JOINT UNDP / WORLD BANK ENERGY SECTOR MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME (ESMAP) PURPOSE The Joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP) is a special global technical assistance partnership sponsored by the UNDP, the World Bank and bi-lateral official donors. Established with the support of UNDP and bilateral official donors in 1983, ESMAP is managed by the World Bank. ESMAP's mission is to promote the role of energy in poverty reduction and economic growth in an environmentally responsible manner. Its work applies to low-income, emerging, and transition economies and contributes to the achievement of internationally agreed development goals. ESMAP interventions are knowledge products including free technical assistance, specific studies, advisory services, pilot projects, knowledge generation and dissemination, trainings, workshops and seminars, conferences and roundtables, and publications. ESMAP work is focused on three priority areas: access to modern energy for the poorest, the development of sustainable energy markets, and the promotion of environmentally sustainable energy practices. GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS ESMAP is governed by a Consultative Group (the ESMAP CG) composed of representatives of the UNDP and World Bank, other donors, and development experts from regions which benefit from ESMAP's assistance. The ESMAP CG is chaired by a World Bank Vice President, and advised by a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) of independent energy experts that reviews the Programme's strategic agenda, its work plan, and its achievements. ESMAP relies on a cadre of engineers, energy planners, and economists from the World Bank, and from the energy and development community at large, to conduct its activities under the guidance of the Manager of ESMAP. FUNDING ESMAP is a knowledge partnership supported by the World Bank, the UNDP and official donors from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. ESMAP has also enjoyed the support of private donors as well as in-kind support from a number of partners in the energy and development community.

It has been carried out for the Government of The United Republic of Tanzania. The Government of Sweden through ESMAP financed the study which forms the mini hydro component of the World Bank's assistance program to Government of Tanzania. The studies are intended for the benefit of Tanzania's state owned electric power utility TANESCO which is involved in generation, transmission and distribution and is administered under the Ministry of Energy and Minerals. The primary objective of the study is to look for economical and reliable alternatives for meeting the growing electric power demand in the Kilimanjaro, Kigoma, Rukwa and Ruvuma regions of Tanzania. These regions with the exception of Kilimanjaro are very remote and are not yet electrified by the national grid. The existing local grid supply in the last three of these regions is from diesel engine driven generators owned and operated by TANESCO. The present supply situation is however not reliable and the diesel units are expensive to operate and maintain. These diesel sets were initially Installed to provide for rapid electrification of the regional capitals and important towns. However, there was continuous rise in power demand due to realization of the benefits of electrical energy in these towns and regions as well as rise in population. TANESCO is facing difficulty in meeting the demand for electric power adequately and reliably due to constraints on the installed capacity of diesel sets, fuel availability, long distance fuel transportation, adverse operating conditions and frequent outages of the diesel generating sets, some of which have reached the end of their economic life. These factors have also hindered the expansion of the regional grids with the result that most areas in these regions, with the exception of the respective regional capitals and surrounding areas are not electrified or are without electricity due to considerable load shedding which is practiced. Although in some regions demand side management studies can be done, the capacity released Is unlikely to be significant in the short term due to the fact that electricity in these areas is mostly used for lighting and other domestic needs. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-1 muhflinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION AII regions considered in this study are endowed with perennial streams and rivers with many potential sites suitable for economically developing small hydropower projects (upto 10 MW). To effectively meet the load demand In the short term from these projects, the effort and time spent on the phases in a conventional approach to small / mini hydropower development such as planning, investigations and tendering should be reduced by simplified designs and layout so that implementation can commence quickly, and the construction period limited to one or two years. The towns/regions referred to SECSD and the study methodology adapted come under two categories shown in figure 1-1. In the first category are the potential schemes in the region which have already been investigated to feasibility stage by TANESCO and other agencies, but were not implemented. These existing studies need to be updated by improving the planning, layout and design approach so as to minimize the implementation cost and construction period. Some factors which suggested this approach are the very high level of investment cost per kW and longer construction period. Due to these aspects, the projects provided only marginal economic and financial benefits. Most of the estimated costs of such candidate projects in these regions ranged from about US$3000 to $8000 per kW rendering the sites rather uneconomical for development as originally planned. Some of the key factors contributing to such high level of implementation costs directly or indirectly in the category one schemes are * Increase in quantum of civil works due to inappropriate planning principles and certain features incorporated in the designs such as long waterways for getting additional marginal increase in head. * High unit costs in civil works estimate, even for indigenously available construction materials and equipment. * High Electro mechanical equipment costs. * Alternative layouts for the schemes formulated and studied before selecting the final alternative on techno-economic grounds needed a closer look and review. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-2 Mulinaldoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION * Planning development of a river in its lower reaches with very large catchment (where the river is wide, shallow with considerable flood magnitude) for a power station with very small Installed capacity as the load demand Is very small. * Planning of power stations on a stream on isolated basis without doing planning of the entire stream or river basin. * Inadequate reconnaissance and investigation of alternative sites in the vicinity of a demand center. * Non availability of adequate observed river flow records with the result that potentially good streams have not been selected for development. In such cases synthetic hydrology has to be developed using elaborate models. * Vast distances between towns in a region with the result that expenditure on transmission lines becomes abnormal If a single power station Is selected to supply all towns. In such a situation development of local grids has to be done using mini hydro on nearby streams. In the second category, there are many sites which have been identified by various agencies on the basis of concentrated drops or steep gradients In the river bed. From the preliminary information available on these potential sites, it appears that these sites however are not close to the existing rural demand centers. Many such sites occur in reaches of streams where access is difficult or the drainage area is insignificant, with low and erratic flows, as a result of which power generation may not be reliable and has a large variance from year to year. Because of these factors, these sites call for substantial expenditure on access roads and transmission. Hence, instead of selecting sites to serve an area from the existing inventory, an alternative approach of thoroughly studying other streams and rivers in the vicinity of the demand center to identify promising sites in terms of access, hydrology and other factors but not necessarily planned for development on the basis of a naturally occurring concentrated head was undertaken. A series of such viable potential sites have been identified to meet the demand at an early date. They have been studied on toposheets SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-3 Muhnaldoc  SMAP/ 74NESCO DECiDE TRT ON AREAS OF INTEREST AS COLLECT ALL S LGOMA KILIMANJARO.

Simultaneously, a total river basin development for hydropower using a cascade approach is formulated such that additional standardized projects in the cascade on the same river can be implemented in stages as the load demand grows. A flowchart giving the study methodology of the two alternatives is illustrated in figure 1-1. The approach under category one by modifying the site locations, layout, planning and designs has been used for Kikuletwa No.2 project on the river Kikuletwa In Kilimanjaro region and Igamba falls on Malagarasi river In Kigome region respectively. These two case studies demonstrate how the implementation cost has been cut significantly and construction period reduced so that small/mini hydro's can be rendered economical by adapting a cost effective approach in planning. The approach under category two by exploring and selecting alternative sites has been adopted in the case studies for Mtambo river for supplying Mpanda town in Rukwa Region and Muhuwesi river for supplying Tunduru town in Ruvuma Region. A map of Tanzania showing geographical locations of the areas of concentrated study with proposed mini and small hydro projects by SECSD is given in figure 1-2. The figure also shows the existing national grid and the existing diesel power stations. There are a total of fifteen isolated diesel stations generating about 56GWh per annum. There are also eleven diesel stations which are connected to the grid and which generate 431 GWh per annum (see table 1 -1). Thus all these towns with Isolated diesel power stations need to be supplied with mini hydropower which will give significant cost savings. Both the approaches above result In a series of projects In a cascade. One representative project in each region, which is feasible at least cost and can meet the demand for the next few years has then been selected for the pre-investment study. It is felt that the remaining projects can also be further investigated on the same lines. This report examines the layout details for the Kwitanda project on Muhuwesl river in the Tunduru district of Ruvuma region. The proposed project is a more economical alternative to the development of Sunda falls on Ruvuma river proposed earlier for electric supply to Tunduru town. The study was initiated In mid 1996 supplemented with extensive visits to the project area. In December SECSD (P) Ltd. 1- mhiftmLdoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 1997, a pro feasibility report was submitted to ESMAP and TANESCO outlining the findings of the SECSD team, The SECSD approach was approved and clearance given to carry the study forward to the present final phase resulting in the preparation of this pre investment report. Presently TANESCO is faced with the challenging task of meeting the demand In the HV grid which supplies urban areas and industries in Dar, Morogoro, Tanga, Arusha etc. These areas are also the source of a significant part of revenues. The expansion and maintenance of this system calls for large blocks of power generation to be added periodically and hence creates pressure on TANESCO. It is interesting to note that some missions in the region have installed their own micro/mini hydro generating sets on perennial streams. One such installation Is that at mission in Peramiho The Ruvuma region is located in south western Tanzania on the eastern shores of Lake Nyasa. Songea is the regional capital. Tunduru is the only other major town in the region and is the district headquarters. The economy of the district is based predominantly on rainfed agriculture, cashewnuts production and gem stone mining. The region is not served by railway or scheduled flights. Road connections with other parts of the country are very poor and difficult especially during the rainy season. The region is not linked with the national transmission grid, with the result that economic growth has been rather slow. The present low demand for power and the vast distance from the nearest town Mbeya having grid supply makes grid connection option very expensive. Even if the regional capital gets electricity from hydro through the proposed Nakatuta project on Ruvuma, it will not be feasible to transmit the power to Tunduru due to the distance of 285km from Songea. Thus an abundant source of cheap power has to be developed within the district if the pace of development and economic growth is to be accelerated. There are at present very few industries in the district which consume electric power for their production operations. If cheap electric power is made available, Industries connected with agricultural products such as food processing and mining are likely to come up in the region. Such industries and entrepreneurs may also be interested in developing additional generation facilities using hydro resources as many companies in Tanzania are capable of financing the small hydro projects entirely or by forming consortia. Thus the region is also suitable to demonstrate the participation of private sector in power generation. Participation SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-7 muhW.doe TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION may be started with the traditional BOOT approach which is the strategy adopted in many developing countries. The primary role of the cascade mini hydro projects identified in this study on Muhuwesi river will be to cater to the present and future electric power demands of the small scale industries, towns and villages in the Tunduru district which is situated in a remote area of the southern most part of Tanzania. The greatest advantage of the power obtained from the projects in the cascade will be Its reliability and low production cost since it will exploit the natural hydropower potential of the Muhuwesi which has flowed to the Ruvuma without any use. Due to the stable run off characteristics of this river, the sufficient quantity of cheap electric power which will be available through the construction of the Muhuwesi cascade will promote a faster economic growth In the region. This will be of great importance in raising the living standards of the inhabitants of this region. The cascade design is such that its installed capacity can be augmented in stages to fully meet the anticipated maximum power and energy demands of the district for the next thirty years especially for places such as Tunduru, Ligoma, Namaskata, Klbwana, Msechela etc. This means that capital requirements for Implementation will be moderate and phased according to the growth of load demand thereby avoiding heavy financial burden at the beginning. The proposed cascade development will also make possible an increase in the planned consumption of electric power in these areas. It would be possible to build new small scale industries in the district to better utilize its resources as well as modernize existing facilities. Thus this approach to the development of a strong regional grid will ultimately lead to a link with the national grid in the future at which time it will be feasible, necessary and economic to plan and develop large generating stations on the Muhuwesi, Ruvuma and Its tributaries which flow through this region. The social consequences of electrification of households In Tunduru district are likely to be considerable. Access to electricity gives society a much greater opportunity to participate in national development. Electric lighting permits longer hours of work, study or leisure as well as greater security which Is afforded by street lighting. Public health can benefit directly from electricity for the pumping of water supplies. Education will also be benefited considerably through greater dissemination of information by television and radio. The electrification of Tunduru district is likely to have considerable beneficial impacts. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-8 nwu.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The most important consideration for a developer of a power project Is that the project is bankable or capable of being financed. The company which implements the project may be a newly established company which has no prior experience in hydropower or credit standing. This means that the project company will resort to non-recourse method as opposed to balance sheet financing used by state utilities. Investors in the project company will look towards the cash flow which the project will provide during operation as collateral. The project must also assure return on equity to participants. These constraints necessarily require that returns on investment must start accruing early, the rate of return must be sufficiently high, the returns must be stable which in turn depends on the hydrology of the selected river and load demand characteristics of the area, Also the tariff which the developer charges should be competitive. All of these imply that the project design should be simple, economical and easy to implement without cost overruns. In view of the foregoing discussion, this report effectively examines the method used in planning electric supply to an area from mini hydro whereby a new site near the town has been identified so that the cost of installed capacity has been reduced to make it attractive for rural electrification. The main scope of this study has been to fix the basic project configuration which will not pose any delays and problems thereby making the project attractive to the private sector for development. This report will hence prove to be useful to potential developers as most of the preliminary project design and configuration have been fixed under this study to a sufficient detail. Thus it will be able to attract qualified developers who can quickly evaluate project needs and risks as the IPP will be able to get a clear background of the project and will be able to concentrate immediately on other more important aspects such as power purchase agreements, financial, commercial, licensing issues and risk analyses. It is also of the view that based on the basic material presented in this study seasoned Independent Power Producers interested in developing the project would perform further studies and analysis using approaches which they are accustomed to in appraising such potential projects. This approach whereby the basic project configuration is pre defined, will reduce the time spent on defining the basic optimal and economical project configuration by the IPP which normally takes a long time in the case of hydro projects and imposes a burden on the IPP which it may not be willing to assume. The Terms of Reference for the present study required a review of the proposals by earlier consultants. Hence, this report also presents the planning and design SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-9 nwuhnaldoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION suggested by other previous consultants by including relevant key sections of the earlier reports so as to enable an easy comparison with the present revised layout which significantly reduces the implementation cost and time. The present study can also be used by TANESCO in preparing a structured RFP ('Request for Proposals') package which will be useful in soliciting proposals from Independent Power Producers for the development on a competitive basis. Such a package has usually associated with it a comprehensive pre-feasibility study which addresses Site related data such as location, access, grid interconnection Technology and design, Dispatch, Cost and Environmental Impact. The present study treats all these aspects and hence can be augmented with draft Implementation, Power Purchase and Conveyance agreements to give the complete RFP package. As the study brings out the costing of the project, It will also be easy to select competitive proposals from developers. The report will also be useful to the planning engineers of TANESCO so that they will be able to investigate, design and create an inventory of projects on similar lInes suggested in this report. This pre-investment study presents the project configuration, describes the key design aspects, integrates all the necessary hydrologic, topographic, geological and engineering information, estimates construction, operating and maintenance costs and contains all relevant project information that establishes the projects requirement so that it can be a basis for the project procurement and implementation. This report will also be of assistance to appraisal teams of the World Bank or other International Financial Institutions which may be Interested in providing funds for development directly to TANESCO for implementation. The study is presented as per the following sections. The scope of each section is summarized below. Section 2 Project Area The characteristics of the Ruvuma region and Tunduru district with respect to general features, economy, demography, climatological conditions and most Importantly the load demand forecast are discussed In Chapter 2. it Is estimated that the present restricted load demand in Tunduru is about 500kW with annual SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-10 mufinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION energy demand of about 3 GWh. This may grow at rates anywhere between 2.5% to 6% per year. The villages in the vicinity will have a combined demand of about 250kW. Growth rates however may not exceed 3%. The comparison of energy use'in the