Kadamparai Dam tunnel

Kadamparai Dam

Kadamparai Dam and downhill - Valparai!

By 9 in morning we stared to climb down the valparai hills after taking some pictures with our relatives whom accommodate us throughout the stay and some kind of love, to greet us again. I havent ever fascinate with such colorful flowers treated my eyes and sense this much like those in the garden home we stayed. Its bitter to know the group took control the home next day plucked all the flowers that bloomed and smiled at me to reflect. The flower pictures I shared here are those taken at the garden. With half a mind, I left the place saying bye to twitter sweet birds that welcomes

morning, the blowing wind in fragrance of tea and the warm gave sunshine. Sign by boards, I peer along the way around the trees where lion tail monkeys are yet to leap. At last with little disappointment we found the elephants near Shivaji estate belong to late actor Shivaji Ganeshan, and where a couple roaming far away the hill and later to have a group of elephants below the valley and inside the shrubs.

After having cuppa in the waterfalls estate the last tea garden within valparai before climbing down, we turned right near the 20th hairpin bend that head to Kadamparai

Dam. The dam was within a distance of 15/20km, and the road lead between teak forest and Tiger valley. We were stopped by a check post and after hardly convincing the old lady, who was in charge, the block was opened and we passed the upper Aliyar and reached the Kadamparai Power house gateway. This was a power house situated at an invisible site inside the hills! It was a 6km tunnel carved in a single rock, with a passage of two Lorries to come and go! Awe it was interesting to know the main process of this Power house is to recycle the dam water and generate Hydro Electric power. The very special about this was the recycling process. Throughout day the water from Kadamparai dam is open to generate electricity and throughout night, half the current stored are spend to recycle the water from Upper Aliyar to Kadamparai dam. It was like up to down and down to up.

It was highly restricted and very special permission is needed to go inside the tunnel. Those who have went and came, and who recommend us to visit sounds awesome about the silence and fearful noise, to experience never before and to a multi theater effect. As we had some other plan, we couldnt visit the Kadamparai dam, which was few km above from the power house gateway. As I have lost the pictures I was covering while climbing up valparai hills, I wish to recapture those scenes and stopped at few places, where the one was Lomes view. From here one get a wonderful

view of Aliyar Dam and the zigzag dreadful hairpin bends, and from here above the hill were the only place in valparai I saw the Nilgiri Thar. These are some goats, rarely seen on Western Ghats at the least existence. There are few waterfalls on the way, the water that arrives from Parambikulam dam in Kerala. One of the falls was such forceful and drizzle on the road, the other with little showers left the children to enjoy. If you remember the Sholayar dams, the water that runs through Kerala and into Parambikulam dam is diverted again into Tamil Nadu and what rushes here as falls. This water is also diverted to Thirumoorthi and Amaravathi Dams. It was a sunny day and as per our plan we head to Thirumoorthi Dam and falls, about 35km from the foot hills. After having lunch at a small town Tali, and leaving my parents and other to let shower, we spent sometime near the dam banks where lot of people where cooking and taking boat ride on the dam. The place near the falls are much

crowded like a village festival and many busses and cab vehicles enter and exit continually wanted me to get away as soon. By evening we visited the Amaravathi Dam! That could be a separate post soon

Francis Hydro Turbine

There is abundance of Hydro power potential in India. As CEA only 37328.40 MW has been harnessed so far. The percentage of Hydro Power capacity in overall energy proportion is merely 24.7%. As per Sushil Shinde, Minister of power, Government of India, hydro proportion compare to other sources of energy is not going to change in near future. While government is aiming a large capacity addition during 11th and 12th five year plan. Development of hydro power resources is important for energy security of the country. It takes about 10 years for

developing a large size hydro project from planning to commissioning. The construction period of a large hydro project after placement of Letter of Award for the main packages could span 5 years or more. It is therefore necessary to prepare a long term plan of hydropower development covering at least 10 years period. Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has, therefore, prepared Hydro Development Plan for 12th Plan (2012-07) covering planning of hydro power projects during 11th & 12th Plan period. As per the programme approved by the Planning Commission, during the 11th Plan period a capacity addition of 78,700 MW comprising 59,693 MW thermal, 15,627 MW hydro and 3,380 MW nuclear projects has been proposed. Out of 15,627 MW from hydro projects, 8,654 MW has been proposed in Central Sector, 3,482 MW in State Sector and 3,491 MW in Private Sector. At present by 30.09.2010 (sources: cea.nic.in) the total number of large hydro power station in India is 173 (capacity

above 25 MW). List of all hydro power station in India is various capacity is as following: LIST OF HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER STATIONS IN INDIAWITH STATION CAPACITY ABOVE 25 MW

