Course content

2 sections • 17 lectures • 3h 0m total length

  • Introduction4:59

    Discover the principles of hydropower plant engineering, from potential water energy to turbine and generator conversion, and explore plant types—run-of-river, pondage, storage—and load profiles.

  • Dams7:17

    Explore dam types by shape and purpose, including arc, gravity, buttress, earth-fill, and coffer dams. Learn how storage, diversion, and pump-storage schemes optimize water use and electricity generation.

  • Civil Structures in Hydro Power Plants11:38

    Explore civil structures in hydro power plants, from reservoirs and dams to headrace tunnels, intake, penstock, surge tanks, trash rack, powerhouse, spillways, and galleries.

  • Power House Layout16:11

    Explore the power house layout, including turbine floor, generator, transformers, switchyard, and control room, and learn how cooling, dewatering, lubrication, and firefighting systems keep hydro plants running smoothly.

  • Various Turbines11:34

    Classify hydro turbines by energy type (impulse and reaction), flow direction, head, and speed, and review major types like Francis, Kaplan, propeller, bulb, and Pelton with key components.

  • Francis Turbine, Kaplan & Propeller Turbine8:27

    Learn the Francis turbine as a mixed-flow, medium-head machine with fixed blades guided by vanes and a draft tube, achieving about 94% efficiency and contrasting with Kaplan and propeller turbines.

Requirements

  • Any one can learn
  • Preferably ITI or Dilpoma or B. Tech in Mechanical/Electrical/Civil Engineering.
  • For people interested in owning a Hydro Project
