2. Calculate design discharge from the discharge of Q45% ,allowing the riparian
release(10% of long term mean monthly flow of the driest month).
Discharge taking Q45 = 8.33 m3/sec
From the Hydrograph, the driest month is May with Q =2.94m3/s
3.
Determine
Two units are selected each of 5MW due to following reasons:1. In dry season when there will be limited water discharge we can operate one unit thus
losses are minimized.
2. If we increase number of units more than two (i.e. 3 for example) space requirement will
increase by factor 1.5 and cost will increase because of more auxiliaries requirement.
3. Higher number of units means more maintenance and more losses so more running cost.
4. If one unit gets damaged or requires maintenance a part of power demand can be fulfilled
by another unit.
5. Maintenance: - The design discharge is available for 6 months and during dry season one
of the units can be maintained.

The plant factor also known as plant use factor or capacity ffactor
actor generally varies between 0.25
to 0.75 for hydro-electric plant.
7. TURBINE SELECTION CRITERIA
The type, geometry and dimensions of the turbine will be fundamentally conditioned by
following cases.
a. Net Head
The net head of the site provided to us is 142.5m.. From the table given below, we have
four choices namely, Fransis, Pelton, Michell-Banki
Banki and Turgo. So we go for next criterion for
the selection of turbine that is discharge.
8
Lab Report on Power Plant Design (63007-63012)
63012) KEC
b. Discharge
The rated flow and net head determines the set of turbine type applicable to the site.
Suitable turbines are those for which the given rated flow and net head plot within the
operational envelopes. It should be remembered that the envelopes vary from the operational
manufacturer. The ALSTOM Turbine selection chart is given below.
9
Lab Report on Power Plant Design (63007-63012) KEC
Moreover, the Francis turbine must be operated above 40% of the nominal load. So Pelton
turbine is selected for our project
d. Cavitation Problem
In turbine, only reaction turbines are subjected to cavitation. In reaction turbines the
cavitation may occour at the outlet of the runner or at the inlet of the draft tube where the
pressure is considerably reduced. Due to cavitation, the metal of the runner vanes, draft tubes is
gradually eaten away, which result in lowering the efficiency. There will not be any problem of
cavitation if we use impulse turbine i.e. Pelton turbine.
e. Specific Speed
The specific speed constitutes a reliable criterion for the selection of the turbine without
any doubt more precise then the conventional enveloping curves mentioned above. It is defined
as the speed through which the model runner turns with a head of 1m and a discharge Q such that
the generator power is 1KW and is given by:ns = n
/
10
Lab Report on Power Plant Design (63007-63012) KEC
In small hydro power schemes standard generators should be installed when possible, so in the
selection it must be borne that the turbine, either coupled directly or through a speed increaser
should reach the synchronous speed as shown in the table. Here in our design our turbine is
directly coupled with the synchronous generator. Following graph was used to determine specific
speed for Pelton turbine:-
From the graph, for Pelton turbine, at net head of 142.5m, specific speed;
ns =28 rpm,
P=5000KW
Therefore, Synchronizing speed, n= (28*142.51.25) / (5000)1/2 = 195 rpm

The following attachment consists of the single line diagram of the power plant showing all
the basic structure of it like generator, Generator Neutral Grounding Method, Generator Leads,
Medium Voltage Bus Bar, Generator Circuit Breakers, High Voltage Bus Bar, Transformer
Connection, Station Supply Connection, HV Switchyard.
GENERATOR :
Almost all the hydraulic turbine-driven generators used are synchronous alternating current
machines, which produce electrical energy by the transformation of the rotational mechanical
energy. The electrical and mechanical design of each generator must confirm to the electrical
requirements of the power distribution system to which it will be connected, and also to the
hydraulic requirements of its specific plant. The electrical characteristics of the generator depend
on the following factors:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

The generators used in our design are synchronous generator: 2 units of 5.88 MVA each,
11kv, 50 hz at power factor .85 and having 28 poles.

We preferred to select the resistance grounding method. Its value is selected such that the value
of Xcg >> Rn or Xcg/Rn>>1. We select the ratio equal to 1. So, Xcg = Rn So, Rn = 2756
If we take the transformer of ratio 11/3:0.24KV. then the ratio(n) = 26.461
13

Illustrative Example
Let us suppose we have selected the value of R =3.94 in secondary side.
If the used transformer is a dry type step down transformer i.e 11/0.24KV
Now Rp(resistance relative to primary side)
11000 2
=3.94*

= 8.276 K
GENERATOR LEADS :
Generator leads means the circuit between the generator terminals and the unit
transformer. The equipment selected depends upon the distance between the generator
and transformer , the capacity of the generator, types of generator breaker employed
,the economics of installation. There are three types of generator leads:
i) Non segregated
ii) Segregated
iii) Isolated

