The Shanan Hydropower Project is a high head run of river scheme located near Jogindernagar in Himachal Pradesh. The project involved renovation and uprating of 4 existing generating units and addition of 1 new unit, increasing total installed capacity to 110 MW.
The scheme comprises a diversion weir across the Uhl river, intake structures, intake channel, desilting chambers, diurnal reservoir, power tunnel, powerhouse and tailrace system discharging into a downstream canal.
TCE’s scope
TCE provided comprehensive engineering and implementation support for the renovation and extension of the Shanan Hydropower Project. The scope began with preliminary studies and progressed through detailed design and engineering for both refurbishment and capacity expansion works.
For the renovation component, TCE was responsible for design and engineering of modifications to the hydraulic system, including associated civil and hydro mechanical works. The scope also covered procurement and construction supervision for the remodelling works, which included installation of new water wheels and rewinding of existing generators to uprate unit capacity.
For the extension works, TCE carried out design, engineering and procurement support for installation of a new 50 MW generating unit. This included engineering of the new powerhouse, penstock, shaft, tailrace system, hydraulic structures and barrage. TCE supported execution through construction supervision and integration of the new unit with the existing station infrastructure.
Impact
Operating under a gross head of 547.2 m, the project enhanced generation efficiency and long term reliability of a strategic Himalayan hydropower station. The renovation extended asset life while increasing installed capacity.
