Yamne-I Hydro Electric Project
Report on Project Alternative Studies 2
1. INTRODUCTIONThe Yamne - I HEP is being proposed as a Run of the River scheme across the River
Yamne, which is a left bank tributary of Siang River in Arunachal Pradesh. The
Project site is located in the upper most reaches of Yamne Basin.
The Government of Arunachal Pradesh has signed a Memorandum of Agreement
(MoA) for development of Yamne stage I project in between El. 800.0 m to El.
600.0 m with M/s Abir Construction Pvt. Ltd. (Presently known as Abir
Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.)
As per MoA conditions SPV in name of M/s KU Yamne Energy Ventures Pvt. Ltd. was
formed which later changed name to M/s SS Yamne Energy Ventures Pvt. Ltd. for
implementation of project.
The dam site of Yamne I HEP is located downstream of the confluence of Yamne
and Yaming River. The tailrace outfall of Yamne I HEP has been proposed to be
located more than 2.0 km upstream of Yamne II submergence to have a2km free
flowing stretch of the river. The provided free stretch is such that it meets the MoEF
criteria of free flow stretch of river between two hydroelectric projects.
In this Report, the details of various alternative studies which are carried out to
finalize the project layout, optimization of FRL and selection of Diversion structure
are discussed.
2. NEED FOR THE ALTERNATIVE STUDYThe Yamne I HEP has been envisaged as Run of the River scheme and comprises of
a diversion structure, underground water conductor system, Surge Shaft and
Powerhouse. The maximum available gross head which can be harnessed in
technical and environmental sustainable manner is about 190.0m and the probable
installed capacity of the project would be about 120 150 MW.
The purpose of alternative studies is to arrive at a most cost effective and techno-
economically optimum layout which is most environment friendly. It is important to
note that cost of any hydro project is dependent upon its respective components
and to arrive at the most optimum project layout, assessment of respective costs
and energy benefits associated with any particular layout is of utmost importance.

This report also aims at studying various possible options of project layout, their
respective costs and energy benefits.
3. APPROACH OF ALTERNATIVE STUDIESIn order to develop the most optimum layout two stage studies were conducted.
Stage I: Alternatives having same FRL but water conductor system on different
banks and surface / underground powerhouse options.
Stage II: After selecting the most optimum layout of water conductor system and
powerhouse, alternative studies for selecting the most optimum FRL for Yamne I
HEP.
4. HYDROLOGY OF THE PROJECTThe Project hydrology is one of the prime parameter for planning of hydro projects.
The 10-daily water availability data of 1978 79 to 2008-09 was submitted to CEA
/ CWC on 22.02.2012 and the same has been approved vide letter no
2/ARP/34/CEA/10-PAC/1399-1401, dated 9th March 2012. The approved 10-daily
discharge series for Yamne I HEP has been considered for power potential studies
of the alternative studies.
4.1. Design FloodIn the alternative studies, concrete gravity dam has been considered as a diversion
structure for the project. Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) has been considered as
design flood for the proposed diversion structures per the recommendations made
in IS 11223-1995. The PMF for Yamne I HEP has been estimated as 5783 cumecs
and the same flood intensity has been considered in the alternative studies for the
design of Spillway.
5. ALTERNATIVE STUDIES FOR PROJECT LAYOUT (STAGE I)The alternative study for Project Layout has been carried out to select the most
Techno-Economical layout for Yamne I HEP. After the preliminary evaluation of
many layouts the following three layouts have been considered for detailed study.
The details of these layouts are tabulated in Table 1.

estimation is placed atAnnexure II. The Merits and Demerits with the Project
Layout Alternative I has been pointed out below.
Merits with Project Layout Alternative I:
1. The main advantage of this alternative is that the highest possible gross head of190.0m can be harnessed.
2. The Powerhouse site on located on a large natural terrace.3. No Local disturbance and hindrance.4. No agricultural land comes into land requirement of the project.
Demerits with Project Layout Alternative I:
1. The Complete water conductor system is traversing on the right bank of YamneRiver where no access roads are available. Thus field investigation shall require
at least one extra year and during the construction stage also one more year for
construction would be required in comparison to the left bank water conductor
system. Thus the Alternative I layout would require two more years in the
total execution period as compared to the other alternatives planned on the left
bank of Yamne River.
2. These studies are carried out based on Topo sheet of Survey of India in whichthe level difference between the powerhouse locations has a level difference of
15.0 m and the same has been considered for this study. However, during the
Site Visit on 20thJune 2012, fly leveling was carried out along the river with a
total station between the Powerhouse locations of upstream and downstream of
Sipung Nala. From the survey it has been observed that the total level difference
between these locations is about 8.0m and an additional tunnel length of about
1.0 km is required to harness this head. The additional tunnel length of 1.0 km
would result in about a meter of head loss and hence additional net head of 7.0m
could be utilized if the powerhouse is located downstream of Sipung Nala. Thus
it may not be an economically feasible option to have a Powerhouse location on
downstream of Sipung Nala by extending the HRT by about 1.0 km for
harnessing 7.0 m of additional net head.