district from traditional non commercial fuels versus electricity Is given below on the basis of 200,000 inhabitants and per capita consumption of 150kg oil equivalent per year with a heat value of 14000 heat units per pound and energy equivalent of 0.1818 hp-hour. Box 1-1: Estimated Energy Balance for Tunduru District Total Energy Energy Energy Electric % Energy Consumption Consumption Consumption Energy Consumed Consumption as (kg oil eqv) (hp-hr) (kWh) (kWh) Electricity 30,000,000 12,216,960 9,108,965 900,000 9.88 The above shows that use of electricity is very insignificant. Most of the energy used in rural areas is hence from traditional fuels such as firewood, charcoal etc. As these fuels become increasingly expensive and difficult to obtain they can be substituted with electricity and there is likely to be considerable benefits achieved through electrification. Section 3 Revised Planning As previously mentioned, the original proposal at Sunda falls on Ruvuma river was reconnoitered and studied. This project is not recommended for implementation due to potential water rights issue with Mozambique and also unsatisfactory cost, access and transmission aspects. An alternative project using water from catchments within Tanzania and with easy access and shorter transmission is suggested which will reduce the implementation cost and make it suitable for IPP participation or implementation by TANESCO. Hence, a description of the original project layout as proposed by earlier consultant Is given in chapter 3 and the new project proposed by SECSD is discussed in chapter 4. The original configurations had an unit investment cost of $3750 per kW and an energy cost of $0.107 per kWh all exclusive of IDC in 1982. As per the revised approach the unit investment cost will be about $2500 per kW Inclusive of IDC SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-11 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION and energy cost 6.0 US cents per kWh assuming market for the entire generated energy even with project type loan from Financial Institutions. The project will hence be competitive and suitable either for IPPs or for Government implementation with assistance from World Bank. Section 4 Topographic Features and Surveys The proposed intake dam is located about 1 km downstream of the Muhuwesi bridge which is on the Tunduru Masasi main road. The Muhuwesi river at the bridge site enters a long gorge (Nawesa gorge) through which it flows for a distance of about 1.2km. The proposed power station is a further 2500 m downstream on the left bank. The topography of the intake dam site consists of steep rocky banks rising from the river course to elevation of about 430m. At the diversion site, the left bank of the river is vertical whereas the right bank rises more gently. The river is about 50m wide and the river gradient downstream of the proposed diversion site is moderate. A reconnaissance level topographic survey has already been performed for the stretch of the river from the Muhuwesi bridge to the diversion site. This data is adequate for the suggested planning and further aerial mapping Is not required as topographic sheets with contours are available for the project area and in fact the for the entire Ruvuma basin. At the time of implementation, topographic survey of the diversion weir and power house site could be performed. These aspects are discussed in chapter 5. Section 5 Geology The geology of the project area consists mainly of massive exposures of granite. The bedrock is exposed In the river bed and banks for a considerable reach along the river and even upto the confluence of Muhuwesi with Ruvuma. The rocks have ample bearing capacity. All structures envisaged are on the ground surface and are very simple. Hence there will be no need for any elaborate or detailed geological investigations which will influence the feasibility or cost of the project. These aspects are more fully described in chapter 6. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-12 nuitnai.doe TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Section 6 Hydrology The Muhuwesi river has a total catchment of 9239 sqkm. The catchment has 7 precipitation stations. The locations are shown in figure 7-1. The annual rainfall variation within the catchment is insignificant. In the northern part of the catchment it is about 1100mm and reduces to about 1000mm near Tunduru. The mean annual rainfall over the catchment upto the diversion site by using the Thiessen polygon method with five rainfall stations is 1093 mm. The river is also gauged at station 1 Q4 along the axis of the Muhuwesi bridge which was probably established In 1968. But records are available from 1985. The catchment at the gauge site is 6521 sqkm. The station comprises staff gauges with observation of water level daily. The control consists of a rocky gorge of about 4 meters depth. The gauges have been reported to break frequently and there is no continuity in the data except in the year 1969. Subsequent to 1970 no data is available to date. This gauging station is located about 1 km upstream of the proposed project site. Due to the discontinuous nature of the available data, four different sets of twenty year flow sequences for the period 1975 to 1995 have been built up by correlation of rainfall with runoff using different relationships. Out of these, one set has been selected which represents the expected flow conditions. These are discussed in chapter 7 on hydrology as well as in the annexure volumes A to F. From the above rainfall runoff studies and the computed flows, the mean annual flow over the twenty years of completed flow records 1975-76 to 1994-95 is 193.9 cumecs, The mean annual flow varies from 118.2 cumecs in 1989-90 to 265 cumecs in 1978-79. Analysis of long term flow duration curve indicates that the mean annual flow is exceeded for 30% of time and the firm flow which hydrologists define as exceeded 90% of the time is 4 cumecs. The flood magnitude is estimated to be 9000 cumecs for 1000 year return period which is selected for the design of the structures. A more detailed treatment is given In chapter 7. Also discussed are climatology, flood studies and sedimentation. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-13 muMinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Section 7 Power and Energy Studies The proposed diversion site is located 1 km downstream of the gauge site 1Q4 at Muhuwesi bridge. As no stream joins the Muhuwesi in the reach from the gauge site upto the proposed intake dam, the computed flow at gauge site is taken to be the inflow at the diversion site. The 1:50000 topographic survey maps have been used to work out the reservoir area and capacity curves by interpolation of contours to 2 m Intervals which is given in figure 8-1. The average annual continuous flow at the diversion weir site is 191 cum/sec. The year in which the mean flow is close to this is 1986-87 with a mean flow of 184 cum/sec and a corresponding annual yield of 5803 MCM. Thus the year 1986-87 is a representative mean hydrologic year. Similarly the year with maximum yield is 1978-79 with a mean annual flow of 265 cum/sec and yield of 8358 MCM and the year with the least annual flow is 1989-90 with a flow of 119 cum/sec and yield of 3727 MCM. The power and energy studies were carried out for the average year, dry year and wet year for an installed capacity of 2 x 1000 kW. The detailed working tables are given in the Tables 8-1, 8-2 and 8-3. From the results of the study, it has been decided that the power plant will have 2 units of 1000 kW each. Most of the years have flow equal to or greater than the average year in the spell 1975 to 1995, thus 14.5GWh is assured. In a wet year the energy output is 13.75 GWh and falls to 13 GWh in a dry year. The computations were performed with a computer program which models all the main features of the power plant and accounts for hydraulic losses in waterways, consumption within station, electrical losses of generator and transformer and operational constraints which may be imposed by head and tailwater level condition. Further, energy curves which represent the area under the duration curves were plotted for head of 18m and efficiency of 90%. The most optimal installation is SECSD (P) Ltd 1-14 muhfna.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 2 x 1000 kW which gives 14.5 GWh per annum. There is scope for overload capacity and hence 2 x 1250 kW is also considered. These aspects are dealt with in detail in chapter 8 wherein the detailed simulation methodology used for predicting the power and energy output of the plant in each of the above hydrological years with the resultant predicted hydraulic variables such as reservoir levels, net heads, losses, and electrical variables such as power, energy etc are presented graphically. The major results of the simulation are given in Box 1-2. The dry weather flow volume in a wet year is less than that in an average year and installed capacity restricts use of monsoon flows in a wet year which is the reason for lesser energy in a wet year as compared to a mean year. Box 1-2 Summary of Energy Outputs Installed Capacity Mean Year Wet Year Dry Year (kW) (GWh) (GWh) (GWh) 2 x 1000 14.5 13.75 13.0 Section 8 Civil Works The Muhuwesi hydropower project requires * an access road * a diversion weir to create head, store water and route the river flow into the intake of the waterway, * a waterway which is used to bypass the water from the natural river course and simultaneously concentrate the natural head on the turbine, * the power house which houses the electromechanical equipment such as turbines and generators and * a tailrace which leads the water from the power house back into the river. These constitute the civil works of the project. A brief outline of each component is given below. More thorough treatment is given In chapter 9 with the preliminary design and description of the various structures like diversion weir, intake structure, waterways, power house with tailrace and their outline drawings SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-15 muhanal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Part I Access Road. The project is located very close to the Tunduru - Masasi main road. From this road, before the Muhuwes bridge, a track leads to the diversion weir site. For access to the power house site a 3.5km access road is to be built on the left bank. Part II Diversion Weir. This will be a composite dam with rockfill on the flanks and a centrally located concrete spillway section founded on the rock. It will be gated and the crest will be at 435m. The crest length of the diversion weir Is about 180 m. The maximum height is about 10m. The elevation of the non overflow section is 442m. Aggregates for the concrete are available in the immediate vicinity and the concrete volume is not large hence will be very economical. Part III Intake and Waterway. The intake structure is located on the left bank near the diversion structure. It is a concrete structure and admits water to an open trapezoidal power canal with FSL 439m. The maximum flow is 13.5 cumecs. The canal is about 2500m In length and conveys the water to a forebay. The forebay Is constructed in an excavation in the soft rock immediately above the power station with side slopes 1:1 and is lined with concrete on three sides. On the other side, a gravity type retaining wall houses the belimouths which form the entrance to two penstocks of 1.7m diameter and length of about 160m each with separate Intakes. They are laid In a shallow excavation on the ground and convey the water to the power station located near the left bank of the Muhuwesi river where the water level is 420m. Part IV Power House. The power house will be of surface type. It is designed as a conventional rectangular building with concrete substructures. It will accommodate two vertical shaft tubular Kaplan turbine generator units and all their auxiliaries. A separate service bay is not necessary. The units can be removed by use of mobile crane through a hatch in the roof. The Muhuwesi river is wide near the power house area and as a result, the high flood level is low and hence expensive flood protection structures are not required. Part V Tailrace The tailrace will be an open channel which joins the river. It will be short in length. Its bottom and sides will be lined with local materials. The crest of the tailrace control weir will be such that at one unit discharge the water level is 420.35m. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-16 muhnaLdoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Section 9 Electromechanical Equipment The turbines with accessories and generator form the electro mechanical equipment. The power station will house two vertical shaft Kaplan turbines with tubular steel case and elbow draft tubes. The runner diameter will be 1080mm. The units are envisaged to be package type and will be supplied pre assembled and erected at site. The turbines will be coupled to synchronous three phase generators via a step up gearbox. The design flow through the turbines will be 6.75 cumecs each. The generators will be rated at 1250 kVA each. The turbine and generator sets are coupled by a 1:2 step up gearbox. The speed of the generator set Is 1000 rpm. Outline of electromechanical equipment and specifications are given in chapter 10. This section will be useful to the supplier of the generating equipment. Section 10 Transmission and Utilisation The power will be generated at 6.6kV. It will be stepped upto to 33 kV by outdoor transformers. The transmission scheme envisaged is to construct a 30 km 33kV single circuit line from the power station to Tunduru. These arrangements are discussed In chapter 11. This section also discusses the control, protection, metering strategy of the power station, switchyard, and transmission system. Section 11 Implementation Cost An estimate of the quantities of the civil works has been made. The implementation cost is worked out on the basis of unit rates of these Items and the proforma invoice of the electro mechanical equipment received from prospective equipment suppliers. The estimated quantities of various Items of civil works are multiplied by the unit rates to give the cost. Further estimates have been made for transmission lines and allowances for contingencies and environmental considerations. These aspects are dealt with in chapter 12. In the present proposal the cost is reduced to US$4.82 million as compared to the estimated US$ 11.25 million in 1982 for Sunda falls. This makes the project attractive for implementation by TANESCO or IPPs by project type of funding. Section 12 Economic, Financial and Sensitivity Analysis Since the project is intended to serve a new isolated system which will grow as the demand develops, the economic analysis is carried out by valuing the energy produced from the project as equivalent to that produced by a diesel station of equivalent capacity with the quantum of energy equal to the base year demand of 1.6 GWh as well as full project potential of 14.5 GWh. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-17 muhli.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The economic value of energy produced ranged from US cents 15.01 for annual generation from diesel limited to 1.6GWh to US cents 13.54 for generation of 14.5 GWh. The following economic indicators were obtained for a discount rate of 12%. Box 1-3: Benefit Cost ratios Demand a 6 GWh Demand a 14.5 GWh Growth - 2.5% p.a Growth a 0% p.m Base Case / No rise In fuel cost/ 1.48 2.74 Base Case + 20% Cost / No rse in fu cost 1.24 2.29 Base Case + 5% Infiation in il cost 2.33 4.02 Various sensitivity tests have been carried out for different worst case scenarios such as no growth in demand, no fuel cost escalation, 20% project cost escalation etc. The economic Benefit cost ratio does not go below 1.00 for any of the conditions and hence the project is economically sound. The financial analysis has been carried out by working out the total benefits from the project over its economic life of 30 years. The value for which energy produced can be sold is fixed at 7 US cents per kWh. This is about the average tariff charged by TANESCo. As the project may be financed on the basis of project financing or lImited recourse, the financial analysis has been performed with such an option. The project's financiers and lenders will base their decisions on project's cash flow for repayment of principal and Interest and for returns on investment. The return to equity participants and IRR is also important and is evaluated. Suitable sensitivity test have been carried out with different worst case scenarios such as no inflation in purchase price of electricity nor rise in demand. The results have shown that the project's financial benefit cost ratio is sufficiently high and no major cash flow deficits arise in servicing the debt, operation and maintenance cost streams. More aspects are given in chapter 13 where it is demonstrated that the project is feasible with project type funding. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-18 muhfinai.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Section 13 Implementation Aspects Due to the revised layout, the construction period of the project has boon reduced to 24 months. The execution of the project is not complicated as all the structures are relatively simple, conventional and no underground structures are involved. No problems are likely to be encountered due to geological conditions as sound rock is available for all civil structures. A construction schedule with the time frame required to implement each of the major project components is given. All these aspects are discussed in chapter 14. Section 14 Environmental Considerations The project area is located in an uninhabited area some 26km North East of Tunduru. The construction of the project will have minimal impact on the ecology and environment of the area. The only impact will be for the local people who are collecting gemstones from the river bed as they will have to move upstream or downstream. The improved access to the area due to the of the project may encourage new settlements and tourism in the area . The area in the immediate vicinity is uninhabited and is in wilderness. Consequently no land will need to be acquired by paying compensation, nor is there any human settlement in the diverted stretch of the river which may require water. The construction of the diversion weir across the river will confine the lake to the river channel and hence no farm, plantation or house will be submerged. In fact, the lakes created could be used for development of small scale fisheries. The power station when in operation will not produce any effluents or noise which will disturb the natural calm of the area. The only negative impact which may arise is during construction when the noise may scare away the wild animals in the area. The animals which have been spotted on the right bank are wild pigs, deer, lions and hyenas. Section 15 Conclusions and Recommendations Based on the findings of this study, the conclusions that have been drawn and the recommendations are given in chapter 15. Section 16 Photo Documentation Photographs of the project area showing the river is given which will be useful to the implementing agency are given together with reference material which was used. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-19 muhfinul.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Section 17 Annexures. The following annexure volumes have been developed which support the study. Annexure-A: Evaluation of Flow Records: The available daily historic flow data observed at gauge site 104 for the years 1965 to 1970 is presented. The data is then presented graphically as per the following charts and figures. Available daily Observed Discharge data for each year with 30 day maximum, minimum, and mean values for each month 30 day Runoff depth and volume with mass runoff 30 day average specific discharge Bar chart representation of runoff with logarithmic scale Annual Mass runoff Flow duration curve for each year with complete data in normal and log scales to enable reading of low flows. Partial Flow duration curves for each month after assimilating all data for each month. Graphs are given with normal and log scales to enable reading of low flows. Percentage exceedance of flows for each month Hydrograph for each year with normal and log scales to enable reading of low flows. Annexure - B: Precioitation Data of Muhuwesi Basin Available Precipitation data in the catchment along with graphical presentation is given for the important rainfall stations at Matemanga, Misechela, Muhuwesi, Nakapanya, Nalasi, Nampungu, Tunduru Agriculture and Tunduru Maji. SECSD (P) Ltd. 1-20 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Annexure - C: Infilling missin precipitation records The available precipitation records collected from the Department of Meteorology in Dar Es Salaam are discontinuous. The missing data was hence filled up for a twenty year period by correlation with adjacent stations. The completed records and the procedure are given in annexure C. Annexure - D: Rainfall Runoff Models Due to the discontinuous nature of runoff records, various types of correlation with rainfall have been attempted and four relationships obtained. These have been used to obtain four sets of mean monthly flows at the gauge site 1Q4. Duration' curves and other graphs have been plotted and the models compared. Annexure - E: Flood Studies The expected maximum flood at the site 104 has been derived by correlation of maximum flood with mean monthly discharge. The relationship shows a good correlation. This relationship has been used to derive maximum flood from the twenty year flow series. Flood frequency has then been fixed for various return periods. Annexure - F: Morphological properties The entire catchment of the Muhuwesi river has been studied and morphologic parameters have been derived for each of the sub basins. This is done so that similar studies in the adjacent basins can be carried out where data may be of better quality and flow relationships with morphologic parameters derived. These may be used to compare the flow sequences derived for the Muhuwesi river.

