- Abstract
The total area of Uttarakhand is about 53,483 km2, where 86% area is mountainous and 65% is covered by forest. The two main rivers Ganga and Yamuna originate from Uttarakhand. In addition to these two rivers, Uttarakhand has a large river and canal network that provides hydropower with immense reach. In 1907, one of India’s first hydropower stations was commissioned at Galogi (Uttarakhand). At present, the total installed hydropower capacity of Uttarakhand is around 3549.68 MW. The hydropower is generated by regulating water through dams and barrages followed by passage through hydroturbines. In dams, the water is stored during the monsoon period and released in a lean discharge period to maintain the continuous flow in the river... (More)
The total area of Uttarakhand is about 53,483 km2, where 86% area is mountainous and 65% is covered by forest. The two main rivers Ganga and Yamuna originate from Uttarakhand. In addition to these two rivers, Uttarakhand has a large river and canal network that provides hydropower with immense reach. In 1907, one of India’s first hydropower stations was commissioned at Galogi (Uttarakhand). At present, the total installed hydropower capacity of Uttarakhand is around 3549.68 MW. The hydropower is generated by regulating water through dams and barrages followed by passage through hydroturbines. In dams, the water is stored during the monsoon period and released in a lean discharge period to maintain the continuous flow in the river throughout the year. Continuously running water can be utilized for energy generation. However, operation and maintenance issues are the major challenges of hydropower generation, which can be handled by effective operation and maintenance strategies. Internet of things (IoT) is a concept to acquire live data from plant to monitor it remotely. Weather monitoring, discharge measurement, and silt monitoring instruments must be installed to regulate the dams/barrage safely. In this chapter, the technologies available for monitoring dams and barrages are reviewed, and an Internet of things (IoT)-based dam and barrage monitoring and control system architecture is proposed.
