Sir,
In continuation to the previous email, you may consider a rated head of 250 - 260 m
(keeping the machine size same as mentioned) instead of 212 m for selection of
machines and budgetary estimate.

Gmail - Budgetary Estimate for Turbo-generator unit https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ik=6b9e58b942&view=pt&search=al...
With reference to the discharge curve shared, we as OEM propose the most economical solution as 2x16 MW, 6
-jet Vertical Pelton units for Balasun HEP. This configuration of PH will run perfectly fine up to at 0.95 m3/s
discharge (with good efficiency, operating at single jet). Therefore, in our opinion there is no need to have a 6 MW
smaller unit. This smaller unit will not serve any purpose (as Pelton turbine has relatively constant efficiency
throughout the operating range, even in minimum part load limit of 10-15%.
Also having two different size of units will cause increase in engineering cost, will require two sets of spares (one
set for big unit, one set for smaller unit), longer execution time, bigger powerhouse for 3 units and also not good
from plant aesthetics point of view. In economic terms E&M equipment for 2 x13 MW + 1 x 6 MW configuration will
be higher by 8-10% (than 2x16 MW configuration). Apart from that there will have additional civil cost for larger
power house size for 2 x13 MW + 1 x 6 MW configuration.
Regarding selection of turbine type, Specific Speed is more in range of Pelton turbine, no good Francis hydraulics
available. Therefore, the unit setting shall be much deeper for Francis turbine which means deeper excavation-at
least 6m deeper. Also Francis turbine will have very poor part load efficiencies and it cannot operate below 40%
part load.
Therefore, based on preliminary calculation & experience, Voith strongly recommend 2x16MW, 6-jet Vertical
Pelton with 428 rpm (instead of 2x13MW+1x6MW).

Sir,
WBSEDCL is going to implement 38 MW Balason HEP in Darjeeling district of West Bengal. In this regard, a
techno-commercial budgetary offer dated 18 Feb 2021 was submitted from your end, wherein, 02 nos. 16 MW, 6 Jet ,
428 rpm vertical pelton generator and 01 no. 6 MW, 3 Jet, 500 rpm vertical pelton generator were proposed.
We are now preparing Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the said project. Hence, considering your earlier budgetary
offer, you are requested to provide preferably CAD drawings i.r.t. Longitudinal Section of Power House and Cross
Section of Power House depicting necessary dimensions for finalization of DPR.