Songea is the regional capital. Tunduru is the only other major town besides which there are many scattered villages. The region is bordered by Lake Nyasa on the west, Iringa and Morogoro regions on the north, Lindi region on the north east, Mtwara region on the east and by Mozambique on the south. A considerable portion of the region comprises moderate to dense forest. Map of the region is given in figure 2-1. Section 2 Access The regional capital is accessible by main road B4 from Makambako which is located on road A104 which links Iringa with Mbeya. Makambako is also on the Tanzania - Zambia railway (TAZARA) connecting Dar Es Salaam to Zambia via Mbeya. Songea is 300km from Makambako. Access to Tunduru from Songea is by road Al 9 going east to Masasi in Mtwara region. The distance is 285km and road conditions are very poor especially during rainy season. A number of airstrips are available throughout the region for small charter aircraft. The most convenient access is by use of small aircraft from Dar to Tunduru airstrip which takes three hours flying time. Section 3 River Basins The region can be described as an almost flat moderately dense forest land with the land sloping gently principally to the north and south with a ridge running through the center. The two access roads are on this ridge. The western most part of the region adjacent to the shores of Lake Nyasa is very hilly with peaks reaching 2000m and forms part of the Livingstone mountain range. A number of short rivers like Mbangala, Msangesi, Sasawara, Lukubule, Chingweru, Muhuwesi, Lukwika, Likonde etc with catchments upto 9000 sqkm drain the southern slopes of the region into the Ruvuma river which flows to the Indian Ocean and forms the southern boundary of the country with Mozambique. The northern slopes are drained by larger rivers such as Mbarangandu and Luwegu into the Rufiji. The mountainous area in the western part is drained directly into Lake Nyasa mainly by Rutukira and Ruhuhu basins. Most of the rivers seem to be SECSD (P) Ltd. 2-1 mudinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION swampy and hence provide good regulated flow in the dry season. Most of the region receives an annual rainfall of about 1000mm. The Muhuwesi river originates in the central elevated ridge area of the region and flows in an easterly direction. It is joined by two major tributaries from the north one of which is Likuyu. It then turns to flow in an south easterly direction where It picks up two tributaries at a trijunction just near the Muhuwesi bridge called Masonya, and Nampungu. Further on It enters a Narrow gorge called Nawesa gorge for a short distance and continues to flow with gentle slope. It then enters a section with rapids where it is joined by the Mtetesi river. Just before it joins the Ruvuma river at an elevation of about 240m it receives its last tributary Ligoma on the right bank. Section 4 Topography The topography of the region consists of gently rolling hills. The Ruvuma river, shown in figure 2-1, occupies a large portion of the region. The basin stretches from Lake Nyasa on the west some 1000 km to Lindl on the east. The western boundaries are marked by the highlands which extend discontinuously southward from Burundi, along the east coast of Lake Tanganyika to the area north of Lake Rukwa and then along the east coast of Lake Nyasa. These highlands reach elevations of more than 2,000 m. A number of small rivers drain these areas into lake Nyasa which is at an elevation of 472 m, Section 6 Economy The primary income of the inhabitants of the region is from rain fed agriculture. The major cash crop is cashewnuts and Tanzania is the worlds largest exporter. All other farming is mainly for subsistence. The crops cultivated include maize, beans, cassava, sweet potatoes and fruit. Livestock is limited Fishing in Lake Nyasa is a very significant part of life for the people living on the shores of the Ruvuma region. In recent times collection of gem stones from the Muhuwesi and other rivers seems to be a source of employment with the youth. These are then sold to middlemen who cut, polish and export the stones. Among the stones found in the Muhuwesi river are Tourmaline, Alexandrite, Garnets, Ruby, Emeralds, Sapphire SECSD (P) Ltd. 2-2 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION etc. The mining of these stones leads to the erosion of the river banks and channels. There are very few small scale industries in the region which may be attributed to the lack of proper infrastructure such as electricity and roads. The gross per capita income in the Region may be near about the national average. The region is rich in hydropower potential but transmission to the demand centres could be a major constraint in developing large generating plants. On Ruvuma many large power stations are also possible which would require participation from Mozambique. Section 6 Climatic Conditions The area Is situated In the dry, hot heartland of Tanzania where ground elevation is about 430m. Average annual temperature variation is quite minimal, ranging from 20.C to 30.C Annual precipitation varies from about 1200mm near Lake Nyasa to about 1000mm near the project area. It then picks up as one moves towards the coast. The annual rainfall pattern in the basin is characterized by one long rainfall period from November to May. This period is dominated by the northeast monsoon air currents, known as the Kaskazi season. These air currents meet westerly air masses originating out of the Congo basin. The convergence area of these two air masses cause the heavy rainfall occurrences. This convergence area also links with the major ITCZ, which at this time of year is located to the south of Tanzania, but does not have any direct influence on rainfall during this time. This 4-month period accounts for about 60 to 65 percent of the total annual rainfall in the basin. During mid-March to mid-May, the ITCZ moves north across the country carrying an additional 19 percent of the annual rainfall. From June to September, the southeast monsoon or Kusi air currents prevail. This produces the driest period in the basin, as well as in the majority of the country. This is mainly due to the dryness of the air mass itself which Is of continental origin. Average rainfall over this period is less than 4 mm/month. SECSD (P) Ltd. 2-3 muMal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The remaining part of the year, from October through November, sees the ITCZ move southward across the country quite rapidly in comparison to its northward rate of travel. When passing through the Ruvuma basin the ITCZ has very minimal effects. Less than 5 percent of annual total rainfall in the area is produced during the "Short rains" period. In November, the convergence zone associated with the air masses of the Kaskazi and Congo basin establishes quite rapidly bringing heavy rains to the basin, which average between 15 and 20 percent of the total annual rainfall. Potential evaporation is quite high throughout the region, ranging from an average of 1,700 mm/year at Songea to almost 2,000 mm/year at Tunduru. Section 7 Demography The region is sparsely populated and exists to this day in its natural state. The Region has a population density of approximately 20 people/km2 and the annual growth rate is very uneven, Section 8 Demand Supply Situation The present source of the electricity in the region is entirely from diesel generators. The units are operated by TANESCO. They were installed initially to provide electrification of the main part of the Songea town. There are generators in Tunduru also with a capacity 2 x 350kW . The service area is limited to only the towns. The present load in Tunduru is about 300kW. Considerable costs are Involved In running them as fuel Is very expensive and has to be transported over a long distance which is very difficult in the monsoon. Frequent shut down of the generating station due to fuel shortage is not uncommon. The supply conditions are very erratic and during the reconnaissance visits to the area it was found that the generators were shut down due to non availability of diesel. In Peramiho, there is a mission which operates its own mini hydro plant. The rest of the region is not electrified. Present estimate of the cost of supplying electricity by diesel may be about 12 to 15 US cents per kWh. The average tariff in the area is about 7 US cents per kWh. Detailed studies on the potential electric power demand of the region were carried out in 1982 by SWECO. The study estimated that the demand in Tunduru would be about 1300kW by 1994. The energy demand was estimated to be about I OGWh. The study was based on the assumption that a 3000kW power plant SECSD (P) Ltd. 2-4 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION would be commissioned at Sunda falls on the Ruvuma river in 1984. This project however was not implemented. Hence it may be assumed that the present demand has not risen to the levels which were forecast in the study. The modified load demand forecast is given in table 2-1. This table is derived from studies in Kigoma. The demand in Kigoma was about 300kW in 1969 and rose to 680kW in 1979. This period was also one in which there was good economic growth in Tanzania. This gives a growth rate of about 7.1%. Three sets of demand studies have been carried out. The first assumes supply to Tunduru with the present load of 350 kW with a low growth scenario of 3%p.a. The next is a medium growth scenario with load of 600kW with 250kW from surrounding villages and a 5% annual growth rate. The last is a high growth scenario with 500kW load in Tunduru and 250kW from surrounding villages. The growth rate is 7%. The energy demands are calculated for each of the growth rates with a load factor of 60%. The predicted demand is plotted yearwise and an exponential curve is fitted by method of least squares. Similar curve has been fitted for the energy demand. It should be noted that demand at present is suppressed due to constraints on generation as well as high prices of electrical gadgets. The projections show that with a medium growth scenario the demand will be about 2000kW in 2020 with required energy of 8.37GWh. In case of a high growth scenario, the demand will be 5350kW In 2020 with energy requirement of 13GWh. The proposed mini hydro project on Muhuwesi has a capacity of 2000kW and energy generation of 14.5GWh per year. Thus it will be able to serve the district for the low and medium growth cases. In the case of high growth scenario, additional capacity has to be provided in 2010. Generation data as obtained from TANESCo's diesel power station at Tunduru is given in tables 2-2 to 2-4. Table 2-2 gives the daily maximum alternator output in kW recorded during the year 1997. The maximum demand recorded was 330kW on January 20th. The minimum demand was 130kW recorded on April 20e. The mean load is about 260kW. A plot of maximum, minimum and mean demand for SECSD (P) Ltd. 2-5 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION each month is given below the table as also the daily load for the months having the minimum and maximum load. Table 2-3 gives the daily energy generation. The maximum energy generated In a day was 4350kWh on September 13th The minimum energy generated was 160kWh on Dec 6" due to outage on the sets. The mean energy generated in a day is 2857kWh. The total annual energy demand is 982,660kWh. Table 2-4 gives the operational status of the diesel power station. It gives the number of hours for which the station was generating power each day along with the constraints on operation such as fuel shortages, breakdown in equipment, outages, scheduled maintenance etc. Below the table are given the maximum, minimum and mean number of hours for which the station generated each month and also the number of days in each month when supply was available for 24 hours. The available unit and station capacities In each month are Indicated below that. The unit which is in service is indicated by SE and that in standby is indicated by SB. Units which are out of service due to preventive and scheduled or forced outage is indicated by R. The load factor of the plant Is indicated for each month as also is the unit load factor. Finally, the number of days in each month when the units were out of service due to fuel shortage, outage or repair Is indicated. Below this is given the above data in graphical form. The first figure indicates the maximum, minimum and mean running hours as pillar charts. The second graph gives the days of diservice In each month due to either fuel shortage, repair or outage. The last graph gives the available capacity in each month from either unit as well as that from the station. SECSD (P) Ltd. 2-6 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION A load duration curve is then plotted ignoring the days on which operating constraints were incurred. The curve is shown in figure 2-2 and has a base load of about 150kW. Based on the above data, the following conclusions can be drawn. * Continuity in supply is frequently hampered due to Fuel shortage. In the year 1997 there were seventy days when fuel was in short supply that is 20% of the time. Examination of the table indicates that supply was disrupted in February, March, April and May. This may be attributed to the monsoon which renders the roads impassable to tankers from Songea or from Masasi. * The number of days for which supply was available 24 hours is only 47 days in a year. This is again due to shutting down of units either to conserve fuel or because the load demand is smaller than the minimum output of the units. Hence the consumers cannot be assured of continuity in supply. * The units are operated in rotation due to preventive maintenance required. A look at the available station capacity for each month shows that full capacity of 600kW was available only during January, February, March, August and September. In the remaining months, one of the units was under repair. Thus the net capacity available is that from only one unit of 300kW. It should be further noted that even in February and March fuel constraint limits the capacity to only one unit. Thus in conclusion only 300kW dependable capacity seems to be available. * The present maximum load is about 330kW. This is the output of one machine, Due to reliability constraints as discussed above, further growth in load hence cannot be met due to Insufficient Installed capacity. * The present energy demand of about 1GWh is a restricted demand. The maximum recorded daily energy consumption of 4350kWh gives an annual demand of 1.58GWh and a load factor of 60.1%. * The load duration curve indicates a base load of about 150kW, load exceeded 80% of time of about 250kW and that exceeded 40% of time to be 260kW. SECSD (P) Ltd. 2-7 muhna*.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION * From the above, the economic price per kWh is derived in chapter on economic and financial analysis as 15 US cents per kWh. Given that the average tariff charged by TANESCo Is about 7 US cents per kWh, the station is not generating any profit and so expansion and supply are in a sense subsidized. * From the above it is seen that TANESCo is facing difficulty in operating the diesel station and should hence have an alternative and economical reliable source of power from hydro so that It is able to expand its service area In Tunduru district and make profit from its operations.

