Istaru-Booni Hydropower Project Calculations

The document provides calculations for determining the size, submergence, and elevation levels of the intake/inlet for the 72 MW Istaru-Booni Hydropower Project. It calculates that the intake should have a height of 3 meters and width of 6.3 meters, with 2 intakes required to accommodate the design discharge of 94 cumecs. The recommended submergence is 3.7 meters to prevent vortex formation, setting the intake top elevation at 2,102 meters.

Total Area for one Inlet Atotal 37.60 m2 Atotal=Q/V

Let the No. of inlets N 2

Area of one Inlet Ainlet 18.8 m2

Let the Ht of Inlet H 3 m

Hence Width of Inlet W 6.27 m

Say W 6.3 m

Total area for one Inlet Aone inlet 18.9 m2

No. of inlets N 2.0 OK N=Atotal/Aone inlet

Hence the Size of inlet:

Ht of Inlet H 3 m

Width of Inlet W 6.3 m

Discharge in the Inlet Qinlet 56.4 Cumecs Qinlet=Qdesign /2

Vinlet=Qinlet/Aone
Velocity in one inlet=Q/A Vinlet 2.98 m/sec inlet
