🌊 The 12 MW Jhimruk hydropower plant in Nepal faced sediment handling issues when it first began operating due to exposure to sediment abrasion being much higher than originally anticipated. The effects of sedimentation on hydropower facilities and operations can lead to a reduction in the efficiency and design life of turbines and other hydromechanical components. In 2003, Hydro Lab in Nepal launched a research project on optimum sediment handling strategies in run-of-river projects, featuring Jhimruk as its initial case. Measures researched to reduce the impacts of sedimentation included additional settling basins and improved operational plant rule. Changes in maintenance periods were also proposed to augment turbine efficiency. The Jhimruk hydropower project presents lessons learned on sedimentation management strategies and the need for ongoing strategies, research and monitoring programmes to ensure the lifetime of facilities' operations.

🚀 Powering the Past to Energize the Future! 50-Year-Old Units Generate 137MW Post Refurbishment at Mangla Hydel Plant 🌊⚡ Yesterday, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Mangla Hydel Power Plant for the capacity testing of Unit #5 and #6. What's truly remarkable is that these units, commissioned in 1974 with an installed capacity of 100MW each, have undergone enhancements to boost their capacity to an impressive 135MW each from the previous 100MW. The results were even more astounding, as the tested capacity reached around 137MW! 💡 *️⃣A bit about the Mangla Hydropower Station⚡ Situated in Pakistan, this hydroelectric facility has been undergoing a substantial refurbishment to increase its power generation capacity from 1GW to an impressive 1.3GW. The Mangla Dam, a monumental structure constructed in 1967, serves multiple purposes including irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. The refurbishment effort led by the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) of Pakistan is a visionary project aimed at enhancing efficiency, extending the station's lifespan, and increasing its power output from 1,000MW to 1,310MW. This ambitious initiative comes at an estimated cost of PKR 52.2bn ($423m). Since its commencement in 2018, the refurbishment process has been progressing steadily, with all ten units at the power plant expected to be revitalized by 2027. This strategic overhaul is anticipated to extend the power station's life by an impressive 50 years, while boosting its annual electricity generation capacity from five billion units to 6.5 billion units. The project unfolds in multiple phases, simultaneously refurbishing two of the ten generating units in each phase. As a part of this visionary project, each 100MW unit is undergoing a comprehensive transformation, leading to an incredible up to 35% increase in its generating capacity. The Mangla Dam itself is a marvel, spanning 3,140m in length and towering 147m in height. Covering a vast surface area of 251km², it boasts a substantial gross storage capacity of 10.8 billion cubic meters of water. It's truly inspiring to witness such incredible feats in the field of power generation, and I'm honored to have been a part of this journey towards a more sustainable and energy-rich future. Kudos to the entire team behind this! 🌊🏞️ #PoweringInnovation #HydropowerMilestone #SustainableEnergy

Sikkim tragedy resurface concerns related to mega hydropower projects in Bhutan: Report Recent glacier-lake outburst in #Sikkim & #Bengal, causing loss of lives & destruction of critical infrastructure, raises concerns about major developmental projects in the fragile #Himalayas.

Monthly Recap>< This month I want to share my excitement about learning to Studi Independen with AMATI Indonesia and GAWIREA So this month there are curriculum classes and project classes with different materials. The class curriculum includes: - Intelligent Systems in Renewable Energy Systems: A Comprehensive Review - Hydropower Plant: Study of the Planning and Optimization Phase of Hydropower Plants - Hydropower Plant: Flow Availability Analysis, Design Flood Analysis, Sedimentation Analysis, and Project Feasibility Analysis Meanwhile, project classes include: - Market and Problem Validation - Project Management Final Planner System In my opinion, during the month I gained a lot of new knowledge, such as intelligent systems based on optimization, knowing more about hydropower starting from the history of hydropower, hydropower schemes, advantages and disadvantages of hydropower and much more information about hydropower. One of my favorite classes this month was about Hydropower Plant Studies in the Planning and Optimization Stages of Hydropower Plant presented by Mr. Dhani Irwanto because this class not only focused on theory, but also provided the opportunity to apply knowledge in case studies and actual projects. we will learn how to harness the energy potential of water, design efficient hydropower plants, and optimize their operations to maximize output and minimize environmental impact. #MSIB #Batch6 #NetZeroHeroes #AmatiIndonsia

Trust Your Instinct (Promote Your Office to the Globe) I believe it is human nature to hold anyone we deem “a leader” to a higher standard of behavior. Once we know that people are in a leadership role, we expect more from them. We always have high expectations of our leaders—and so we should. As a result, when you take on a leadership role, you are signing up for something really important. You are being held to a higher standard of behavior and expectations. To me, this implies that there is a job responsibility when you take on a leadership role at any level. This JD demands that you be clear on what it means to be a leader; you must understand the expectations people have of you. It also demands that you commit to leading in a truly accountable manner. Would like to share the achievement that, we have successfully commissioned two solar projects of 10 MW each for Block 1 and Block 2 of Pure Energy (Solar PV Project) and connected to the Grid. It's us who have completed what we thought to achieve based on the project leadership! Our other projects ongoing works: 1. Upper Mugu Karnali Hydroelectric Project (306 MW) 2. Namlan Khola Hydroelectric Project (135 MW) 3. Lower Apsuwa Hydropower Project (54 MW) 4. Upper Balephi Hydropower Project (46 MW) Being one of the main contributors to all the projects from project planning to execution (contract drafting, preparation, review, finalization, contract performance monitoring, follow-up, to execution), it is our responsibility to promote our office to the globe for the better growth of the companies and better investment opportunities. Build a harmonious environment for a positive outcome, and positive results. hashtag #trustyourintuition hashtag #trustyourself hashtag #trustyourteam hashtag #trustedservice hashtag #trustyourinstincts