The study explored the possibilities of hydropower development for supply to Songea and Tunduru. As this report concentrates on Tunduru, only the proposals put forth for Tunduru are discussed. The two options studied for supply to Tunduru were Ruvuma at Sunda falls and Muhuwesi at Nawesa gorge. The description of the schemes are given below. Section 2 Sunda Falls Sunda falls are located on the Ruvuma river which Is the border between Tanzania and Mozambique in an uninhabited area about 65km south east of Tunduru. The catchment area at the site is about 62,700 sqkm of which about half lies in Mozambique. The river is very wide at the site and the flow occurs in many channels with large islands in the middle. These islands are probably subject to flooding during the high water periods. The flow In the dry season is said to be confined to mainly one channel where it cascades down a 13.5m high drop. The study proposed two alternatives as follows. The salient features of the development are given below. It was forecast that alternative I will meet the demand of Tunduru for 15 to 20 years with 7 to 8 percent annual growth rate whereas the second option would meet the demand for 10 years. The main features are summarized below.

The proposed Sunda falls power plant will be located on the Tanzanian side of the river. SECSD (P) Ltd. 3-1 nuibi.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 2. The access road from Tunduru which is in very poor condition for some stretches ends about 1 km from the site. New road of about 1 km will have to be built which will be about 4.5m width. 3. The power station will be connected to the river banks by an earth and rockfill dam with a crest level 294m. The dam will have an impervious core, consisting of laterite which is protected from erosion by a layer of rockfill on the crest and the sloping faces. Between the rockfill and core are transition zones of coarse material and sand. 4. All materials for the rockfill dams are available in the vicinity. 5. The diversion structure will consist of 4 small overflow concrete weirs which will be constructed, two on the Mozambique side and two on the Tanzanian side, The weirs will be about 1 to 2m in height. Plan and section of the diversion weir is shown in figure 3-1. 6. The mean firm flow at the site (62,700 sqkm) is estimated from the records of station 1Q7 located on Ruvuma at Muhiga which is 375km upstream and where the catchment is 4900 sqkm. The flow duration curve at the site is deduced in proportion to the catchment increase over that at Muhiga. 7. Based on the above, the firm flow at Sunda was estimated to be 24 to 26 cumecs. 8. The flood at the Muhiga site for 1000 years return period was estimated to be 960 cumecs. It was then deduced that as catchment at Sunda falls is about 13 times larger, the flood magnitude cannot be estimated proportionately but must be based on further studies. 9. The geological investigations were brief and concluded that the rocks in the area belonged to the Usagavan system of Archean age. The rocks in this class occur mainly as marble, quartzite and various schists and gneisses. The rocks in the Sunda falls area seemed to be gneissic and the outcrops along the river were sound. SECSD (P) Ltd. 3-2 muldinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 10.A headrace canal with a length of 280m and a width of 9 meters will be excavated in rock, An intake structure equipped with closure arrangements and stop logs Is provided. 11.The headrace canal leads to the power house which is located close to the left bank. The substructure of the power house will be founded on the rock. The substructure consists of deep shafts at the base of which the turbines are located. The running speed of the turbines is 350 rpm. Runner diameter is 1.5m. 12.The superstructure is made up of concrete elements and houses the gearbox and generators. The turbine generator sets are coupled by long shafts with intermediate guide bearings. The step up gearbox ratio Is 1:2.14. The generators sets are air cooled and run at 750rpm. The generator voltage is 400V. 13.Water after generation is conveyed back to the river by a deep tailrace canal which Is about 300m In length and has a bottom width of 9 meters. It Is excavated mostly in rock. 14.The transmission system consists of a 33kV step up transformer at the power station and a 65km long 33kV transmission line to Tunduru. At Tunduru a substation will be built with feeder lines to various loads. 15.The construction of the plant was estimated to take two and half years. 16.The cost estimate of the plant was worked out which included civil works comprising direct costs and contractors indirect costs, mechanical and electrical works comprising equipment costs, freight, insurance, bonds, erection, transmission and substation, contingencies, engineering and supervision. The estimate was made for both the alternatives. It is presented in table 3-1. 17.As the project is to be implemented in an area with no existing grid supply and low use of electricity, the energy demand was predicted to grow from about 1GWh to the full output of the plant. For the purposes of economic analysis this variable increase was converted to average constant demand as shown in SECSD (P) Ltd. 3-3 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION shown in Box 3-2. Thus all the capacity of the plant would not be used for 20 years in case of alternative 1 and 10 years in case of alternative 2 with the result that revenue from sales would be restricted till the demand grows.

SECSD (P) Ltd 3-5 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Section 3 Muhuwesi The other proposal briefly studied was the Muhuwesi at Nawesa gorge. The flow was estimated to be about 2 cumecs and a head of 22m was contemplated by construction of a 25m high dam. The Installed capacity was proposed to be 1700kW with a firm capacity of 1300kW from a 220 million cubic meter reservoir. The annual energy was estimated to be 12GWh. The site is 26km from Tunduru and Is easily accessible as it is on the Masasi - Tunduru main road which the Muhuwesi crosses. The project was not recommended as it would be less economic due to the 25m dam even If the shorter transmission line Is considered. Section 4 SECSD Observations With the above details extracted from the SWECO report, the following observations can be made on the proposal. 1. The project is to be built on an international river with Mozambique having more than half of the rights over the water. Further the scheme involves structures on the Mozambique side of the river. These require discussions between both governments and possibly a cooperative agreement between the two countries 2. It is not known whether similar studies have been done by Mozambique to implement Sunda falls to supply small towns in Mozambique. If this is the case, then the power produced will have to be shared and the dependable capacity available for Tunduru will be reduced. 3. The Sunda falls site was visited by SECSD team. The access is very difficult and in some cases steep slopes have to be negotiated apart from crossing a number of streams. However, in the cost estimates only 0.9km has been shown against access roads, It is hence necessary to include in the estimates the cost of bridges, considerable distance of new roads etc which would affect the cost estimates. 4. The minimum flow at Sunda falls has been estimated to be 22 cumecs based on proportionate increase in catchment over Muhiga. As the river is very wide, SECSD (P) Ltd. 3-6 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION for nearly 375 km, the dry season flow is spread over a wide area and evaporative losses would be considerable and hence the dependable flow needs to be verified by establishing gauge site near the project site 5. The transmission distance is considerable and the cost of transmission is more. It is also felt that significant recurrent costs will be incurred in maintenance of access road and transmission. 6. The contemplated diversion structures to plug the channels of the river are very small and subject to over topping by floods of considerable magnitude in the monsoons. Further it is not certain whether they will be able to withstand the huge floods expected at this location. 7. The quantities presented in the civil works estimate are considerable. For example over 50, 000 cubic meters excavation for the headrace and tailrace canals and 7000 cubic meters for the power house. Another 14,000 cubic meters of earthwork is involved for the diversion weir. Due to the above quantities, the project cost ranges from $3750 per kW for a 3000kW plant to $ 5925 per kW for a 1540kW plant. The above suggests that if the installed capacity is increased, the unit cost may come down. This has not been studied in the report. 8. In spite of the natural head, the quantities of civil works are considerable. For a lesser quantum of the above civil works quantities, it is possible to have an alternative project nearer to Tunduru and within Tanzania to give same power and energy. 9. The power house with the long shafts etc can be substituted with submersible generators with cylindrical gates as shown in figure 3-2. 10. Considerable power is likely to be lost in transmission and capacitors would be required in Tunduru to contain the voltage drop. 11. The study does not give simulation of the operation of the power station with parameters such as monthly power, energy, turbine discharge, water levels, losses for different hydrological conditions SECSD (P) Ltd. 3-7 muh*nal.doe TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 12. The energy cost of 10 to 15 cents assuming 10GWh average energy for discount rates from 6% to 10% is high. TANESCo will have to sell the power at a loss as average tariff Is about 7 cents per kWh. If the present demand of IGWh is to be served in Tunduru then energy cost will be very high and debt repayment will be difficult. Thus the financial benefit cost and financial rate of return is low. 13.As the civil works are extensive, especially with considerable excavation and concrete, if the projected cost escalation takes place, then the cost of installed capacity can become prohibitive. On the basis of the above results, one can conclude that only if the project is financed under soft term loan will the projects life cycle benefit cost be greater than one and energy will be economically produced. For project type funds the benefit cost is less than one and the energy produced is very expensive due to the debt service. Large deficits in cash flow also arise. The above hence clearly rules out the participation of IPPs and even funding from World Bank. The afore mentioned project configuration was not implemented. The primary reason was probably inability to secure the requisite funds from a suitable donor country. The economic and financial analysis also appear to be far from satisfactory. The project is also not suitable for implementation by TANESCO as it imposes a heavy financial burden due to restricted demand in the initial years. In order to make the project suitable for IPPs and to reduce the financial burden If TANESCO wants to implement the project, the design should be such that the following criteria are satisfied. 1. The project should be such that water rights are entirely vested with Tanzania so that the project can be constructed easily and quickly. Even with the demand less than the potential of the project that is rising from a base market demand of 6 GWh, with low growth of 2.5% p.a, the cost of production should be less than 10 cents per kWh so that the implementing agency and financing agency are willing to take up the project as large deficits do not arise. SECSD (P) Ltd. 3-8 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 2. The financial benefit cost ratio based on the project benefits as determined from the market value for energy should be high so that the implementing agency makes a profit from the project development. 3. In case the demand rises rapidly, the project should be able to meet the demand for a reasonable period. So the design should be such that extra capacity can be added at suitable intervals. 4. Implementation period should be reduced so that the IDO and cost escalation do not increase the cost of the project. 5. Locally available materials should be used so that cost can be cut down. Use of concrete should be reduced as cost of cement and transport are expensive. 6. Simulation of the operation of the power station for.low, high and mean runoff years with all relevant features such as monthly power, energy, water levels, hydraulic losses etc should be given. 7. As the region is sparsely populated, with widespread towns, transmission costs are significant with attendant losses. The project design should be such that the costs of transmission lines and losses are reduced. 8. The site on Muhuwesi river has been summarily rejected without establishing hydrology or the power potential. In contrast, the site is readily accessible and has good potential. The flow is confined to a single channel making it easy to construct the project. Transmission distance is one third that for Sunda falls and the terrain is flat with good access making maintenance easy. It Is necessary to study the Muhuwesi site further. 9. If the criteria as per the SWECO report is natural drop, similar drops are also available on Muhuwesi which is closer to Tunduru and whose catchment is also entirely in Tanzania. For lesser civil works quantities than those estimated for Sunda falls, these drops can be exploited for hydropower. In updating the above feasibility study, so that the above criteria are satisfied, SECSD have revised the layout as per the guidelines and findings enumerated SECSD (P) Ltd 3-9 muhfinal.doe TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION earlier with the objective of reducing the implementation cost and considerably improving the economics. This revised layout is discussed briefly in the chapter four and elaborated further in the remainder of this report.

