The power station
is located on the Upper Ganga Irrigation
canal that takes off from the Bhim goda Barrage near Haridwar
at a distance of 13 km downstream of Haridwar.
The power plant was commissioned in the year 1955. The surface Power
House comprising 3 units of 6.8 MW each with Kaplan turbines of 8400 HP
output is located on the unlined irrigation canal and the water is
utilized for the irrigation purpose in the command area of the canal.
The Power Station's Design Energy is 80 MU with a design head of 9.75
m.
 The Pathri
power station is a low head plant with a design discharge of 253 cum.
The discharge in the canal is regulated by UP Irrigation Department
depending upon the irrigation requirement in the command area of the
Irrigation canal.
UJVNL proposes to carry out the M&U of the power station which is estimated
to cost Rs. 61.43 crore.
The major M&U works proposed are:-
i) Provision of Micro-processor
based Governors, Static excitation equipments, On-line monitoring
equipment and replacement of Generator windings with F Class
insulation.
ii) Modernization of Communication, Test & Control,
Protection & Instrumentation, switchyard equipment, hydro
mechanical equipment, Trash Rack cleaning equipment etc.
iii) Repair of existing civil structures.
iv) Improvements in the efficiency of generators and Turbines.
The generation after the completion of M&U works would increase to
135 MU and the works are expected to be completed by 2010-11.
