Dhalipur Power Plant (3x17 MW)

The power station is located on the downstream of the Dhakrani Power House at a distance of 4km on the power channel which takes off from the Dakpathar Barrage. The power plant was commissioned in the year 1965. The surface Power House comprising 3 units of 17 MW each with Francis turbines of 24,000 HP output is located on the power channel and the water from the tail race flows into Asan river. The Power Station's Design Energy is 192 MU with a design head of 30.48 m.
 

The Dhalipur power station is a low head scheme located on power channel with a design discharge of 199.2 cum.The Plant has shown significant improvements in generation since 2000.  The year 2004-05 was a draught year and more so for the Yamuna valley.
 

UJVNL proposes to carry out the M&U of the power station which is estimated to cost Rs. 101.25 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) Modernization of Communication, Test & Control, Protection & Instrumentation, switchyard equipment, hydro mechanical equipment etc.

iv) Desilting of Asan Barrage for storage.

v) Improvement in the efficiency of Generators and Turbines.

The M&U works after completion would increase the generation to 250 MU besides life extension of the plant. The works are expected to be completed by 2011-12.