The preliminary dimensioning was carried out with a set of equations as well as database of turbine data obtained from various manufacturers. Section 2 Turbine Part I Dimensions On the basis of detailed hydrological studies it has been decided that the power plant will consist of two units of 1000 kW each so that maximum energy can be produced. The maximum net head for the plant at full load is about 17.6m. The minimum operating head will be about 16.25m. The most important factor in the dimensioning of the power house are the size of the turbine and generator. For the given parameters Q, Hm,, Hmin obtained from the power and energy studies, a vertical tubular Kaplan type hydraulic turbine is considered, with fixed wicket gates and adjustable runner blades. The adoption of this type is advantageous from the small size of the plant and operational point of view with the variation of discharge and the requirement to adjust power output according to the load demand. As compared to the types with fixed runner blades, higher order of efficiency is achieved. The distinct feature is the absence of the spiral case, with the runner being located in a tubular steel water passage. This gives rise to considerable reduction in the size of the equipment and power house. Another advantage is that the units are usually supplied assembled as a package so that installation is simplified at site. The equipment is pre designed in a range of standardized sizes so that they have the following advantages. * The design cost is spread over multiple units and hence equipment Is cheaper * Economies of scale are obtained In manufacture * Utilizes commercially available components * Simplifies feasibility studies SECSD (P) Ltd. 10-1 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION * Time required for supply of equipment is usually very short. * Simplifies engineering and construction. * Simplifies equipment selection by customers * Equipment Peformance is known prior to manufacture Rigorous attention should be paid to cavitation resistance of the runner blades, this undesirable effect prevented by selecting a low running speed or by placing the runner at a sufficient depth below the downstream water level. The required value has been safely figured through 'manufacturer's model tests. In the present design, the runner center line has been placed about 0.5m below the minimum tailwater level and a lower running speed is selected to minimize excavation. The type of turbine chosen for installation places more exacting demands on the draft tube which conveys the water coming from the blades of the runner. By model investigation it is possible to determine exactly the optimum shape of the draft tube, so that the flow is uniform under any service condition and shows no Irregularities whatever. The draft tube profile shown In the drawing Is as per current practice. The operation of the turbine is smooth and quiet, without oscillations that would adversely affect the electric power output of the generator. The dimensions of the turbine were calculated based upon experience curves. The resulting dimensions were then compared with actual equipment manufactured and installed for similar hydraulic conditions. The results were in close agreement. Any further small final changes in the dimensioning of the equipment will not materially affect the civil works quantity estimates which are used to work out the implementation cost. The trial specific speed is given by n,' = 2334/4hd = 2334/417 = 566.09 rpm (typical values for Kaplan units) A trial specific speed of 566 rpm was fixed. Trial speed n' - n.' x Hsm / 4P where P is in metric horsepower. A turbine output of 1000kW corresponds to 1322 mhp where H = 17 m, P = 1322 mhp SECSD (P) Ltd. 10-2 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION So n' = 537.4 rpm Nearest synchronous speed = 500 or 375 rpm for poles = 12 or 16 Standardized Tubular turbines usually have a gearbox to step up speed and have a higher running speed for generator. Step up ratios upto 2.5 are used. Generator speeds are usually 750 or 1000 rpm. For turbine speed of 500 rpm, generator speed of 1000 rpm can be obtained with a 1:2 step up gearbox. Thus Design Specific speed = n. = (nx P)/H" = 526.65rpm Discharge coefficient 4= 0.0233n,a = 1.5515 Diameter = 84.47 4H/n = 1.080 m. Based upon the operating conditions which are to be met it has been decided that the turbine will have a runner of 1080mm diameter. The standard recommendation by the manufacturer was the same unit. Thoma's Cavitation coefficient a - n,"6/50,324 - 0.577 The elevation of the power house area = 420m Atmospheric pressure H, - 9.847m of water at elevation 420m. Mean temperature of river water - 250C Vapour pressure H, = 0.324 m of water Barometric pressure Hb = Ha - Hv = 9.847 - 0.324 = 9.523 m of water. Hcr= critical head = 17.0 m (= (plant sigma) = 0.58 (in the final design stage when the manufacturers sigma is obtained the plant sigma may be fixed). However this will not result in any major changes in the excavation volumes for the power house. SECSD (P) Ltd. 10-3 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION H. (suction head) = Hb - cp H.r = -0.35m Now average minimum tailwater level = 420.0m from power study. Elevation of turbine runner = TWL +Hs = 419.65m. The elevation Is fixed at 419.65m. Part II Specifications The tubular housing of the turbine is made up of steel plates. The casing is stress relieved with internal ribs. An access hatch or inspection porthole is provided. The guide vanes are of fabricated steel with radial vanes which support the guide bearing located within a water tight housing. The turbine throat ring is a fabricated steel extension of the vaned intake and both are provided with necessary anchorage for embedding . Lubricating oil supply and drain pipes for guide bearing are part of the vanes which are shaped for optimum hydraulic performance. The guide vanes are cast in 13/1 Nickel Chromium stainless steel. The guide vane end sealing plates and throat ring below the runner are clad with stainless steel thus the whole of the flow passages in the region of high velocity from speed ring to draft tube are of stainless steel. The lower part of the turbine shaft where it extends through the vaned intake is of a special design to accommodate a water lubricated bearing within the standard vaned intake. The necessary strainers, flow indicator and piping to the water lubricated bearing are included. An adequate supply of clean water is required. The turbines are fitted with a runner having four blades, of cast steel 13 % Chromium, 4 % Nickel. The runner is of adjustable blade type with steel hub and blades. The adjustable blade operating mechanism consists of steel levers attached to the blade trunnions. The levers are connected by steel links to the crosshead which interlocks all the blades at the same angle. It is positioned by the blade operating rod which extends through the turbine shaft to a hydraulic blade positioner located on the outboard side of either the speed increaser or generator. SECSD (P) Ltd 10-4 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The runner hub linkage and blade trunnions are supported on bronze bushings which are lubricated by oil from within the hub. The hydraulic blade positioner consists of a pivot mounted on hydraulic cylinder and a double lever on a rigid support. The cylinder is controlled by either a speed frequency governor, load controller, or a head water level sensing control. The latter automatically adjust the runner blade angle to provide appropriate turbine discharges and power outputs to properly maintain the headwater level within a pre established adjustable control range. Any of these control devices may be provided with remote indication and/or remote override controls in addition to local manual controls. The turbine shaft Is of tubular design for optimal torsional and lateral stIffness. The shaft is fabricated from seamless mechanical tubing with steel flanges. A stainless steel sleeve is provided at the packing box. A shaft extension is provided from the runner hub into the upstream bearing and another extension is used In conjunction with the outboard combination guide bearing and thrust bearing if the unit is direct connected. The upstream turbine bearing, as well as the main guide and thrust bearing where necessary are of self aligning spherical or tapered roller type. These bearings carry all mechanical and hydraulic loads imposed by the turbine. They can compensate for mis alignment upto 1.5 degrees, have a minimum L-10 life of 100,000 hours and are oil bath lubricated. The draft tube Is of high energy recovery, elbow type fabricated from plate steel. Stiffening ribs are provided to minimize distortion and vibration. The top portion is removable (bolted) for access and or removal of the runner and shaft. The shaft packing box with an adjustable gland is mounted on the draft tube elbow and uses conventional woven square packing. The speed increaser will be located between the main turbine shaft and generator to provide a suitable step up ratio from the design turbine speed to the generator speed. The speed increaser will contain the upper guide and thrust bearing which will have a minimum L-10 life of 100,000 hours. The housing will be of steel SECSD (P) Ltd. 10-5 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION construction reinforced in high load areas. All shafts will comply with limits set by various standards for shaft stresses, finishes and tolerances. The gears and bearings are lubricated by the same lubricant. An adequate supply of oil for initial filling of the speed increaser is provided. A sight gauge is provided on the housing. An oil pump is provided to circulate the oil wherever splash lubrication is not suitable. The speed increaser will have a hollow bored low speed shaft to accommodate the blade positioning rod. A bell crank lever arrangement will be provided to adapt the standard blade positioners to the vertical blade control rod position. An integral oil cooling system is provided when necessary. If cooling water Is required, provisions will be made for attachment to the purchaser's supply. Efficiencies of approximately 98.5% are obtained in the single reduction units. A rigid coupling is provided for connecting the turbine shaft to the low speed shaft of the speed increaser. A flexible coupling is provided to connect the generator to thehigh speed side of the speed increaser. This type of coupling accommodates small amounts of lateral and angular misalignment. Apart from these usually included in the scope of supply will be drainage system, cooling water and oil supply system and one set of special tools and equipment. Part Ill Control The generating unit will be equipped with an automatic control enabling start up or shut-down through depression of a single push button. This automatic control also permits a shut-down of the set in case of any breakdown which might call for such an immediate shut-down. All of these controls are normally integrated into the governor which will be of the electronic digital hydraulic type with electronic speed sensing and stabilizing circuits and hydraulic valves to control the position of the servo motors. The regulators which control the turbine are designed to warrant a uniform and balanced run of the turbines under any service conditions, at an equivalent rated speed. In case of important and rapid alternations of the turbine load, temporary alterations of speed within specified limits must be allowed for. SECSD (P) Ltd 10-6 muhfinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The regulators themselves are envisaged to be of an electric type with an electronic hydraulic converter to the power part of the regulator which acts upon the control equipment of the turbine. The response of the regulators Is high, so that the generating unit immediately responds to the slightest alteration of conditions in the system. As an accessory equipment of a regulator there are pumping sets including pumps and air chambers with a reserve of regulating oil In such a quantity as to safeguard a shutdown of the turbine under even the most unfavourable conditions. In some cases of variant design, where it would not be advantageous to Install quick operating emergency gates on the intake, the regulating mechanism is fitted with an additional safety air chamber which might replaoe the emergency gates. Section 3 Generator The generator parameters are determined by the outlet output of the turbine and by the needs of the power system. Excitation for the generator will be obtained by rectification of the generator ac voltage by means of electronic three phase rectifiers. The generator shall be designed by taking Into consideration the voltage conditions of the system to which the power plant will be connected, all estimated power station consumption and their average power factors. On the basis of these, the proposed generator power factor is cos y =a 0.85. This generator power factor also corresponds to the demand for reactive power of the 33 kV system. The generator is driven by the turbine and located above the turbine. All forces and torques occurring are transmitted into the concrete structure by the turbine housing. The generator is synchronous type. A speed Increaser Is Incorporated in order to take advantage of the lower cost of a higher speed generator. Hence, the generator combination guide and thrust bearing is replaced by the speed increaser which itself has the necessary shaft support bearings and thrust capability. SECSD (P) Ltd. 10-7 mN iLdoe TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The stator yoke is of welded box type construction fabricated from steel plates and steel members. The stator core laminations are die punched from thin, specially rolled pre coated electrical sheet steel. The stator windings are of the double layer lap type with Class B insulation are better. The rotor spider is of steel construction. To facilitate synchronization starting with the turbine, a connected damper winding is provided consisting of several round copper bars in each pole head. The design is adequate to withstand runaway speed. Generator cooling air is taken in by the shaft fans from the generator room, from each side of the stator. Rated generator capacity is based on cooling air into the generator not exceeding 40 degrees C. For most units, a brushless exciter is used and is mounted on the outboard end of the generator frame. A static voltage regulator is included to control the voltage of the synchronous generator by varying the current supplied to the exciter. A static excitation system will be used when brushless exciters are not available. Section 4 Transformer Both the units will work into a single power transformers. The power transformer will be three phase step up 6.6kV/33kV rated at 2.5 MVA. It will be installed outdoors. Under the transformers a sump will be provided to trap the oil which might leak out of the transformers. The HV bushing will have the CT built in. A short cable will connect the generator to the transformer. The transformer will be oil immersed and cooled by air. A surge arresting device will be provided at the transformer to protect the transformer. Section 6 Intake Equipment The intakes to the power conduit are fitted with coarse and fine screens. Cleaning of the fine screens is afforded by a screen rake traversed along the intake structure crest. Emergency shut-off of the intakes is provided by vertical-lift gates, suspended in the grooves provided for them in each intake. The gates are operated by a hydraulic cylinder hoist. For manipulation of the mechanical equipment of the Intakes, hoisting mechanisms and devices are provided (trestles used for erection, stoplog cranes or similar equipment). SECSD (P) Ltd 10-8 muhfnal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION An intake closure device to provide tight shut off of the water passageways while the unit is shutdown Is provided. In addition, it must be able to provide for emergency shutdown in event of loss of load or any other malfunction. For some applications, it may be used for throttling the flow to provide a reduced net head on the turbine during start up. The intake closure device and its operating mechanism must therefore be carefully selected and designed to meet the necessary operating conditions. Butterfly valves located in the power house as shown are envisaged. Hydraulic operators are generally recommended since with a stored energy system they can provide reliable emergency closure upon loss of power. Dual speed opening and closing valves can be provided. A common pressure system provides energy to operate both the valve and adjustable turbine blades. The valve operator is sized to assure closure against turbine runaway speed discharge. Generally, rubber seals are recommended along with stainless steel seating surfaces and self lubricated trunnion bearings. Standard commercial products are used whenever available and suitable. Section 6 Auxiliaries The correct operation of a turbine is assisted by accessory mechanical equipment Installed within the premises of the power plant. This equipment comprises the following units: 1. Lubrication system consisting of oil pumps, oil filters etc. Lubricating oil, which, during its passage across the surfaces of the bearings of a generating set removes the heat produced there, is cooled down as it continues its passage, filtered and restored to the bearings. In the case under review the lubricating circuits are designed separately for the thrust bearing of the generating set including the upper guide bearing of the generator. The bearings are even submerged in an oil bath, a perfect and close contact between the oil and the contact surfaces thus being fully ensured. The turbine bearing has also a separate lubricating system dimensioned so as to warrant a safe and trouble free run of the hydraulic turbine. SECSD (P) Ltd. 10-9 MuINAl.dC TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 2. The cooling system serves to cool down the heated-up lubricating oil, take over all its heat and remove It, by way of the water discharged to the stream bed, Heat transfer is accomplished by contact of the cooling water in the pipes with the oil coming from the bearings, this direct contact between the two elements being produced in coolers. 3. The cooling water should be free from any sort of contamination. It Is obtained straight from the penstock, since the existing pressure is sufficient to ensure an ample flow volume for cooling. Prior to being put to this use, the water is passed through water filters. 4. The system of draft tube unwatering by pumping Involves primarily the pumps situated in a shaft into which there is channelled the water from the draft tubes whenever an inspection of the mechanical equipment has to take place. The pumps have been dimensioned so as to obtain the dewatering of the draft tube in the time specified, under consideration of seepage past the gate joints. 5. The equipment for dewatering the power plant premises primarily comprises the pumps situated in the lowermost compartments of the power plant to which all seepage water from the power plant premises is drained. The equipment works automatically according to the seepage water level in the shaft. The water is then evacuated by pumps to the downstream river tract. 