Design of Hydropower Structures

О курсе

This course offers a comprehensive examination of the critical components and design principles involved in hydropower engineering. Key topics include storage zones within reservoirs and water level control, forces impacting gravity dams, and hydraulic design principles for dams, barrages, and desilting basins. The course also addresses basic design requirements and procedures for embankment dams. The learners will explore water conductor systems, power intake structures, and methods for hydraulic and structural analysis of these components. The course covers the design of head race tunnels, including considerations for economic diameter, structural integrity, and seepage control. Additionally, the course delves into surge tanks, surge shafts, and surge chambers, focusing on hydraulic and structural design principles. Penstocks and pressure shafts are discussed, including classifications, design load conditions, and design procedures. The course also covers the design of turbine and generator floors, stability analysis of powerhouse structures, and considerations for underground powerhouses.
