2. Introduction
Present globalised and consumerised
world need sustainable development
mechanism for the better tomorrow, without
sustainable development we can`t stand here.
Every part of the life need sustainability. For
the energy sustainability SHPs are the good
and viable option for better tomorrow. This
Small Hydro Projects can make a big
difference in many lives

3. Energy…
Energy plays a pervasive and
critically important role in the
socio-economy and development
of a country.
• The Sun provides energy that can be
captured in the form of solar power,
wind power and hydro-power.
• However, there is a need for more R&D for
development of efficient technologies, and the public
awareness of the use of renewable energy resources.

4. Energy policy of India
• Today, India has one of the highest potentials
for the effective use of renewable energy. India
is the world’s fifth largest producer of wind
power after Denmark, Germany, Spain, and the
USA.
• The country has an estimated small-hydro
power potential of about 15000 MW.

5. Now our installed capacity is about
1,45000MW. According to the 11th plan we have
to increase our energy capacity to 22,0000MW.
By 2010. But current situation shows we are no
where near the target. If the situation continuous
we will not become developed nation…

6. How we can achieve this?
1.Bio-Fuels
2.Wind power
3.Oil
4.Nuclear power
5.Solar Energy…

7. Here we can see the importance of

8. What is a DAM…?
Water is the vital
resource to support
all forms of life on the earth. Throughout the
history of the world, dams and reservoirs have
been used successfully in collecting ,
storing and managing water
needed to sustain civilization.

9. Is it DAM is harmful to human and
environment ?
While dams provide benefits to our society, their impacts on the surrounding
also to be address…
· Resettlement and relocation
· Socioeconomic impacts
· Environmental concerns
· Sedimentation issues
· Safety aspects
However, these concerns and impacts can be reduced or eliminated by
careful planning, and the incorporation of a variety of mitigation
measures.

10. Significant issues…!
There are three interconnected specific issues
that have had particular significance in dam
projects, and which need to be dealt with
differently in future developments. They are
resettlement of displaced people and related
socio-economic issues; changes
to existing fisheries and local resource uses;
and effects on ecosystems.

11. • To ensure the continued and dependable
delivery of benefits from a dam, the owner
must have a comprehensive plan for
operation, maintenance and rehabilitation. As
dams become older, safe performance
becomes a concern. This requires more
attention in the form of
inspections, evaluations, modifications and
upgrading
of the older dams so they meet current
technology, statutes and regulations

12. Dam safety activities include monitoring structural
performance, developing emergency action
plans, training of dam operators, exercises involving
the local officials and population and implementing
risk reduction actions.
Learning the lessons from
previous dam projects is
mandatory before similar
new initiatives are
undertaken…

13. ‘DAM and development…”
Our vision and mission
• Vision
The development and management of water and energy
resources address the full range of options and are attained
through institutionalized participatory and transparent
decision-making processes to achieve sustainable outcomes
that benefit all.
• Mission
Promote improved decision-making, planning and
management of dams and their alternatives ,core values and
strategic priorities and other relevant reference materials
through promoting multi stakeholder dialogue at
national, regional and global levels and producing non-
prescriptive tools to help decision-makers.

14. Why DAMs are important ?
• To generate electricity for domestic and industrial
uses, and/or for export to obtain income from
foreign sources.
• To store water for irrigation of farmland to
improve crop yields and increase the security of
food supply.
• To hold back water during times of high river
flow to prevent flooding downstream and for
release during low-flow periods.

15. Importance…
• Rural electrification and development Job
creation during dam construction and in
subsequent industrial and community
development
• Expansion of social services and improved
infrastructure in the region served by the
dam, for example schools,
hospitals, roads
• Fishing
• Recreational potential of
reservoirs.

16. • Large hydroelectric dams are among the most
controversial of all types of development
projects. They have been the focus of much
criticism of the World Bank and other
international financing agencies.
• 500–megawatt Pehuenche Hydroelectric Project in Chile
flooded only about 400 hectares of land.
By contrast, the Brokopondo Dam in Suriname inundated
about 160,000 hectares of biologically valuable tropical
rainforest and is known for serious water quality and aquatic
weed problems, while providing relatively little electric
generating capacity (only 30 MW).

17. SOLUTIONS…
• Early in a project, at the
concept stage, before site
selection or engineering
plans have been determined, governments, dam
proponents, and planners need to actively involve all
constituents whose lives and rights may be
significantly affected by the proposed dam
development.
• Stakeholders who may bear the risks of a
development are entitled to be consulted on whether
and how the project should proceed.

18. SOLUTIONS…
• In this way, ideas that
are flawed can be
eliminated before
commitments are made,
and the best option can be
negotiated with justice and fairness for those
who will bear many of the risks and costs.
• Learning the lessons from previous dam
projects is mandatory before similar new
initiatives are undertaken.

