Maneri Bhali
Stage-I project harnesses power potential of river ‘Bhagirathi’
between Maneri and Tiloth
in district Uttarkashi for generation of
electrical power. The power station was commissioned in the year 1984.
The power station consists of three generating units of 30 MW
each having vertical shaft, suspension type Hydro-Generator coupled to
Francis type hydro turbines supplied by M/s. BHEL. The hydraulic system
of the power station scheme consists of a diversion dam at Maneri about 8.6 Km long 4.75m dia
high pressure tunnel, surge tank at the end of tunnel and a single
penstock controlled by a gate at surge tank, trifurcating into three
units penstock near the upstream of power station building, each
controlled by a spherical valve of 1.8 m dia
operating under a head of about 180m. Each unit is connected to the
tail race channel through the draft tube controlled by a draft tube
gate. The tail race is a short open channel connecting to river Bhagirathi.
UJVNL proposes to carry out the M&U of the power station which is estimated
to cost Rs. 163.75 crore.
The generation after the completion of M&U works would increase to
525 MU and the works are expected to be completed by 2011-12.
