MUMBAI: Private utility Tata Power today said it has commissioned the 10 kW micro hydro project at Bhira village in the state.
"The low-head micro-hydro turbine, installed in the tailrace of the 150 MW Bhira hydro power station in Maharashtra, utilises the existing flow rate available to generate supplementary clean energy to manage its auxiliary loads. The micro unit was successfully synchronised to the grid," a company statement said.
"The successful installation and commissioning of the micro hydro turbine is a significant milestone for the Bhira project. We are happy with this breakthrough," Tata Power Head, Hydros, Mahesh Paranjpe said.
The micro turbine is connected to the 415 V auxiliary network. The invertors and other associated equipment required for synchronising the unit to the auxiliary grid was jointly developed by Clean Technology Group and Tata Power Engineers. Tata Power will now be in a position to add this facility at additional locations, the release said.
