Dhakrani Power Plant (3x11.25 MW)

The Power Station is located on the downstream of the Dakpathar Barrage at a distance of 8 km on the power channel which takes off from the Barrage. The power plant was
commissioned in the year 1965. The surface Power House comprising 3 units of 11.25 MW each with Kaplan turbines of 14300 HP output is located on the power channel and the same water feeds the Dhalipur power plant on the downstream of this power plant on the same power channel. The Power Station's Design Energy is 169 MU with a design head of 19.8 m.               

 

UJVNL proposes to carry out the M&U of the power station which is estimated to cost Rs. 70 crore. The major M&U works proposed are:- 

i) Provision of Micro-processor based Governors. 

ii) Provision of Static excitation equipments and On-line monitoring equipment.

iii) Provision of Trash Rack cleaning equipment at Dakpathar Barrage.

iv) Modernization of Communication, Test & Control, Protection & Instrumentation 
switchyard equipment, hydro mechanical equipment etc.

v) Desilting of Dakpathar Barrage for storage.

vi) Improvement in the efficiency of generators and Turbines.

The M&U works would increase the generation to 175 MU besides enhancing the life of plant and the works are expected to be completed by 2011-12.
