Design and Construction of Hydropower Structures
About this course
The course "Design & Construction of Hydropower Structures" provides an in-depth exploration of hydropower projects, covering systems, components, and essential design principles. It begins with the history of hydropower, Indian projects, and site selection criteria, followed by hydrological studies, geological and geotechnical analyses, and hydropower potential assessment. Learners will study the design and construction of diversion and storage headworks, water conductor systems, tunnels, caverns, and hydromechanical equipment. The course also covers energy dissipators, galleries, surge tanks, penstocks, pressure shafts, and cross-drainage works, emphasizing hydraulic and structural design fundamentals. Additionally, it explores economic diameter selection, seepage control, geotechnical surveys, and stability assessments to ensure efficient project execution. By the end, participants will develop comprehensive skills to analyze, design, and manage hydropower projects, integrating theoretical concepts with practical applications. Target Learners: Undergraduate students of Civil Engineering Post-Graduate Students of Integrated Water Resources Management Post-Graduate Students of Structural Engineering Faculties of Civil Engineering Domain Working Professionals in the above domain & other aspiring learners Pre-requisites: Fundamental knowledge on Fluid Mechanics, Applied Hydraulics, Water Resources Engineering Exposure to Indian codal standards