6. The oil system comprises, In the first place, oil reservoirs for lubricating and regulator oil and vaseline storage. The oil conservation system comprises portable oil pumps, filtering equipment etc. The extension of this system is not determined directly by the size of the generating set and no detailed design of the same has been undertaken in the study; in the next design stage it will be shown in more detail, 7. An oil pressure system Is provided for the blade positioner and Intake closure device. The system consists of a motor driven pump complete with pressure switches, accumulators, oil reservoir, control valves and necessary check, throttle and shut-off valves. The system operates at a nominal pressure range of 6Mpa to 7Mpa (900 to 1000 psi). The components are heavy duty, industrial grade. The initial oil supply for the pressure system is included. SECSD (P) Ltd. 10-10 muhnal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 8. The compressor plant contains, as the main item, a high-pressure compressor with an air chamber, where there is provided a pressure air reserve for the first charge of the air chambers of the pumping sets. Compressed air is also put to other uses, such as cleaning the equipment, etc. SECSD (P) Ltd. 10-11 muhnli.doc TABLE 10-1 STAGE-1 PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS OF ELECTROMECHANICAL EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT PARAMETER DESCRIPTION Turbine Type Tubular Kaplan type with adjustable blades, vertical installation Number of Units Two units Maximum Gross Head 18 80 meters Maximum Net Head 17 60 meters Minimum Net Head 14 67 meters Design Head 17 00 meters Rated Head 17 00 meters Rated Discharge 13 5 cubic meters per second Turbine Rating 1000 kW nominal Overload 5% Runner Diameter 1080 mm Speed 500 revolutions per minute Specific Speed 526 65 revolutions per minute Auxiliaries Hydraulically operated blade servomotors Governor Type Electronic - Digital Type Gearbox 1 2 step up oil immersed Inlet Valves Type Butterfly valves Size 1680mm Draft Tube Type Cone of Welded structural steel Liner reinforced by suitable ribs Generator Type Three Phase AC Synchronous Generator Frequency 50 cycles nominal Rating 1250 kVA Voltage 6 6kV (final choice left to manufacturer) Power Factor 0 85 Speed 1000 rpm Poles 10 Cooling Air cooled Coupling Flange coupling through gearbox Number of Units Two units Excitation Type Brushless Exciter (as recommended by supplier of alternator) Power Transformer Type Three phase Cooling Oil immersed and cooled by air, Rating 2 5 MVA Number of Units One unit HV Terminal 33kV bushing with CT built in muIESPO1 xisSheeti SECSD (P) Ltd Page 10-12 TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Chapter 11 Electrical Works Section 1 Description The electrical works consists of all the works associated with connecting the generator to the step up power transformer, transformer to switchyard and switchyard to the grid interconnection. The scope also includes design, supply and erection of the equipment required for control, protection and metering of the power station, lighting, and unit auxiliaries etc. In the power plant are installed two generators of 1250 kVA coupled to tubular Kaplan turbines. One 2.5-MVA, 6.6/33 kV power transformer Is located outside. General features of the electrical works are given in table 11-2. Section 2 Generator Part I Description The generator is mounted on the speed increasor. The cooling will be by forced means. A low voltage circuit breaker and isolator will be installed for disconnecting one of the generators from the generator bus for service or inspection and located in the control cabinet. Each generator is connected to the 6.6kV bus through a generator circuit breaker. Each generator neutral may be connected to earth by a reactor if necessary to limit the short circuit currents. The generator windings are protected differentially. Part II Protection The following system of protection is considered sufficient for the generator. 1. DIfferential relay, common also for the block transformer and also working when an inside as well as outside short-circuit fault of the generator occurs in the protected section i.e. the section between the current transformers. 2. Instantaneous over current relay which serves as a back-up protection for the differential relay. In order to prevent a faulty operation of this relay in case of an outside short circuit, its operation is interlocked by an under voltage relay, SECSD (P) Ltd. 11-1 uhl*W.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 3. Over voltage relay operating during a sudden generator voltage increase e.g. when over speeding or a failure of the voltage regulator, occur in the generating set, 4. Time over current relay to protect against an overload of the generator and signal a dangerous current overload of the generator, 5. Field ground relay signals the occurrence of the first dead earth of the generator rotor, 6. Ground fault voltage relay. In addition to these the generator will be provided with a field circuit breaker. This extent of protection is sufficient for machines with fully automatic operation. In view of the relatively small machine output it is not necessary to have other protection (for instance split winding protection, double ground fault voltage relay, back-up watt relay). Section 3 Transformers Part I Power Transformer The block transformers are only fitted with lightning arresting device. The remaining Instruments of the outlets, particularly the circuit breaker and the isolating switches, are installed in side the 33kV switchyard. Part II Protection The transformer will be protected by 1. Differential relay (Fl), 2. Instantaneous over current relay which is considered as a back-up protection for the differential relay. It Is completed by an interlocking under voltage relay. The instantaneous over current relay is connected to the current transformers on the 33 kV side, 3. Oil pressure relay (Bucholtz protection), which acts when gases form in the transformer tank (for instance when the transformer temperature, Is excessively raised or when trouble occurs inside transformer) and reacts even SECSD (P) Ltd. 11-2 muhlinal.do TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION to the pressure of air in the transformer tank. It acts in two steps on the first of which it only signals and in the second switches the 33 kV circuit breaker off. Part III Station Transformer The station transformer is fed from the generator bus. In view of the small output of this transformer the Engineer recommends a protection by fuses on the H.T. side and a thermal over current coil and duly rated fuses on the L.T. side. Measurement of energy, current and power for station service Is proposed at station service consumption transformers. Section 4 Control Protection and Monitoring The one line diagram of the power station is shown in figure 11-1 titled Control, Protection and Metering strategy. The main step up power transformers are connected between the 6.6kV bus and the 33kV bus. It is differentially protected with the other usual protection arrangements. A terminal box is provided which encloses the leads, current transformers, surge capacitors and lightning arrestors. The generator Is provided with stator temperature protection installed in the stator winding with leads brought out to the terminals. Also bearing, temperature protection is included with a temperature detector located close to the bearing surface of each bearing. Each temperature detector is connected to an indicator with alarm terminals. A neutral grounding resistor is provided and is of the stainless steel edge wound type mounted in a personnel safe enclosure. A current transformer is provided for ground fault current indications. Control and monitoring cubicles are designed and built to relevant standards. Mounted on the front are protective relays, control switches, indicators and monitoring devices. Inside are relays, terminals, motor starter and control circuit breakers. The completed panels are factory inspected and tested, and a standard simulation test Is performed on the system before shipment. The outdoor accessory equipment includes a switchgear cubicle with horizontal draw out metal clad switchgear. This contains an air circuit breaker, capacitor trip device, potential transformers, current transformers, control power transformers and necessary fuses, switches, Indicators, heaters, receptacles and key interlocks A three phase power transformer is included to provide step up from the generator SECSD (P) Ltd. 11.3 mut.do TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION voltage to the transmission voltage and is throat connected to the switchgear cubicle. The high voltage side is either throat connected to the load switch cubicle, or is provided with suitable bushings for connection by others. The transformer is oil to air cooled and may have forced air provisions. The load switch cubicle encloses a load break disconnect switch, protective fuses and lightning arresters, terminals for utility connection and space for utility furnished metering equipment. The cubicle includes front doors and key interlocks. There is no separate control room and the equipment is situated in the machine hall with a view of bringing the entire electrical equipment together, an arrangement which involves notable operational and economic advantages (for example, the lengths of the connecting cables are kept down to a minimum), and the operators can readily and promptly effect an inspection and checkup of the entire equipment. For providing emergency station service consumption, a 5 kVA diesel electric set is installed. For provision of D. C. voltage an alkaline storage battery and charging system is also installed. It is necessary to ventilate the machine hall of the power plant in order to remove the part of waste heat of the generator which passes to the interior of the hall through convection and radiation. On the basis of the general design and control of the 33 kV power system in Tanzania and on the basis of local conditions, consideration was given to the possibility of the power plant operation with permanent attendance as well as without it. It has been decided to operate the Muhuwesi water power plant with permanent attendance for the following reasons : a) the mechanical and electrical equipment of the water power plant are relatively complicated and needs a continuous maintenance, b) in view of the size of the installed capacity and location. SECSD (P) Ltd. 11-4 muhftna.do TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION According to current practice the operation control of water power plants is either semi or fully automatic. In the first case the personnel carry out a large part of the operations by hand, I.e. starting the generating unit, connecting it with the power system, loading and shutdown. The generating unit is provided with control devices which in the case of an emergency signal a trouble state and when the trouble is serious the operator stops the generating unit. In the latter case however the starting and stopping of the generating units are automatic. This is achieved Vy an 'automatic equipment on receipt of a single control impulse. When the control of a generating unit is fully automatic the operation of the generating set is also controlled by automatic devices which signal trouble and if necessary shuts down the machine set. In both cases the operation of different auxiliary drives and equipment is fully automatic, for instance the pumping of leaking water or oil, the pressure boosting into the air-oil reservoirs of governors and Into receivers of compressor stations, the charging of accumulator batteries etc. After considering both options it is recommended to adopt a fully automatic control of the Muhuwesi power plant. This control has following advantages: a) Better machine safety as automation eliminates trouble caused by improper handling by the personnel. b) Improved power system operation by reducing undesirable machine trouble. c) Increase of power plant operation ability (i.e. flexibility) (for instance by decreasing the time needed for running up the generating set), possibility of remote control of the power plant from a secondary dispatcher's office at a later stage. d) reduction in the number of the service crew and lower demands on their qualification. The price difference between a fully automatic and semiautomatic generating unit is minimum. In other countries there are a great number of water power plants with fully automated operation running reliably. Fully automatic operation of the generating unit requires an automatic synchronising equipment an automatic voltage regulation of the generators and a reliable auxiliary supply for the power station. SECSD (P) Ltd. 11-5 muhlnal.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The automation of the machine operation will make it possible to centralise the generating unit control Into the control room, and to establish a system for remote control of the power plant operation from the dispatcher's office In the future. The extent of the measurement and recording of electric values may also be seen in drawing 11-1. This is in accordance with current practice and gives a complete survey of the immediate condition of the electric equipment. The control room will also have an alarm system with an audible and visual signalling of defects in the water power plant as well as in the switchyard. Preference will be given to a simple well-tested system which is modest in demands on space. Electric machines, the switchyard and the transmission line will be protected by electric protection relays which will assure the safe switching off of the outlet the moment any kind of trouble occurs and thus reduce the extent of possible damage to a minimum. The operation of protection relays will at the same time be signalled visually as well as audibly In the power plant control room. The extent of the protection is dealt with under each category of equipment Section 5 Switchyard The most suitable site has been chosen in order to make possible a connection with the power plant by means of a free line or cable and to decrease the necessary ground work to the smallest possible extent. The power inlet to the 33 kV switchyard is by a short cable. The switchyard is located as shown in the drawings showing the various project features The schematic of the switchyard is shown in figure 11-1. The single bus arrangement is preferred so as to be simple. The control power will be supplied by means of a cable from the power station. The entire switchyard will be fenced off and the fencing adequately earthed. Facility is provided to monitor the line flows. The design of the switchyard will have to be done in accordance with rules and regulations of TANESCO . In view of the proximity of the switchyard to the power plant it is recommended that the switchyard be remote controlled from the power plant. SECSD (P) Ltd. 11-6 mufh&aLdoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION This switchyard will in the final construction contain two inlet lines from the power plant and one outlet field to Tunduru substation. Further enlargement is not envisaged . The main grounding system will be grid type made of steel stripe galvanised In fire. The total ground resistance will be less than 1 ohm. In the cable routes between the switchyard and the power plant the outgoing earthing strips will be laid in a length of about 150-200 metres from the power plant In order to decrease an induced voltage occurrence at one-phase short-circuit faults, as well as their introduction by metal cable sheaths into the power plant. The whole area of the switchyard is to be fenced off. Inside the switchyard a safety fence is also proposed In places accessible to the staff during operation time and where the safety clearance to the energized parts was not maintained. Section 6 Transmission Part I Description The route follows the existing and planned roads as much as possible, so as to facilitate approach in the rainy season as major parts of the terrain along the route will be impassable to vehicles which may cause prolonged disruption in the event of damage to the line. From the power plant the route follows the power house access road upto the main road where it crosses the Muhuwesl and is situated on the left hand side till It reaches Tunduru. The main consumers of the power produced by the Muhuwesi facility are Tunduru town and surrounding villages as also villages on the route of the line. The route is shown in figure 4-5. In addition to the main load centres, the chosen routes will simplify the future electrification of villages. The total length of the transmission lines in this system is approximately 30 km and 33kV is selected even though 11 kV will make it easy to electrify villages on the route. But the regulation and efficiency of transmission were found to be poor. Almost all of the way along the route from Muhuwesi to Tunduru is made up of relatively dense forest with minor areas of open land. The route is mostly SECSD (P) Ltd. 11-7 muhfnaldoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION moderately undulating, although there are also some extensive flat areas. The soil is firm along the entire route except for minor areas. Before a detailed design of these foundations can be executed, soil survey on the tower sites will have to be done. The distances and conductor details are given below. The details of the transmission line support are shown In figure 11-2. The towers can be either of steel or wood poles. The performance of the line was evaluated for transmission of entire 2000kW to Tunduru for both 11 kV and 33kV. The 11kV option requires capacitors at Tunduru to avoid an excessive voltage drop apart from requiring large conductors. As 33kV voltage exists in Tanzania, It Is preferred to have 33kV single circuit towers. Creosote treated wooden poles are recommended. The conductors are proposed to have an area of about 35 sqmm. Average span is about 300ft The conductor size Is such that total generation of 2000kW can be transmitted to Tunduru with maximum voltage drop not exceeding 10%. The performance of the main line Muhuwesi - Tunduru for 2000kW total load at power factor of 0.85 lagging is given in table 11-1. The line parameters and other features are indicated. It is seen that for a load in Tunduru of 2000kW at 0.85 pf lagging, the sending end voltage is 1.073 pu or in other words the voltage drop is 7.32%. The transmission efficiency is 80.8%. For loads upto 1000kW the voltage drop is only 3.66% with 90% efficiency. Performance at other loads Is indicated In Box 11-1. SECSD (P) Ltd. 11-8 muhftal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Box 11-1: Power Loss and Voltage drop In Transmission Line Generation Loss Power factor Voltage Drop Efficiency (kW) (kW) (lag) (%) (%) 250 7.20 0.85 0.915 97.118 500 28.05 0.85 1.829 94.390 750 61.35 0.85 2.745 91.820 1000 106.10 0.85 3.660 89.390 1500 226.80 0.85 5.491 84.880 2000 383.00 0.85 7.322 80.818 Part II Protection of the Line With regard to the radial nature of the line sections the protection by distance relaying and or over current relaying is sufficient for all tine troubles. It is not necessary to supplement it by another back-up protection. Section 7 Substations A Substation in Tunduru is necessary to step down the voltage and distribute power. The single line diagrams for the substations are shown in figure 11-2. The substation is proposed to be of the open type, with necessary buildings. The transformers and switchgear will be outdoors. Box 11-2: Features of Substations SUB STATION TRANSFORMER CAPACITY OUTGOING RATIO (kV) (MVA) SAYS TUNDURU 33/1110.4 2 4 Circuit breakers with protective relays will be beneficial both In reducing the number of outages and in protecting the system. Therefore, circuit breakers at the 33 kV level are proposed in front of the transformer at all substations. Line protection must be considered at the design stage. Circuit breakers with protective relays will be beneficial both to reduce the number of outages and from a SECSD (P) Ltd. 11-9 muial.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION protective point of view. The design of the substations is simple without too many redundancies. The project cost estimate does not include the rural 11kV lines which may be installed from Tunduru for service to villages beyond and surrounding Tunduru. Their costs are not high and can be included along with the costs of electrification of numerous villages on these routes.

