Chinese engineers instal shaft pan in Sukki Kinari 884 megawatts hydropower project
Chinese engineers successfully installed a shaft pan in the Sukki Kinari hydropower project, which has a capacity of 884 megawatts and will provide a base for water preservation and power generation. The pan shaft is a critical component of the system as it converts energy from the outflow between the upstream and downstream water to generate electricity. It consists of a vertical shaft with a shaft crown that forms an inlet level parallel to the bottom, running below the water level of the upper water. The under-construction Sukki Kinari hydropower project includes a 234-meter-deep double chamber surge shaft designed to neutralize the hammering effect of water resulting from the sudden shutdown of generating units last year.
NARAN – Chinese engineers on Sunday successfully installed a shaft pan in Sukki Kinari 884 megawatts hydropower project which would provide a base for water preservation and power generation.
According to the details, the pan shaft has an important role in generating electricity by converting energy from an outflow between the upstream water and downstream water. The system comprises a vertical shaft, the shaft crown of which forms an inlet level that is essentially parallel to the bottom and which below the water level of the upper water runs.
Under Construction Suki Kinari Hydropower Project-884MW Shaft 234m deep double chamber surge shaft which is being constructed to neutralise the hammering effect of water due to the sudden shutdown of generating units last year.
90 percent work of the Sukki Kinari hydropower project has been completed while the installation of the heavy transmission line is in progress at a rapid pace.
The total gross installed capacity of Sukki Kinari Project is 873.508-MW with the supply of 4 sets of impulse turbines. SK project is a foreign direct investment project by Suki Kinari Hydro (Private) Limited. It is a joint venture by White Crystal Limited, Saudi Arabia (58%), Eden Inc Behad, Malaysia (20%), China Gezhouba Group Company Limited (CGGC) (20%), etc. The run-of-river facility is one of the early-harvest clean energy projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Gezhouba Group, China is implementing the project at around $2 billion.
