Tata Power, India’s largest integrated power company has successfully commissioned a 10kW micro-hydro project. The low-head, micro-hydro turbine installed in the tailrace of the 150MW Bhira hydro power station in Maharashtra utilizes the existing flow rate available to generate sufficiently clean energy to manage its auxiliary loads. The micro unit was successfully synchronized to the grid.
The 150MW hydro station was started at Bhira about 90 years ago. The successful installation and commissioning of the 10kW, micro-hydro turbine is a new breakthrough for the Bhira project. The micro turbine is connected to the 415V auxiliary network.
Besides, the invertors and other associated equipment required for synchronizing the unit to the auxiliary grid was jointly developed by the Clean Technology Group and Tata Power engineers. Tata Power will now be in a position to add this facility at additional locations.
