Consultancy services for in-pipe hydro systems on water supply pipes

Project Description:

Pre-feasibility study and concept development of in-pipe hydropower plants installation in water supply systems, including estimation of energy potential and financial estimation.

Parameters of the four selected locations:

1. POTI SHPP:
   Head range: 220 m
   Water flow Q=316 L/sec
   Pipe diameter D=500mm
   Distance to line connection point: 30m


2. AKHALTSIKHE SHPP
   Head range: 310
   Water flow Q=180 L/sec
   Pipe diameter D=426mm
   Distance to line connection point: 100m


3. AKHALKALAKI SHPP
   Head range: 145 m
   Water flow Q=277 (SUM) L/sec
   Pipe diameter D=250, 319, 400, 500mm (There are 4 parallel pipes and can be united);
   Distance to line connection point: 250m


4. SADGERI SHPP
   Head range: 200 m
   Water flow Q=160 L/sec
   Pipe diameter D=300 mm
   Distance to line connection point: 150m
