This helps in identifying critical zones in which GWR largely varies and thus leads to negative consequences. However, such analyses might not be possible when the models require detailed hydro-climate and hydrogeological data in data-scarce regions. Hence, this calls for alternate suitable modeling approaches that are applicable with the limited data and, however, includes the detailed assessment of the spatial–temporal distribution of different water balance components especially the GWR component. This paper aimed at investigating the spatial and temporal distribution of the GWR at monthly, seasonal and annual scales using the WetSpass-M physically distributed hydrological model, which is not requiring the detailed catchment information. In addition, the study conducted the sensitivity analysis of model parameters to assess the significant variation of GWR. The large-scale river basins such as the Omo river basin, Ethiopia, were chosen to demonstrate the potential of the WetSpass-M model under limited data conditions. From the modeling results, it was found that the maximum average monthly GWR of 13.4 mm occurs in July. The estimated average seasonal GWR is 32.5 mm/yr and 47.6 mm/yr in the summer and winter seasons, respectively. Further, it was found that GWR is highly sensitive to the parameter such as average rainfall intensity factor.

Variation in reference evapotranspiration (ET 0) can have impact on the crop of the area. Thus it is extremely necessary to understand the ET of the region before planning and management. Landuse type, soil type etc also have strong effect on ET of a river basin. In the present study FAO56 Penman-Monteith method has been used for estimating ET 0 for entire Madhya Pradesh from 1971 to 2000. The results indicate higher ET 0 during the month of May with highest being found in Indore (11.77 mm day-1). The months from April to June have considerably high ET 0 while other months have low ET 0. Minimum rate of evapotranspiration is observed in Jabalpur during the month of December. Among the 13 stations, Pachmarhi has the lowest ET 0 even in May (6.07 mm day-1). Thus wide variation in ET 0 distribution is observed in MP which is due to the effect of othe...

SGs are often overloaded through hydro-turbines by utilizing excess water flow in the river (e.g. 1000 MW Kancham Wangtoo hydropower station (India) at 20% continuous overloading condition for more than six weeks). This paper investigates the efficiency of a 277.8 MVA SG, through its loss models, under two operating conditions: (i) at rated load, (ii) at 20% overload. Temperature of cooling air inlet to the stator of SG (primary cooling) and the temperature of water inlet to the cooler (secondary cooling) are considered for the analysis. Simulated results are compared with a commissioned generator through the on-site measurements. From the test results, it is observed that the cooler performance (temperature of air leaving from the cooler) was poo...

Almost 83% of water is used in agriculture, 12% is consumed by industries and a mere 5% is used for domestic purposes. In the present study, the long term trend based on rainfall data of 115 years (1901-2015) was analyzed at annual and seasonal (pre-monsoon/summer, monsoon, post-monsoon/winter) scale. After checking for crosscorrelation in the data, Mann-Kendall test (MK) was applied, and in order to identify the trends, Sen's slope estimator was used and the overall percent change for the rainfall over the study area was calculated. To interpolate the spatial pattern, an inverse distance weighted interpolation method (IDW) was used using ArcGIS 10.2.2. The analysis showed a significant decrease in the trend of rainfall for annual and seasonal series during the entire time period.

Smooth starting, unity power factor, and better rotor current profile are the reasons, back-to-back voltage source converters are used in rotor side of the machine. Speed and power factor of DFIM are controlled through power converters in accordance with surplus power available in grid and water head of dam. This paper presents dynamic behavior of a 250 MW DFIM hydrogenerating unit, to be commissioned in 1000 MW Tehri pumped storage plant, operating in pumping mode. Further, the performance of pumping operation of DFIM is assessed under power converter and control circuit failures. Persevere ability of the machine is analyzed based on performance measures: (i) speed, (ii) current (iii) reactive power consumption. From the analysis, energy storage loss of about 66.61 MU/year is estimated in a 1000MW plant due to the inadequate power and control redundancy. A 2.2 kW DFIM is experimented at laboratory level to support the simulation.

The present study attempts to analyze the condition of rainwater harvested from the roof-tops so as to use that water as a source of drinking water. Methods/ Statistical Analysis: Rain water quality is an important factor which governs its suitability for potable use. But due to a rapid boost in the development particularly industries the rainwater trait is depreciating. For carrying out this study the rainwater was collected from the top of roofs and has been analyzed for a sanguine span to figure out its trait in consonance with the parameters for the potable water as given in Indian Standards on reserving for future with regard to time. The rainfall was collected from the dual contrasting locations from the concerned area under study i.e., Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee campus, India based on the material of downpipe, surroundings of roof material and deviating levels of pollutants in atmosphere owing to the traffic load of the area and was stored under different materials to analyze for its quality through different quality tests on the various physical and chemical parameters. Findings: The experiment will result into finding of an appropriate approach regarding efficient roof-top rainwater harvesting and also the correct technique for the stashing of the rainfall gathered as well as to throw light on the aspects of temperature and material amidst time. Applications/Improvement: The similar experimentation can be carried out at other places as well with more locations for more diversity in the results attributing to the surroundings etc. to get a clearer and precise view about the roof-top harvested rainwater quality.

ET 0 is calculated by the Hargreaves method from 1901 to 2005 and the computed data is then used for trend analysis. The temporal variation and the spatial distribution of trend are studied for seasonal and annual series with the Mann-Kendall (MK) test and Sen's estimator of slope. The percentage of change is used to find the rate of change in 111 years (rainfall) and 105 years (temperatures and ET 0). Interrelationships among these variables are analyzed to see the dependency of one variable on the other. The results indicate a decreasing rainfall and increasing temperatures and ET 0 trend. A similar pattern is noticeable in all seasons except for monsoon season in temperature and ET 0 trend analysis. The highest increase of temperature is noticed during postmonsoon and winter. Rainfall shows a notable decrease in the monsoon season. The entire state of Madhya Pradesh is considered as a single unit, and the calculation of overall net change in the amount of the rainfall, temperatures (maximum and minimum) and ET 0 is done to estimate the total loss or gain in monthly, seasonal and annual series. The results show net loss or deficit in the amount of rainfall and the net gain or excess in the temperature and ET 0 amount.

Global Climate Model (GCM) estimates climate change scenarios on coarse spatial resolution. Therefore, different techniques have been evolved to downscale the coarse-grid scale GCM data to finer scale surface variables of interest. In the present study, the Statistical Downscaling Model (SDSM) has been applied to downscale daily precipitation from simulated GCM data. SDSM utilizes Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) technique. The daily precipitation data (1961–2001) representing Tawa region has been considered as input (predictand) to the model. The model has been calibrated (1961–1991) and validated (1992–2001) with screened large-scale predictors of (National Centre for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalysis data. The prediction of future daily rainfall for the study area has been carried out for the period 2020s, 2050s and 2080s corresponding to HadCM3 A2 variables. The calibration and validation results confirm the SDSM model acceptability slightly at a lower degree. The results of the downscaled daily precipitation for the future period indicate an increasing trend in the mean daily precipitation.
