The power station
is located on the downstream of the Asan
Barrage at a distance of 4.5 km on the power channel which takes off
from the Asan Barrage. The power plant was
commissioned in the year 1975. The surface Power House comprising 3
units of 10 MW each with Kaplan turbines is located on the power
channel and the water from the tail race flows towards Khara power house in UP. The Power Station's Design
Energy is 145 MU with a design head of 18 m.
 The Kulhal
power station is a low head scheme located on power channel with a
design discharge of 198 cum.
The improvements have been due to number of maintenance and safety
initiatives under taken besides the repair of the under water parts.
The long pending repair of the power channel between Asan Barrage and Kulhal
power house were taken up in early 2005.
UJVNL proposes to
carry out the M&U of the power station which is estimated to cost Rs. 38.75 crore. The
major M&U works proposed are:-
i) Provision of Micro-processor based Governors,
Static excitation equipments and On-line monitoring equipment.
ii) Modernization of Communication, Test & Control,
Protection & Instrumentation, switchyard equipment, hydro
mechanical equipment etc.
iii) Desilting of Asan
Barrage.
iv) Improvement in the efficiency of Generators and Turbines.
The generation after the completion of M&U works would increase to
165 MU and the works are expected to be completed by 2011-12.