Both non segregates or segregates bus bar arrangement can be used for the rating up
to 4000A in medium voltage switchgear application (according to US army corps
manual) in consideration to fault we prefer segregated bus because it is less prone to
line to line faults then non segregated .Although the most reliable one is isolated-phase
bus bar it is expensive and complex connecting mechanism so we dont use it.
LOW VOLTAGE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM:
15
Lab Report on Power Plant Design (63007-63012) KEC
Low Voltage distribution system includes a 400v distribution system which is shown
above. It includes a 400v bus bar which receives power from both units and there is
also diesel generator for black start. This scheme consists of three full capacity
redundant power source. For example if unit one is out the Low Voltage Bus Bar gets
power from unit two and vice versa and if both units are out DG(Diesel Generator)
comes in operation for Black Start.
MEDIUM VOLTAGE BUS BAR (GENERATOR BUS )
It is a 11KV bus bar which receives power from both the unit and supplies to the low
voltage bus bar and local distribution via a 11/11KV isolation transformer.
HIGH VOLTAGE BUS BAR
High Voltage Bus scheme used in the plant is explained in the later part of the report on
the next lab report.
16
Lab Report on Power Plant Design (63007-63012) KEC
EXCITATION SYSTEM
The excitation system used in the plant is brushless DC excitation system since to avoid
the cost of regular maintenance of brush replacement and since our unit is small there
is no stability concern. It consists of dry type transformer. A solid state rectifier rotates
with the shaft converting the AC output from the generator into the DC which is the
supplied to the rotating field coils of the main generator without the need of brushes. It
consists of following components:
1. Dry type transformer
2. A solid state rectifier
3. An ac exciter
4. Rotating diode Circuit
The field of the exciter which is at stator, is fed by the DC output of rectifier and ac
output induced in the rotor if rectified by the rotating diode and fed to the main
generator field windings. The excitation is controlled by controlling the supply to the
stator field of exciter.

LAB-4
1. On the basis of previous power plant data (Lab II), determine the type of transmission
line circuit (i.e. single or double circuit) for power evacuation. Select the High Voltage
Bus Bar Scheme for your power plant on the basis of reliability, cost, simplicity in
operation and protection simplicity. Sketch the Single Line Diagram of the selected
High Voltage Bus Bar Scheme in AUTOCAD and explain its various modes of
operation.
We have,
Total capacity of the plant = 11.76MVA
PF =0.85
11KV/132KV system
Line Current = (11.76MVA)/ (0.85 * 3 *132KV) = 60.5 A
Line Conductor =Bear
Current carrying capacity (A) of a Bear conductor ; For a temperature rise of 40C =595A
For a temperature rise of 45C = 552 A
We choose double circuit transmission line so that half of the total current will flow through each
line. Though the use of the double line circuit increases the cost of the project but it becomes
more reliable than single circuit line and also its capacity to evacuate the power increases. It
becomes more reliable during repair and maintenance.
ix) Not convenient for Supervising Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) control.
x) High cost.
xi) Loss of supply of corresponding feeder during maintenance of that feeder.

Modes of Operation:
Let us suppose initially Bus-1 is charged.
In this case DS-3, DS-4, DS-6, DS-7 is operating whereas DS-5 is open.
Also Bus-2 is in dead condition during this time.
Now if there occurs any problem in bus bar 1 and needs to be maintained immediately then this
type of scheme helps to be more effective. Then at first DS-5 and DS-10 is switched on. Then
Bus coupler CB-5 is closed to make the two buses equipotential. Then after this DS-8, DS-9, DS11, DS-12 is switched on and correspondingly DS-3, DS-4, DS-6, DS-7 is switched off. This
brings bus-1 in dead condition which helps in maintaining it. Similar process occurs if any
problem occurs in bus-2.
2. Calculate the fault current (kA) and fault level (MVA) at medium voltage bus and high
voltage bus. Determine the breaking and making current capacity (interrupting
capacity) of all the circuit breakers used in the power plant that has been designed.
Tabulate the result and display it graphically as well. (Note: Making current is 2.5 times
the breaking current for Circuit Breakers)

Lab Report on Power Plant Design (63007-63012) KEC
From above graph XG = 0.24 pu (for base 5.88MVA, 132KV for High Voltage.)
Similarly, transformer impedance can be obtained from the below given table.
Since our system has the nominal voltage 132KV, from the above table XTr. = 9.6 %
We approximate
XTr = 9.6 %
= 0.096 pu (for base 5.88 MVA and 132KV)
