for the maximum design discharge when the water level in the head tank or the regulating pond is at the Full Supply Water Level (FSWL) In this condition the flow depth in the canal is uniform over the whole stretch if the canal slope is uniform

A non-uniform flow analysis should be carried out in the full section of the waterway starting from the head tank or the regulating pond up to the intake varying parameters such as discharge roughness coefficient and the initial water level at the head tank The wall height of the canal is to be designed so that the energy line for the maximum inflow into the canal should be lower than the wall crest

Uniform flow depth in a canal can be calculated by Manningrsquos Formula Uniform flow analyses can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-1

Non-uniform flow analysis involves solving the following differential equation

Non-uniform flow analysis can be made by the computer programs attached in Appendix 2-2

Lining Types

The lining type of earth canal has the following characteristics (a) easy for construction and maintenance (b) low cost (c) not applicable to pervious and erosive foundation (c) velocity lt 03 ms (d) roughness coefficient n = 0014 on an average seepage loss = 10 (clay) ~ 80 (sand) x 10-6 m3sm2

The lining type of stone masonry canal has the following characteristics(a) easy for construction and maintenance (b) velocity lt15 ms (dry stone masonry) and velocity lt20 ms (wet stone masonry) (c) roughness coefficient n = 0032 (dry stone masonry) and roughness coefficient n = 0025 (wet stone masonry)

Cross Drain

If a power canal passes through valleys with catchment areas drain facilities that cross under or over the power canal should be provided to protect the canal structure from attack from running water with containing debris during rainfall Box culverts concrete pipes polyethylene pipes etc are used as under drains and open chutes as over drains Under drains need adequate flow area since they are likely to be clogged with debris soil etc A minimum inner space of 60 cm is preferable for manual cleaning

Slope steeper than 150 Size bigger than φ 60cm Enough flow area not to be clogged Maintenance for clogging

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Head Tank with Spillway

24 Head Tank

Site Selection

A head tank is provided between a power canal and a penstock pipe to adjust a turbine discharge corresponding to the load fluctuation while a surge tank is required when a pressure tunnel or conduit is applied as headrace When a penstock pipe is connected directly to a de-silting basin a de-silting basin may be designed to have functions of a head tank

The location of a head tank is selected generally to be on a ridge with firm foundations depending on the topographical and geological conditions

A spillway and a sand drain gate should be considered and incorporated into the head tank

When a spillway is provided (it may be omitted under some conditions) the route of the spillway should be properly designed so as to not cause sliding or erosion of the slope

Hydraulic Design

The capacity of the head tank is determined according to the responsive characteristics of the governors installed in the power plant

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Figure 251 Pondage Capacity

25 Regulating Pond

A regulating pond is provided for daily peak power generation of which the location is selected at a flat area to accommodate the required pond capacity which needs to be enough to meet a power demand especially during a dry season

The pondage capacity should be determined to allow supply with a supplementary discharge during a target operation period of time when the available discharge is insufficient for the power demand while reserving the available water during the rest of the day

The peak power operation can be made by monitoring the water level gauge to be equipped in the pondage Inflow discharges can be estimated by the following equations

The following is an example of inflow estimate

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Sand Flushing through the lsquoSaxophonersquo Suction Head

To utilise a head between the pondage and outlet without using other energy such as electricity or diesel

Sand flushing can be made under power generation therefore it is not necessary to stop power generation during a sand flushing operation

There is a experimental data reported that about 10 of the sand volume density can be flushed However it is noted that such a flushing percentage is subject to the nature of sediment deposit

It is reported that this metod is suitable to flush sediment in a pondage or a de-silting basin where sediment is light and particle size small Consequently simple and small-scale flushing facilities are needed for such a pondage or a de-silting basin

1) Power operation with 2-unit (320 kW Qout=065 m3s)

2) 2) Reading of water level in the pond by pressure gauge

3) 3) When fluctuation of water level during 10 hour is -035m and average water level is 687000m under 2-unit operation Qin = -035 x (687000 - 661000) x (687000 -586000) 3600 + 065 = 0395 m3s

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Types of Penstock are summarised as follows Table 261 Types and Features of Penstock

Type Features

Open type Most commonly applied to small hydro schemes Anchor blocks are provided at bend portions which should be founded

on firm foundations enough to support the blocks with penstock pipes against sliding over turning and bearing

Interval of each anchor block should be less than 100 m generally Saddle piers are provided at 6 m interval Maximum angle of pipe inclination should be 55deg Drainage and slope protection should be considered for the open

excavated areas Expansion joints just below the head tank and between each anchor Bitumen between pipes and anchorssaddles to avoid corrosion

Buried type Applicable to the following conditions (a) soft foundations not to support the anchor blocks (b) areas susceptible to attack of landslides or running water (c) gentle slopes to keep the stability of backfill materials

Steel pipes should be galvanised and double coated with either bitumen or high zinc content paint

Tunnel type Generally not applied in smallmini hydropower schemes Source JICA Study Team

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood

Site Selection

The location of the powerhouse should be selected taking into account the following conditions

(1) Access

Easy access is required for the operation and maintenance after completion

(2) Foundation

Rock foundations are preferable but a well consolidated foundation to support the equipment load of 5 tonm2 will be acceptable

(3) Safety against flooding and land sliding

The floor elevation of the powerhouse should be higher than the flood water level of the river downstream and the slopes surrounding the powerhouse should be stabilised if required

(4) Drainage

The drainage facilities around the powerhouse should be properly designed to protect the powerhouse from attack from of water rush flow from the slopes and inundation during heavy rain

Tail Water Level (TWL) at the powerhouse should be determined so that it will not be affected by the backwater from the river during a flood
