ACCESS ROADS
Very expensive in mountainous terrain.
Require ample construction time.
A site with 600m of head, will require at
least 10km of road to reach intake from
powerhouse at average grade of 6%.

INTAKE
Close trashrack spacing required.
Bar spacing is wider with Pelton units.
Francis and Turgo units require more
narrow bar spacing.
Clogging with twigs and leafs likely.
Where floating debris a problem, consider
using a gathering tube intake design.

CONDUIT OPTIMIZATION
Conduit from intake to powerhouse usually
most expensive project component.
For pre-feasibility sizing use 4% to 6% head loss in energy plants.
6% to 8% head loss in peaking plants.
Head loss/m in penstock = 2 x head loss/m
in conduit upstream of penstock.

PEAKING STORAGE
Consider using nearby gully.
For tunnels, tunnel itself and side chambers
are an alternative.
For a headpond, divide in two, with small
pond at intake, connected to large pond
through one-way flap gate in an overflow
weir between ponds.

SURGE TANK
Required in isolated developments and
where Francis unit in powerplant.
No surge tank = long governor times.
Program for surge tank sizing included in

PENSTOCK
Preference for a buried hyperstatic (normal)
design, with shut-off valve at upper end.
Isostatic design has every
second bend free ----------->
- difficult to design.
- no cost saving.
- governing condition = earthquake +
waterhammer + bend miter (with stress

intensification) stresses at junction.

POWERHOUSE
Preference for surface powerplants.
Tailrace to discharge directly into conduit
for next downsteam powerplant.
Locate about 100m. downstream of
penstock cut, to avoid damage from - water on penstock rupture.
- boulders and debris rolling down
penstock excavation.

EQUIPMENT
Preference for horizontal axis units due to
easier access to turbine runner.
Preference for impulse units due to very flat
efficiency curve.

Peaking storage - in tunnel? In chambers?
Surge tank - required for Francis unit and
for isolated developments.
Penstock - buried pipe preferred.
Powerhouse - locate downstream of
penstock cut.