The direct construction costs, and the estimated contingencies, are added to the environmental impact mitigation cost, engineering and administration costs, to yield,the total implementation cost. The-breakdown of the Implementation cost is therefore as follows Box 12-1: Components of Implementation Cost Item Amount CIVIL WORKS A Miscellaneous and contingencies 12 % 0.12 A TOTAL CIVIL WORKS 1.12 A EQUIPMENT B Miscellaneous and contingencies 5 % 0.05 B TOTAL DIRECT CONSTRUCTION COST D m 1.12 A +1.05 B OTHER COSTS Engineering (Investigations, Detailed Design and Construction Supervision) 5% 0.05 D Administration 3% 0.03 D TOTAL OTHER COSTS 0 = 0.08 D TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COST C = D + O ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION E TOTAL IMPLEMENTATION COST T = C + E SECSD (P) Ltd. 12-1 muhfinaLdoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The different elements of this table are described hereafter In each section. The cost estimate was based on the conditions prevailing in August 1999 and the currency of the estimates is US Dollar. To the Implementation cost is to be added the Interest during construction which depends on the source of the funds to give the project cost. This is dealt with in the chapter on Economic and financial analysis. Section 2 Civil Works The cost estimate for the civil works is confined to the major items of work involved in the diversion weir, waterway, power house, tailrace etc. Miscellaneous items of work such as painting, doorwork, windows, lintels, decoration, false ceiling, flooring are simply taken care of in contingencies for Civil Works. It is of the opinion that these items of work are negligible compared to the major items and their detailed inclusion at this stage is not necessary. The contingency allowance provided for these items is considered to be more than adequate. The aggregated unit prices used for the cost estimates of civil works include all direct costs of labour, use of construction equipment and materials Increased by overheads and profit, costs of any temporary storage facility Installation and clearance. The aggregated unit prices result from a collection and review of costs extracted from actual construction costs prevalent in the region. The prices reflect the geographical location of the site and its relative remoteness from main centres of economic activity. The actual quantities of works have been taken into account, and some variations of unit prices have been considered according to the quantities of works. The quantities and the aggregated unit prices for deriving the cost estimates are presented in table 12-1 Section 3 Electro-mechanical Equipment The cost of the main generating equipment i.e Turbine, Generator, Electronic Governor and static excitation system, was calculated, based on budgetary prices and offer obtained from reputed manufacturer for the same type of equipment ( 2 SECSD (P) Ltd. 12-2 muinul.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION or 3 units, of turbines of the tubular Kaplan type, vertical axis) increased by overheads to account for cost of transport from country of manufacture to port in Tanzania and then to project site.

SECSD (P) Ltd. 12-3 MUWW.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Section 4 Auxiliaries The following equipment and works are outside the scope of supply of electro mechanical equipment and are classified as auxiliaries and are separately accounted in the table 12-1. The items are * All electric connecting cables and bus bars and ducts. * Overhead crane, * Control Panels * Protection system * Ventilation, cooling and air conditioning * Synchronising equipment, * Power Transformer * Station service transformer, Emergency lighting, illumination and black start power, * UPS and Battery system * Fire fighting equipment The cost of the auxiliaries in the plant including all mechanical and electrical equipment of the power plant from the power intake to the power plant switching station (included) was calculated based on prices prevailing for similar equipment. Section 6 Hydro-mechanical Equipment The cost of the intake gates, spillway gates, inlet valves and draft tube gates was calculated on the basis of the area of fixed parts and moving parts, and on the following unit cost of metal work : The main groups of equipment to be installed within this section are : 1. Spillway crest gates with operating mechanisms 2. Inlet Valves with operating mechanism. 3. Draft tube gates The unit costs used for the equipment cost estimates include manufacturing prices, transportation and Installation costs. SECSD (P) Ltd. 12-4 nmuhado TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Gates etc. - $800 per sq.m. Inlet valves - Lumpsum Section 6 Switchyard The costing Includes the cost of land, land clearing, fencing, earthing, lighting, fire fighting, Main power transformer, Auxiliary transformer, switchgear and all other equipment required for the proper and reliable operation. The switchyard is 33kV. Section 7 Transmission The costing Includes the transmission lines and equipment for connection to the existing substations or new substations. The total transmission is about 30 km. It should be noted that cables/conductors are manufactured in Tanzania and hence costs will be lower than If Imported. Section 8 Miscellaneous and Contingencies The cost of construction as calculated by applying unit cost estimates to the calculated quantities of the works Identified for the main components of the project should be increased by a contingency allowance of 12% of the civil works and 5% of the hydro-electric equipment costs. These contingency allowances represent the miscellaneous expenses that have not been listed in the table on quantities and implementation and that which might not have been identified properly, especially when the topographical and geological conditions of the site, as well as the design of the works, have not reached the level of precision of later stages. Section 9 Engineering and Administration A provision of 5% of the total direct construction costs has been considered for engineering services until the end of construction. This amount includes further topographical survey, geological and geo-technical investigations, feasibility and detailed design studies, environmental impact assessment and resettlement program, supervision of construction etc. SECSD (P) Ltd. 12.5 muMli.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The cost of administration of the project by the Owner was estimated to be 3 % of direct construction costs. Section 10 Environmental Mitigation Further detailed topographic surveys are necessary to accurately assess the environmental impact. Prima facie it is evident from site visits that no significant impact will occur. At this stage an amount equal to 1 % of construction cost has been provided for environmental impacts. The percentage of the environmental costs for project will not exceed 1% of the total implementation cost. Section 11 Total Implementation Cost The total implementation cost as determined with the item wise break up is given in table 12-1. The implementation cost should still be regarded at this stage to incorporate a certain range of uncertainty , which has two origins : i) an uncertainty on the unit costs, which is related to the high variations in the actual tender prices commonly observed, and to the economic conditions that will prevail until the time of construction, and II) an uncertainty of a technical nature related to the exact natural conditions which prevail on the sites (with a particular influence of geology), and which will gradually be better known as investigations and studies proceed until the time of construction. This range of uncertainty is estimated to be from - 15 % to + 20 % . The project Is economically and financially viable even with this range of uncertainity with respect to the Implementation cost.

The Benefit Cost ratio method is used to evaluate the economic feasibility. The benefit is defined as the discounted value of all future net profits without considering taxes and the cost is defined as the discounted sum of all expenditures incurred in planning, designing, constructing and operating the project over its economic lifetime. The benefit from the project is from the sale of energy which it generates. For comparing this with the costs Incurred and derMng the economic benefit cost ratio, it is necessary to fix a suitable monetary value for the energy which is produced. In this case, it is fixed as the avoided cost of energy produced by the next least cost option which is usually from a diesel set providing an equivalent capacity and energy which would have to be implemented instead of the proposed hydropower project. Another fact to consider Is that the project is likely to give other benefits such as fisheries, recreation etc. But from the point of view of the IPP these are considered as intangibles and the benefit Is considered to be insignificant. The benefit cost must be at least one for the project to be economically viable. As the project may be implemented on non recourse financing in which the lenders and investors treat the project assets as a collateral, the financial analysis is carried out to determine cash flows and is the most important study for the project developers, the lenders and Investors. The financial analysis hence shows the pattern of cash flow which the project provides over its economic life. It also determines the ability to pay the debt service, operating and maintenance cost streams and brings out any cash flow deficits which may arise. Ideally the net cash flow should be an Inflow as otherwise other short term loans have to be negotiated to cover these deficits during project operation. In evaluating the cash flow, all expenditures such as debt service, operation and maintenance, depreciation, income from sale of electricity are lumped into end of year payments SECSD (P) Ltd. 13-1 NuitAn.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Section 2 Economic Analysis Part I Assumptions To carry out economic analysis, It Is necessary to determine the economic value of the energy generated from hydropower. This is done by calculating the avoided cost of generation of an equal quantum of power and energy obtained from a diesel plant of 2000 kW located in Tunduru. The transmission cost will be negligible. Total annual cost for hydro and diesel plant are computed and the energy cost from each is calculated as follows. Diesel cost is calculated based on 11871iters 1ton.

It is assumed that the entire cost of the project is met from borrowed capital. The interest rate is taken to be 10% and the loan return period Is 10 years (typical values from International Financial Institutions for loans to project developers). SECSD (P) Ltd. 13-2 nuhial.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Based on this the capital recovery factor Is about 16.27%. Based on the 24 month construction period, the IDC is US$ 0.788 million. Total cost is then obtained by adding the two amounts which is USD 5.576 M. Similarly the total annual costs of the diesel plant are calculated as shown In Box 13-1. The World Bank has recently started taking the C02 pollution cost of thermal stations into the economic analysis. It has recommended a value of US$20/t of CO2 emitted which comes to 1.3 US cents/kWh. From the above, it can be seen that if the market demand for energy starts from 1.6 GWh, then the cost of generation from diesel set is 15.01 US cents/kWh. In case the diesel set produces 14.5GWh which is the energy from the hydro, then the generation cost from diesel comes down to 13.54 cents/kWh. For any intermediate conditions the average is computed which is 14.27 cents/kWh. Based on this and initially without applying discounting, the following first year benefits can be calculated. Box 13-2: Economic Feasibility without considering lifetime costs/benefits Economic Price of Energy US cents/kWh 13.54 14.27 15.01 Energy from Hydro GWh 14.5 10.0 1.6 Value of Benefits MUSD 1.963 1.427 0.240 Costs MUSD 0.837 0.837 0.837 BIC ratio 2.345 1.708 0.286 Discounting is now applied with the following additional data so as to calculate lifetime costs and benefits with the above economic values of energy, An inflationary factor of 5% p.a has been included in the calculations for the economic price of electricity as well as the Operations and Maintenance cost streams. This is justified because the diesel fuel has to be transported over a long distance and hence inflation is likely to affect the transport costs. The analysis is done as given in section on methodology. The following critical conditions were also examined where the sale of energy is limited to 3 GWh in the first year and rises at a low growth rate of 2% p.a. The following are the base case conditions SECSD (P) Ltd. 13-3 msnal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Cost = 4.88MUSD, IDC = 0.78 MUSD, Interest = 10%, Payback = 10 years, Discount = 12%, Inflation = 5%. The cases examined are Indicated in box 14-3 wherein the changes from the base case condition is indicated with a 'T.

Of particular interest is case 1 where the demand does not increase from the initial 3GWh per year for a discount rate of 8%. The Benefit cost ratio for this case is 1.166. Case 6 is when the initial demand of 9GWh does not grow nor is there a price rise in diesel cost. Finally case 10 is for maximum energy production from the project shows the benefit cost ratio to be 4.018. Section 3 Financial Analysis The financial analysis is indicated in table 13-1 for one case, with the conditions indicated in the table. The purchase price for electricity in the base year is taken as US$ 0.07 per kWh. This is the current average tariff prevalent in the area, and is the rate which can be readily obtained from sale of power. Section 4 Methodology Based on the above, a computer program was used to perform the analyses and the results are presented in the table 13-1. The table brings out the debt service, SECSD (P) Ltd. 13-4 miuhAn.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION depreciation, operation and maintenance and revenue flow as well as the discounted flows. A brief description of the model is given below. The capital Cost of the Project is given by C as determined from the unit costs of materials and quantities. For the project then C a 4.828 M$ (1) The Interest paid during construction Is computed based upon the disbursement of the loan over the construction period as explained in the foregoing section IDC = I + 12 (2) where i1 = Cii, where C, = 0.5C (3) 12W (Ii + C1 +C2)i . WhereC2= 05C (4) and I is the interest rate (cost of capital) = 10% pa. so that C1+C2 =C (5) Hence Total Capital Cost P=C+ $ (6) The loan Is assumed to be recovered In 10 equal payments. Hence the annual payment in the nth year is L, = P i(1 + I)r"/((1 + I)" - 1) $ for 1<= n <= 10. L 0 $ for n >10 (7) where multiplier term above is also called as the capital recovery factor. The mean annual Energy Output as determined from the power and energy studies SECSD (P) Ltd. 13-5 ml.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION E, = 14,500,000 kWh (8) All the energy which can be produced cannot be marketed as the demand is yet to grow. Hence the demand in the base year is given by Eb = 6,000,0000 kWh and growth rate by g = 2.5, 5% etc. Thus In any year n, En = Eb(1 + g)n kWh for E < Em and E = E, for E > Em for n = 0 to 29. The base price for electricity In the first year is T cents/kWh The escalation rate for the electricity price (e) = 5% where T - 15.01 US cents for economic analysis with demand - 1.6GWh T = 13.54 US cents for economic analysis with demand = 14.5 GWh and T = 7.00 US cents for financial analysis Thus e = 0.05 (9) In any year n after commercial operation starts, annual revenue Rn= ET(1 + e)" $ for n = 0 to 29 (10) The annual operation and maintenance expenditure Is I % of the capital cost of the project = 0.01 escalating at the escalation rate (e) In any year n after operation starts OMn= 0.01C(1+e)"$ for n -0to29 (11) Due to wear and tear of the equipment its necessary to account for depreciation. The depreciation Is accounted by setting aside equal yearly payments Into the bank such that at the end of the economic life the capital cost of the project is realised due to earning of interest. Dn= Cil((1 + i)" -1) where n = 30. (12) SECSD (P) Ltd. 13-6 Mul.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION The total net income in any year NIn = Rn - Ln - OMn - Dn (13) The present worth of any payment accruing in the nth year is given by multiplying the payment by the present worth factor PWF PWFn = 1/(1 + I)n (14) The present worth of the loan payment, depreciation, O&M and revenue streams are multiplied by the PWF to get the present worth of these future payments. These are then summed to get the total present worth of all these payments Thus total present worth of benefits from project B = ERnPWFn for I <= n <= 30 years (15) Similarly the total present worth of costs OM = EOMnPWF, for 1 <= n <= 30 years (16) The total lifetime costs S = P + OM (17) Benefit Cost Ratio - B/S (18) The Net Present Value NPV = B - S (19) The IRR Is determined by trying various values of I such that NPV = 0. The unit cost of energy over the lifetime of the project Is calculated by summing the present value of lifetime costs divided by c = (OM + D + P)/zEn (20) The cost of generation in the first year is given by L, + D, + OM/E, $/kWh. SECSD (P) Ltd. 13-7 muhminal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION For each year the cash flow is computed as Fn= Rn-L,-Dn -OMn (21) which when positive indicates net inflow and when negative indicates net outflow of funds. Above calculations are presented In the table and a brief description Is given here. Column labelled as %CC gives the percentage of total implementation cost expended each year. Column 1 gives the amount to be invested each year during construction and during the operating period. Column 2 gives the IDC. Column 3 gives the uniform annual payments required to service the project loan and is worked out by the capital recovery factor method. Column 4 gives the depreciation amount to be paid. This is worked out by assuming uniform payments which earn interest to give back the capital cost at the end of the economic life. Column 5 gives the O&M cost each year taking into account the inflationary rate. The costs in columns 3,4 and 5 are added and divided by the annual energy to give the cost of production of 1 kWh. Column 6 gives the revenue earned each year starting from the specified base year tariff which is increased each year by the inflationary rate. Column 7 gives the net income each years by subtracting the sum of columns 3,4 and 5 from 6. Column 8 gives the present worth factor obtained by using the specified discount rate. Columns 9, to 11 give the present worth of each annual payment such as the annual cost, energy cost, revenue and cashflow obtained by multiplying the corresponding value by the PWF. The last row of the table gives the total values in each column. The totals in columns 9 to 11 are the present worth of all future amounts. Section 6 Sensitivity Analysis Since some of the conditions assumed for the financial analysis may vary in actual practice, sensitivity analysis as below was carried out to determine the variation. A sample calculation for case No. 1 Is indicated in table 13-1. The results for the cases are presented in figures 13-1,13-2 and 13-3. All the cases show that very little on no cash flow deficits arise and the project is bankable.

