Abstract
In this study, the feasibility of hydroelectric power generation from the Kayabogazi dam, which was built by The State Hydraulic Works of Turkey (DSI) in 1987 in the town of Tavsanli, Kutahya, for irrigation and flood control purposes is investigated. Since a certain amount of water is supplied from the dam to the town of Tavsanli as drinking water, that amount is deducted from the total and is not allowed to be used in the process of electric power generation. By evaluating the amount of incoming water to the Kayabogazi dam in the period of 1995 and 2003 years, the most agreeable turbine type and size is decided for a small hydropower plant (SHP). In this purpose, seven different cases have been taken into consideration. As a conclusion, the case used three turbines which one of them is installed to utilize from the higher flow rates has been determined as the best configuration. In this study, a power generation ranging between 0.313 and 4.997 MW has been achieved in the viewpoint of installed capacity for Kayabogazi dam. Hence, it has been estimated an electricity generation up to 10,579 MWh per annum.
