Pushpa Chitrakar: GUIDELINES/STANDARDS *15 years as the economic life span of the project. *Q design = Minimum of Q available - environmental release (~10%)- conveyance losses(~5%) 85% of Q available *Minimum probability of exceedence of Q available at river should be 11months. *At least one spot Q measurement in dry season for all projects. *Q monthly flow using MIP with interpolations. Alternatively, Hydest method may be used if the catchment area is relatively larger (=> 100 square km). *Q flood flow of 20 year return period using Hydest if Qd>100 lps . *Qmeasurement preferable during November to May or else it has to be verified later. *Q measurement methods Bucket collection < Weir >Salt dilution 10lps < Q >30lps +- 10% tolerance on Qd at power verification* Pushpa Chitrakar: BLUE cells are mandatory inputs Pushpa Chitrakar: Q measurement methods Bucket collection < Weir >Salt dilution 10lps < Q >30lps Pushpa Chitrakar: A3000 should be zero if the flood calculation is not needed. Pushpa Chitrakar: Q available = Qdesign + 10% environmental release/weir losses +5% conveyance losses. Pushpa Chitrakar: The design discharge for structures from penstock inlet to tailrace (penstock, turbine, tailrace, valves). This discharge should be =< 85% of Q available durig 11 months. Pushpa Chitrakar: MGSP requires that Q turbine =< 85% of Q11 Pushpa Chitrakar: The design discharge for structures from intake to forebay (intake, headrace, gravel trap, settling basin). Pushpa Chitrakar: The discharge that should be available in the river. This discharge is also used for Q exceedence calculations.
