SJVNL A PROFILE
SJVN Limited, A Mini Ratna & Schedule 'A' PSU under the
Ministry Of Power, Govt. Of India, Is A Joint Venture Between
The Govt. of India & Govt. Of Himachal Pradesh.
Incorporated In The Year 1988, The Company Is Fast
Emerging As A Major Power Player In The Country. The
Present Authorized Capital Of Sjvn Is INR 7000 Crores.
Sjvn Is Successfully Operating the Countrys Largest 1500
Mw Nathpa Jhakri Hydropower Station and Is Setting New
Benchmarks in Generation and Maintenance Year After Year,
After Having Tackled the Silt Erosion Problems in UnderWater Turbine Parts
Beginning From A Single Hydropower Project Company, Sjvn
Today Has A Footprint In A Diversified Set Of Power Projects,
Which Includes Hydroelectric Projects In Himachal Pradesh,
Uttrakhand, Arunachal Pradesh And In The Neighboring
Countries Of Nepal And Bhutan.
The Flagship 1500 Mw Nathpa-Jhakri Hydro Electric Power
Station In Himachal Pradesh Was Commissioned In 2003-04.

PROJECT COMPONENTS
1) Diversion Dam
The diversion dam is envisaged to be a concrete
gravity dam of about 70m in height with its top level at
El 849m, FRL at El 845m and MDDL at El 835m.The dam
is provided with 6 sluice radial gates each of 9m 14m
with one auxiliary spillway gate to surpass design
discharge of 15710m3/sec (PMF of 8880 cumecs plus
GLOF of 6830 cumecs).
5) Pressure Shaft
Two vertical steel lined underground pressure
shafts, each of 5.5m dia with bifurcation into four
of diameter 3.2m to feed the four Francis turbine
of 225MW each.
8) Transmission System
9) Project Benefits
The annual energy from the project has been assessed as 4018.87 GWh
on 90% dependable basis and design energy as 3924.03 GWh. The
project would provide peaking benefits of 900 MW round the year.
The Project is estimated to cost Rs. 44168.2 million are as under:Cost of Generation at July, 2013 Price Level

HYDROLOGY
Objective
To access the water availability of the proposed
project so as to carryout simulation studies for
estimation of power potential.
To determine the probable maximum floods
corresponding to different probabilities so as to
ensure safe passage of food as well as GLOF.
Assessment of sediment inflow into the reservoir
To determine diversion flood for construction
planning
Assessment of sediment inflow into the reservoir
and estimation of sediment load.
POWER POTENTIAL
The study represents the assessment of power
potential and estimation of energy generation of
the Arun-3 H.E. project. The power potential of the
project is based on available head and
discharge(Q) value.
The basic equation of hydropower is
Power, P= 9.81QH (kW)
Where Q= discharge in m3 /sec
H = head in m
Project Parameters
CONCLUSION
The design energy of 3924.03 GWh with 95%
availability of installed capacity in 90%
dependable year shall be considered for
financial evaluation.
Annual energy generation in 90% dependable
year has been computed for energy generation of
900MW (4 225 MW).
Hence the project is feasible as per the annual
energy generation criteria and should be
implemented .