Pumped storage hydroelectricity is a method of storing and producing electricity

to supply high peak demands by moving water between reservoirs at different elevations. At times of low electrical demand, excess generation capacity is used to pump water into the higher reservoir. When there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine, generating electricity. Reversible turbine/generator assemblies act as pump and turbine (usually a Francis turbine design). Some facilities use abandoned mines as the lower reservoir, but many use the height difference between two natural bodies of water or artificial reservoirs. Pure pumped-storage plants just shift the water between reservoirs, but combined pumpstorage plants also generate their own electricity like conventional hydroelectric plants through natural stream-flow. Plants that do not use pumped-storage are referred to as conventional hydroelectric plants; conventional hydroelectric plants that have significant storage capacity may be able to play a similar role in the

electrical grid as pumped storage, by deferring output until needed. Taking into account evaporation losses from the exposed water surface and conversion losses, approximately 70% to 85% of the electrical energy used to pump the water into the elevated reservoir can be regained. The technique is currently the most cost-effective means of storing large amounts of electrical energy on an operating basis, but capital costs and the presence of appropriate geography are critical decision factors. The relatively low energy density of pumped storage systems requires either a very large body of water or a large variation in height. For example, 1000 kilograms of water (1 cubic meter) at the top of a 100 meter tower has a potential energy of about 0.272 kWh. The only way to store a significant amount of energy is by having a large body of water located on a hill relatively near, but as high as possible above, a second body of water. In some

places this occurs naturally, in others one or both bodies of water have been man-made. This system may be economical because it flattens out load variations on the power grid, permitting thermal power stations such as coal-fired plants and nuclear power plants that provide base-load electricity to continue operating at peak efficiency (Base load power plants), while reducing the need for "peaking" power plants that use costly fuels. Capital costs for purpose-built hydrostorage are high, however. Along with energy management, pumped storage systems help control electrical network frequency and provide reserve generation. Thermal plants are much less able to respond to sudden changes in electrical demand, potentially causing frequency and voltage instability. Pumped storage plants, like other hydroelectric plants, can respond to load changes within seconds.

The upper reservoir (Llyn Stwlan) and dam of the Ffestiniog Pumped Storage Scheme in north Wales. The lower power station has four water turbines which generate 360 MW of electricity within 60 seconds of the need arising. The size of the dam can be judged from the car parked below. The first use of pumped storage was in the 1890s in Italy and Switzerland. In the 1930s reversible hydroelectric turbines became available. These turbines could operate as both turbine-generators and in reverse as electric motor driven pumps. The latest in large-scale engineering technology are variable speed machines for greater efficiency. These machines generate in synchronisation with the network frequency, but operate asynchronously

(independent of the network frequency) as motor-pumps. A new use for pumped storage is to level the fluctuating output of intermittent power sources. The pumped storage absorbs load at times of high output and low demand, while providing additional peak capacity. In certain jurisdictions, electricity prices may be close to zero or occasionally negative (Ontario in early September, 2006), indicating there is more generation than load available to absorb it; although at present this is rarely due to wind alone, increased wind generation may increase the likelihood of such occurrences. It is particularly likely that pumped storage will become especially important as a balance for very large scale photovoltaic generation. [1] In 2000 the United States had 19.5 GW of pumped storage capacity, accounting for 2.5% of baseload generating capacity. PHS generated (net) -5.5 GWh of energy[2] because more energy is consumed in pumping than is generated; losses occur

due to water evaporation, electric turbine/pump efficiency, and friction. In 1999 the EU had 32 GW capacity of pumped storage out of a total of 188 GW of hydropower and representing 5.5% of total electrical capacity in the EU. The use of underground reservoirs as lower dams has been investigated. Salt mines could be used, although ongoing and unwanted dissolution of salt could be a problem. If they prove affordable, underground systems could greatly expand the number of pumped storage sites. Saturated brine is about 20% more dense than fresh water. A new concept in pumped storage is to utilise wind turbines to drive water pumps directly, in effect an 'Energy Storing Wind Dam'. This could provide a more efficient process and usefully smooth out the variabilities of energy captured from the wind.
