    Hydro Power Potential in Pakistan: A General Study: M.A. Muhammad, Z. Hassaan

    Uploaded by

    hsnzahid
    The document discusses hydro power potential in Pakistan. It begins by introducing hydro power systems and the global water cycle they depend on. Worldwide, hydro power generates over 16% of electricity and its contribution could double by 2050. In Pakistan, northern areas and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have significant potential for small-scale hydro due to their terrain and water resources. The document examines existing and proposed hydro power projects in Pakistan, and recommends further developing micro hydro in the northern regions to sustainably increase renewable energy generation.

    HYDRO POWER

    POTENTIAL IN PAKISTAN:
    A GENERAL STUDY
    M.A. Muhammad, Z. Hassaan

    u-Hydro Introduction

    A hydro power system harness kinetic energy from


    the flowing water, usually rivers or streams.

    Water Cycle

    The hydro resource depends upon the entire water cycle.

    World Scenario

    Hydro power is at present the most


    common and the largest utilized
    renewable energy resource.

    Around
    electrical

    the

    world,

    power

    is

    3288

    TWh

    generated

    through hydro alone.

    That is over 16% of global electricity


    production in 2008.

    Hydro-power

    could

    double its input by


    2050, reaching 2,000
    GW of global capacity
    and over 7,000 TWh.

    best option in the near future.

    PURE (productive use of renewable


    energy)

    Pakistan has 2165 MW capacity of small scale

    hydro power mainly in northern areas and NWFP.

    The project main focus is to implement 15


    MW of off-grid power through 103 MHP
    (micro hydro power) sites in Chitral.

    A medium-sized project named 'PURE' related to

    micro hydro was planned from 2004-2010 by

    AEDB has also played its roll in this


    project with its motto to make 5% share of

    80 projects having
    capacity from 5kW to
    30kW were installed
