    Uploaded by

    Nazakat Hussain
    This document covers several topics related to hydroelectric power project design and development including: dam design considerations such as hydrology, geology, and structural design of earth-fill, rock-fill, gravity, arch, and buttress dams; design of spillways, outlet works, and hydropower components; planning and development stages; and economic considerations for project layout and sizing. Key elements addressed are dam foundation investigations, reservoir sedimentation analysis, structural stability analysis, layout of waterways, turbines, the powerhouse, and electro-mechanical equipment. Project development stages and optimization of costs and plant sizing are also discussed.
