Abstract

This paper aims an objective to study Economic Analysis of Mini hydel schemes. This study facilitates to take effective measures for reducing the cost which are also given. Analysis of two mini hydel schemes, Bhimgarh small hydel and Chargaon-Jatlapur Mini hydel project in India, constructed on dam toe and canal fall respectively is given. Parameters like cost of Civil work, by pass canal, intake structure and cross regulation has been worked out. Cost benefit ratio and Annual return is calculated. Estimate for electrical and mechanical equipments is prepared. The constraints and problems arising in development of power hydel schemes are known. Comparing with other alternative sources of energy, economics of NonConventional energy schemes is given. Because of limited availability of coal and other fossil fuels and for total upliftment of country, growth of remote places is must. Whereas to transmit power to such places is very costly. This gives rise to Pico-hydro Plant that does not require construction of dams and considered as run off river. Hence, simplified model has been demonstrated and working is been explained. The output has been tested and usefulness of research is highlighted