Section 2 Supply of Materials and Equipment The construction of the power station and the related transmission facilities will require the hauling in of materials and construction equipment, electro-mechanical equipment (turbines, generators etc) and hydraulic equipment (gates etc). The longest and heaviest construction items are assumed to be the following Heaviest Article LongestArticle Prior to construction -Breaker about 25 tons During construction - Penstock lengths about 6m. Pre assembled turbine generator unit It is expected, that mechanical and electrical equipment shall be furnished in major items as follows : 1. Penstocks, Gates and Trashracks 2. Turbines, Governors, Cranes and Hoists 3. Auxiliary Mechanical Equipment 4. Generators 5. Transformers 6. Major Electrical Equipment 7. Equipment for 33 kV Switchyard. 8. General Materials These principal items may be furnished on special contracts. The items involved will be procured from three major sources 1. Imported Heavy Articles. This will consist of construction machinery 'not available in Tanzania, the electro mechanical equipment and major electrical SECSD (P) Ltd. 14-1 muflinal.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION equipment. All of these will be landed at the Dar Es Salaam harbour. Railway can be conveniently used for transport from the port to the Makumbako railway station and then by road to Songea with Intermediate storage If necessary. From here road transport to Tunduru Is the only alternative 2. Imported Light Articles. These articles which would consist of any sensitive equipment will be flown to Songea airfield and subsequently transported by road directly to site. 3. Domestically procured Materials: All equipment and materials which are locally available will be procured at Dar or other cities and transported suitably to the site. Section 3 Organisation The nature of the Muhuwesi Project is such that it is logical to divide Into major project features, executed if need be as follows under separate contracts, taking due consideration of local contractors and facilities which exist in Tanzania: 1. Access Roads 2. Housing and Facilities at the Site 3. River Diversion, Care of the River and Unwatering 4. Diversion Weir 5. Power Station 6. 33kV Switchyard 7. Transmission Line 33 kV 8. Receiving substation In Tunduru Section 4 Construction Schedule There is a rainy season in the months of December to May and a dry season from June to November. Consequently, it is necessary to adapt the sequence of construction operations to these climatic conditions. The greatest advantage possible should be taken of the dry season, particularly the months of September to November for the operations in the main river. In order to shorten the time taken for the construction, It Is necessary to accomplish, even during the rainy season, individual types of operations, such as rock quarrying, concrete work, and equipment installation. SECSD (P) Ltd. 14-2 mdlel .do@ TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION It is necessary to take into account that during the rainy season the average construction output is reduced. The entire construction of the hydroelectric project, according to the tentative schedule is estimated to take two years. To achieve this a highly mechanized approach to construction is contemplated. The following are the maximum rates of progress adopted for the estimation of the construction period. Box 14-1:Construction Rate item Units Rate Access Road km/day 0.5 Open Excavation with power shovels m3/day 150 Rock Excavation m3/day 50 Rock Excavation In River ms/day 30 Concrete Placement m*/day 20 Reinforced concreting m3/day 10 Shotcrete ml/day 10 Rockfill placement m3/day 15 Backfill m3/day 50 Transmission km/day 0.25 The sequence of construction of the hydroelectric project is divided into the following Items Part I Preliminaries It is assumed that either TANESCO will implement the project or it will be implemented by IPP. In the former case, the implementation will involve the issue of a bid document and evaluation of tenders. In the case of IPP participation, a formal structured RFP will be issued to which various IPPs will respond. In either case, about 12 months will have to be set aside for various negotiations and contractual arrangements to be finalized, final feasibility report preparation which may be required by various lending Institutions, additional field Investigations etc. The time frame which these are expected to take is given in the preliminaries heading of the implementation schedule in table 14-1. The actual contract for Civil SECSD (P) Ltd. 14-3 nmuhia.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION works and Electro mechanical equipment Is assumed to be issued by the project company twelve months after the decision to go ahead with the project is taken. Part 11 Preliminary Works This consists of the construction of access road, clearing the construction and the camp sites, excavation and grading of the areas around the site. The required camps can be constructed alongside the access road. Also included will be any temporary roads required for working the quarries or borrow areas. Suitable strengthening of the existing bridge is also included in the access works. The area to be occupied by the principal structures, such as the dam, the power plant, the spillway, the canal and the appurtenances to be constructed, together with the surfaces of all borrow areas, shall be cleared of all vegetation the material being used as construction wood or sold. The construction material required for the dam from sources other than from the excavations required for the construction, shall be taken from quarries/borrow pits. These shall be selected so as to lie as close to the point of utilisation as possible, in accordance with the results of the second phase of the survey. A concrete batching plant of about 50 cubic meters per day capacity will be installed at the site Adequate electric power will be required for the construction of the project. It Is estimated at about 250kW. The best method to obtain this power Is from a truck mounted diesel generator in the vicinity of the site. Both stationary and portable air compressors will be used. Power can be obtained from the distribution system which will be setup to convey construction power to various points at site. Water for construction can be pumped from the Muhuwesi river and stored In tanks prior to utilisation. Potable water may have to be brought by tankers from Tunduru. SECSD (P) Ltd. 14-4 ain.doo TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Part III Diversion Weir The river flow in the dry season is confined to the central part of the river channel with river bed rock exposed considerably at other sections. When preliminary works have been completed, a diversion channel near the right bank can be created using sand bags or other suitable method, so that the diversion weir area is rendered dry. The diversion channel will be used for bypassing the minimum flow occurring in the months of September to November from the central portion of the river so as to enable excavation for the spillway. Immediately after diversion, the main dam area shall be de- watered and there shall be initiated, excavation for the foundation of the dam near the center of the river. Concrete can be placed in the central portion upto an elevation of 432m. The excavation near the flanks can be taken up after this and made ready for placement of rockfill. At the end of the first dry season the two flanks of the diversion weir, and the central concrete portion upto 432m will be completed. The monsoon flows will then be passed over the concrete weir. During the monsoon construction activity will be diverted to the power canal, forebay and power house areas. In the second dry season, the river flow is again passed in portions of the concrete overflow portion and the weir completed upto 435m and the piers are taken up. The concrete slab on the upstream and downstream is also done simultaneously. At the end of the second dry season, the diversion weir will be completed. Thus it will take about 18 months for the completion. All materials for the foundations, in accordance with the first phase of the Investigation, are first classified as follows : Rock excavations include all solid rock that cannot be removed either by large power shovels or loosened by rippers without blasting. Standard excavations Include all the materials outside those Included in the rock excavations, that is, earth, gravel, loose or shattered rock fragments and all other materials that can be removed by the excavating machinery without blasting. SECSD (P) Ltd. 14-5 mulial.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Excavations in the river bed include all materials other than rock, to be excavated from the natural river bed. Excavations by means of blasting shall be performed only to a limited extension. It is presumed that all suitable materials from the excavation required will be used in the construction of embankments, riprap, cofferdam blankets or fill material. Excavated materials which will be found unsuitable or will not be required for further construction shall be dumped in dumping areas shown in the final drawings. These disposal areas shall be arranged so as to have a neat appearance. Part IV Waterway The waterway requires excavation of about 75000 cum. It is estimated to take about 15 months. Concrete of about 1500 cum is required. Concrete placement shall continue In parallel with excavation. The forebay requires an excavation of 3000 cum and 200 cum of concrete. The canal and forebay works can be done irrespective of the season. The penstocks in view of short length can be erected when the canal works are nearing completion. Part V Power House Immediately after the preparatory works are finished, there shall be erected around the power house site a temporary cofferdam built upto elevation of 423 m. The main river shall continue to flow in Its original channel undisturbed. Simultaneously with the construction of the cofferdam, the excavation of power house shall be carried out. The surfaces of all rock foundations, upon or against which concrete is to be placed, shall be conditioned so as to promote good bond between the rock and the concrete and to provide adequate and satisfactory foundations. The construction of the power house shall go undisturbed Irrespective of the season. In three months the entire excavation Is completed and the placing of the draft tube and welding of the structural components shall begin which will be the first items delivered by the equipment supplier. The entire concreting of the substructure shall take about 2 months. SECSD (P) Ltd. 14-6 nwhinal.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Subsequently, it will be possible to start Intense work on the superstructure of the power house. In the course of the first stage of construction, concrete shall be placed up to a minimum level of 423m for the power house. At the time when the main works of the machine hall with have been finished, the assembly of the main crane and then the installation of the turbine generalor equipment and the accessory equipment shall be started. Part VI Tailrace The tailrace involves relatively low excavation and concrete. It shall be Initiated when power house excavations are complete. Concreting is expected to take about 4 months. Part VII Switchyard Another structure, the completion of which Influences the commissioning of the power plant, is the switchyard. The earthwork shall be initiated while the excavations in the bedrock for the power house are In progress, In order to make possible the completion of the subsequent civil engineering part and electrical equipment installation at the time of the completion, that is, within the 18 months following the start of the work. Part VIII Transmission and Substation The transmission works can be done Independent of the other works. It Is estimated that it will take a total of about twelve months to complete the work. The local Tanesco office will be able to carry out most of the works involved. Part IX Final Works At about the time when the project is nearing completion there shall be initiated an intensive clean up operation which shall clear all waste materials and restore the site to its original conditions taking into consideration replacing any lost vegetation etc in the vicinity of the site. The commissioning of the power plant depends on the successful completion of all the civil and electrical works. The attainment of the minimum water level is not a problem as the storage provided is small. SECSD (P) Ltd. 14-7 muhMIAdoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION Based on the economical rates at which construction activities can be progressed for a project of this scale a preliminary project construction schedule has been drawn up and is presented in table 14-1.

The Tunduru district Is rather remote from the rest of Ruvuma region and development needs to be accelerated by provision of an economical and reliable source of electricity. 2. A preliminary study was conducted in 1982 by SWECO on development of Sunda falls for hydropower on the Ruvuma river as it is perennial and has a good flow throughout the year. 3. The study showed that in spite of the natural head, the project cost would be US$11.25 with significantly large quantities of excavation and civil works. 4. The study by SWECO recommended a diversion type development with an installed capacity of 3000 kW (2 x 1500kW) an energy output of 23GWh per year. Head for the plant is 13.5m and discharge is 26 cumecs. Implementation cost was about $3750 per kW in 1982 without IDC. 5. The project has however not been implemented. It is situated on an international river and requires approval by Mozambique and possibly may involve structures on the Mozambique side as also sharing of the electricity which is generated. The transmission distance to Tunduru is 65km and with the present demand of only about 500kW it is likely to be expensive. Considerable investment on improving the existing access roads for 20 to 30km are required. 6. As per the updated economic cost of energy, the benefit cost ratio for discount factor of 12% was calculated to be 1.24 for conditions given as above. 7. The financial benefit cost for the developer is less than one unless funding Is obtained on soft term basis. Energy production costs are also very high. 8. It is necessary to reduce costs if mini hydro projects are to be used to economically electrify the area. This will enable government to use its own funds in developing projects which will provide returns on investment. SECSD (P) Ltd. 15.1 muhtial.dee TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 9. Hence an alternative site on Muhuwesi river which Is 26km from Tunduru and is situated on the main road to Masasi is suggested for development. Three sites have been proposed for implementation In stages. The first stage Is called Kwitanda and is recommended for development to supply Tunduru. 10.The demand in the main load centre Tunduru has yet to develop to the full potential of 2000kW. Hence, market for power will be about 500kW with energy requirement of about 3GWh. Growth rate may be about 2.5% p.a. 11. The present study proposes a cascade development consisting In all of 3 small hydro power stations aggregating to 7000kW capacity with energy of 52 GWh. This will hence be sufficient for the region in the years to come. 12.Due to the revised planning, the construction cost of the first scheme is US$ 4.828M and IDC is US$ 0.786M. 13. The unit implementation cost will be reduced to $2420 per kW. The cost of energy from the project will be US cents 6.8 per kWh even with very stringent financing conditions. 14. The economic benefit cost ratio based on an economic price of 14.5 US cents per kWh (from alternative diesel set) shows the benefit cost ratio to be 2.32 (even for low initial demand). 15.The present average tariff charge by TANESCo In the area Is about 7 US cents per kWh. 16. The financial benefit cost for the developer based on conventional funding at 10% interest with payback period of 10 years, 12% discount rate, a tariff of 7 US cents per kWh escalating at 5% p.a and demand of 14.5 GWh with 5% growth is 2.71. Hence developers will be interested as the project provides profit. 17. From the view point of the present state of power supply In the district, it Is more desirable to implement a series of such small hydropower project close to the demand centre. The Stage 1 will be able to meet all of the capacity and energy demand of the town of Tunduru and other small villages. SECSD (P) Ltd. 15-2 mlil.dwoc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 18. The electric power produced at the stage I power station will be supplied to the new district grid and this will improve the electric supply demand and supply situations. 19. In order to expedite the implementation of this project, the layout Is such that, the times required for the detailed designs, financing and construction are kept to their practical minimum. It will be possible to commence commissioning of the stage I project in late 2002. The project expenditure and size is such that it is suitable for being financed by local government to economically electrify the district. 20. The construction of the reservoir will not result in the loss of valuable agricultural or grazing land. The lake will not inundate a populated valley necessitating the displacement of population. Therefore the cost of moving the inhabitants and of replacing the farm will not affect the total cost estimates. 21. The construction of dam and reservoir will not Interfere with fishing rights. As far as fish and wildlife are concerned the creation of the reservoir can only enhance the value of the area. 22. During construction and later during operation of the project sufficient quantities of water will be released to the downstream bed of the river. The operation of the hydro power station will not lead to a reduction in the downstream flow pattern. On the contrary, the construction of the cascade will ensure the regulation of flows to some degree. 23.The principal structures will be the diversion weir, intake structure, short waterway, powerhouse above ground and tailrace. No underground structures will be involved. 24. The power house will have two units of 1000kW tubular Kaplan turbines and produce 14.5 GWh of energy in an average year. The plant capacity factor is 82.75%. 25. The geological conditions for the various proposed structures are sound and have ample bearing capacity for all the structures. SECSD (P) Ltd. 15.3 Ael.doc TANZANIA-MINI HYDROPOWER STUDY RUVUMA REGION 26. The Tunduru district is very distant from Mbeya which has grid supply. It is also distant from Songea where hydropower supply is being planned. Hence extension of grid supply to Tunduru from either location will be uneconomical due to the small demand. Hence the proposed Muhuwesi cascade is ideally suited for meeting the demand of the district. 27. On the basis of the above, it Is recommended that the stage 1 project be taken up for implementation soon, so as to provide rapid electrification in the area.