19. Sustainable Development…!
.

20. • India`s sustainable work towards reducing
greenhouse gases will ensure that the
country`s per capita emission GHGs will
continue to be low until 2030-31 and it is
estimated that the per capita emission in
2031st will be lower than per capital global
emission of GHG in 2005.

21. Sustainable development in India
encompasses a variety of development
schemes in social, cleantech an human
resource segment.
The global trend towards sustainable
development thrust upon cleantech-clean
energy ,clean water and sustainable
agriculture. Which we can achieve through
SHP project especially in Indian context.

22. The hope of future
SHP is the development of hydroelectric power on the scale
serving a small community or industry with less coast and
minimum impact.
The definition of SHP varies but generating capacity is up to
10MW-30MW.
The small hydro can be sub divided in to mini hydro and micro
hydro
Mini -1000KW
Micro-100KW

23. Benefits from Hydropower
• Hydro power is a clean, domestic and
renewable source of energy.
• It does not produce greenhouse gases or other air pollution.
• Hydropower leaves no waste.
• One time capitalization is required for set up of a Hydro
Power station.
• Like other fuel energy like fossil fuel, Water is not destroyed
during the production of electricity – it can be reused for
other purposes.

24. India`s Hydropower Potential

25. Cost factor in Hydropower

26. Hydro power is the largest renewable energy
source being used for the generation of
electricity. In India, hydro power projects with a
sustain capacity of up to 25MW each fall under
the category of Small Hydro Power(SHP)
India has estimated SHP potential of about
15,000MW, of which about 11% has been tapped
so far. The aim is to install 2% additional power
generation capacity from SHP during the 11th
plan periods.

27. Classifications
Classifications of Micro, Mini & SHP in India
• Upto 100KW – Micro Hydro Power
• 101Kw to 2000Kw – Mini Hydro Power
• 2001Kw to 25000Kw – Small Hydro Power

28. SHP Potential of India
• Potential - 15,000MW.
• Identified Potential - 11,356MW (4554 sites).
• Installed Capacity - 1975MW (602 projects).
• Under Implementation - 649MW (219 projects)

31. •The Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES)
supports
•SHP project development throughout the country. So
far, 523 SHP projects with an aggregate installed capacity
of 1705 MW have been installed. Besides these, 205 SHP
projects with an aggregate capacity of 479 MW are under
implementation.
•With a capacity addition, on an average, of 100 MW per
year and gradual decrease in gestation periods and capital
costs, the SHP sector is becoming increasingly competitive
with other alternatives.

32. • Fifteen states have announced policies to attract
private sector entrepreneurs to set up SHP projects.
The state electricity regulatory commissions are now
determining tariffs by taking into account the
submissions of all stakeholders including the
developers and the MNES.
• For commercial projects, these states have offered sites
with a total potential of over2300 MW.
• A number of leading financial institutions and banks –
including Indian Renewable Energy Development
Agency (IREDA), Power Finance Corporation, Rural
Electrification Corporation, IDBI,IL&FC, and commercial
banks – have started financing SHP projects.

33. Recent trends
• More emphasis on Irrigation canal based small
hydro projects (Orissa, A.P)
• Investment seen from private sector in grid
connected run off river projects
( Uttaranchal, H.P)
• More no of stand alone systems for rural
electrification being implemented

34. Recent trends…
• Improvements in Turbine designs for all small
hydro technologies
• Packaged plant developments

35. • Design of Pico turbines (500W range)
• Design of battery chargers from small hydro power
• Increase in efficiency Electronic Load Controller for
micro hydro
• Cost reductions in E&M
• Usage of composites for components
• Use of COANDA system to improve overall small hydro
system efficiency

36. Hydropower is the leading source of
renewable energy. It provides more than 97%
of all electricity generated by renewable
sources. Other sources including
solar, geothermal, wind and biomass account
for less than 3% of renewable electricity
production.

37. It is the time to re-think how to manage freshwater
resources is one of the greatest challenges facing
the world in the new century. Shape the future
projects to the sustainable development

38. Dams are one of the greatest inventions of
mankind. It won't be wrong to say that many
of the countries' economies and sustainability
depends on the dams in those countries.
Dams are very important as they not only are
a source of water but also save people from
flooding and the most important thing is that
they provide us with a very cheap source of
producing energy…

40. When 85 millions of electricity consumers switch
off a 60 watts bulb in peak load time , then we can
save 360 mega watts of electricity. if a 450 mega
watts of electricity is produced then only consumer
get 350 mega watts electricity , cost of production
of 1 mega electric watts is nearly in 8 Crore Indian
rupees . So if you switch of one bulb in peak time
you can save a 3600 Crore rupees
