Hydropower Tutorial-1(Chapter 1 & 2) Submission Date: 1StJune 2021

1) Write the status of hydropower development in Nepal and world scenario of hydropower development in the
light of energy consumption pattern.
2) Describe about the private sector involvement in hydropower development sector of Nepal.
3) Describe about the different energy sources (renewable and non-renewable energy, Commercial and non-
commercial energy and conventional and non-conventional energy sources. Distinguish between the thermal
and hydropower.
4) Describe the different stages of hydropower project studies. Draw a typical layout of a high head runoff river
scheme and storage scheme.
5) Describe the different types of hydropower plants. State the major difference between the run of the river
hydropower project and the storage type of the hydropower project.
6) Sketch a typical layout of a high head diversion and storage scheme. Explain briefly the importance of peaking
run of power plant over pure run of the river plant.
7) Sketch clearly the components of run of the hydro plant for the case of pressurized and non-pressurized
headrace channel. What do you understand by pump storage hydropower plant?
8) List out the principle feature of major sources of electric power generation. Write the major advantage of
hydropower over other sources of energy in Nepalese context.
9) Explain with the neat sketch (Plan and section),principle characteristics of the run off river hydropower plant
illustrating all the components
10) Write the working principle of the Pump storage hydropower plant. Explain its importance and viability in the
power system.
11) Briefly describe the major sources of electric power generation high light the major merits of the hydropower
over other sources in Nepalese context.
12) High light the major studies and the investigation carried out during the reconnaissance, pre-feasibility and
feasibility study.
13) Justify with fact and figures the statement regarding hydro power development in Nepal highest potential and
lowest consumption. Why storage project is preferable than RoR plant.
14) What are the planning parameters and data required for hydropower project? Discuss the hydropower
development cycle with flowchart.
15) What approach should be taken for hydropower development in Nepal to meet the demand rates up to 2020.
16) Explain the specific hydrological, geological, and topographic investigation required during the feasibility stage
of the hydropower development.
17) Differentiate between the pre-feasibility and feasibility studies of the hydropower project with site specific
hydrological and topographical investigations.
18) Discuss about the objective and the strategies of the hydropower development policy -2001.
List out the various hydropower development institutions in Nepal.
19) What are the different stages of the hydropower development? Explain the working principle of the RoR plant
showing the entire component in neat sketch.
20) Discuss about the advantage and disadvantage of hydropower plant comparing with other sources .
21) What is the daily peaking hydropower plant? Draw the neat sketch showing all the component of such plant.
22) What are the major opportunities and the challenges in hydropower development sector of the Nepal? You are
planning to develop 300 MW reservoir type hydropower project in a river basin of Nepal. Briefly mention the
steps you will follow from planning to commission of the project.
23) Describe the different type of the hydropower plant based on hydraulic characteristics. Describe about the
necessary amendment in current hydropower policy 2001 of the Nepal to improve the current hydropower
development scenario. By: Assistant Prof. Kaushal Chandra GC,WRC)
