Karcham Wangtoo - A Himalayan Megastructure Nat Geo Documentary



2014/02/26 に公開
Surrounded by jagged peaks, prone to sub-zero winters & accessible only by steep mountain roads, a strong crew of 14,500 brave the mighty Himalayas to create an approximately $1.5 billion state-of-the-art 1000MW hydropower project in a record time of a little over 5 years -- The largest hydropower station ever to be constructed by an Indian private company -- This is a documentary on the making of the Karcham Wangtoo Hydel Power Project.

Karcham Wangtoo Hydroelectric Plant

The Karcham Wangtoo Hydroelectric Plant is a 1,000 megawatts (1,300,000 hp)[2] run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station on the Sutlej River in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, India. The dam and power station are located between the villages of Karcham and Wangtoo where the plant also gains its name. Jaypee Karcham Hydro Corporation Limited of Jaypee Group signed a memorandum of understanding to develop the dam in 1993 and after years of delays, construction on the power station began on 18 November 2005.[3] The first generator was commissioned in May 2011, the second in June and the final two in September.[4] The 98 m (322 ft) tall dam at Karcham (

At the station, the water powers four 250 MW Francis turbine-generators before it is sent back into the Sutlej via a 1.2 km (0.75 mi) long tailrace tunnel. The difference in elevation between the dam and the power station affords a gross hydraulic head of 298 m (978 ft). Water not diverted by the dam is sent over the spillway and down the normal course of the river. The main spillway is along the crest of the dam and is controlled by six radial gates.[5] Just upstream of the dam is the 300 MW Baspa II Hydroelectric Plant and downstream of the Karcham Wangtoo is the 1,500 MW Nathpa Jhakri Dam.[3]

JSW buys 300-MW Baspa II, 1,091-MW Karcham Wangtoo hydroelectric plants in India for US$1.8 billion automation system and related balance of plant equipment. Voith Hydro was the leader of the consortium which delivered the entire E & M scope of the project.

Karcham Wangtoo



JSW Energy Ltd. (JSW) and Jaiprakash Power Ventures Ltd. (JPVL) executed an acquisition deal worth about US$1.8 billion for two of three power-generating facilities listed on a Sept. 24, binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The 100% acquisition of two plants was executed in Mumbai, in the district of Maharashtra, India, on Nov. 15.
 
JSW purchased two facilities located in Himachal Pradesh, in the upper northwest region that borders Indian states Jammu and Kashmir on the north, Punjab on the west, Haryana and Uttarakhand to the south and the country of China to the east. The properties include 300-MW Baspa II Hydro Electric Plant and 1,091-MW Karcham Wangtoo Hydro Electric Plant.

Karcham Wangtoo continues to produce power since coming online in 2011, as does Baspa II, which was commissioned in 2003. Karcham Wangtoo and Baspa II have an estimated life of more than 29 and 37 years respectively and are extendable to 20 more years, according to published reports.
The two hydro plants will be operated under Himachal Baspa Power Co. Ltd. (HBPCL) as a going concern through a scheme of arrangement “subject to mutually agreed adjustments, and the closing is subject fulfillment of conditions precedent by the parties,” according to JSW.

The 500-MW Bina Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh is the remaining project listed on the MoU, but there is no readily available information on its purchase status.

Based in Mumbai on the central east coast of India, JSW is part of the JSW Group. The group is controlled by O.P. Jindal Group out of Haryana, about 500 miles away in north India. O.P. Jindal Group is a global conglomerate worth US$18 billion, according to the company.

Prior to purchasing the two hydro plants, JSW acquired its only hydro project in July 2007 through a competitive bidding process. The company is developing a 240-MW run-of-river hydroelectric project at Kutehr on the upper reaches of the Ravi River in Himachal Pradesh, according to published reports.

The bulk of JSW holdings are in thermal power projects.

JSW said it has an existing operational capacity of 3,140 MW from thermal power and gained 1,391 MW of hydroelectric power from the HBPCL agreement. The combined total will bring its energy portfolio to 4,531 MW. Published reports indicate JSW has projects worth 8,630 MW under implementation and in the development phase throughout several states in India.

The Nov. 15 acquisition allows JSW to advance in achieving its goal of owning plants that have a total of 12,000 MW of power generation capacity by 2025, according to the company.