3. About 25 km of hill roads which includes two permanent bridges have to beconstructed at dam site and Powerhouse site for crossing the River during the
construction & operation stage. Construction of roads / bridges on steeper right
bank will induce slope stability problems.
4. The temporary River diversion tunnel has to be planned on the left bank ofYamne River as the WCS of the projects placed on the right bank. At the dam
site, a large slide zone is located about 300.0 m downstream of dam axis and
hence the construction of diversion tunnel would be complex and require heavy
rock support system. In this alternative, the temporary river diversion
arrangement will be costliest.

iv. The tailrace tunnels, construction and access tunnels also make theUnderground Powerhouse complex become costlier than the Surface
Powerhouse options.
5.4. Conclusions and Recommendation for Project LayoutFrom the above detailed alternative studies on Project Layout the following points
may be noted,
1. The Layout on right bank (Alternative I) of Yamne River will require two moreextra years as compared to other alternative layouts in which the WCS on the
left bank and the Cost-Benefit also higher than the other two alternatives.
2. The Alternative II has a significant advantage of being Simple Layout and theEnergy benefits are quite better than other two alternatives and it has a main
advantage of being well connected to the existing road, so that accessibility
would not be a problem during construction phase of the project.
3. The Alternative III has a similar trend of cost to benefits of Alternative I andit well connected with the existing road. The main disadvantage of the
Alternative III is that it has to cross the Sipon Nala and which may cause
seepage and stability problems during construction and operation stage of the
project.
The summary of the Cost-Benefit of project layout alternative studies are presented
below in Table 5.

From the above table, it can be seen that the Alternative II is the better proposal
than other two in the both technical and economical considerations. Thus it is
suggested that the Alternative II shall be considered for the Project Layout for
Yamne I HEP and the same shall be considered for further optimization studies.
The Diversion structure is one of the vital structures in Alternative II and hence it
-

is also recommended to carry out comprehensive studies for optimization of FRL of
the project.
6. ALTERNATIVE STUDIES FOR OPTIMIZATION OF FRL (STAGE II)Based on the above alternative study for Project layout, the layout of Alternative IIhas been considered suitable for Yamne I HEP and the same considered for
optimization of FRL of the project.
The optimum FRL of the project is the reservoir level at which the cost of energy
generation would be minimum. In this study, Six FRLs have been considered for
optimizations which are ranging from El. 715.0m to El. 740.0m.
The de-silting arrangements and the concrete gravity dam are the two important
structures which influence the cost of the project at different FRLs, so cost of these
structures are estimated at different FRL alternative study, while the cost of
remainig project components are considered same with different FRL alternative
studies.
6.1. Concrete Gravity DamDuring the site visit on 20th July 2012, various possibilities of Dam site location for
Lower FRL have been assessed and a location at 100 m downstream of Yamne
confluence is considered for technical assessment and the following points are
evaluated,
1. The river section is narrow and hence the cost of diversion structure will beminimum and it has an adequate space for de-silting basin arrangement.
2. The main concern with this location is that the life of the reservoir will beless as the dam site is located just downstream of confluence and the
reservoir area is not adequate enough to hold the sediment load on higher
reaches.
3. It also been noticed during the visit that the Yamne river carries lots ofsediment load during monsoon season which necessitates for de-silting
arrangement for the project.

Report on Project Alternative Studies 13
Hence the earlier proposed location (i.e. 800 m downstream of Confluence) of dam
site is considered preferable for locating the diversion structure for Yamne HEP and
the same is considered in this study.
The Concrete Gravity Dam with Stilling Basin arrangement is considered as
diversion structure in all FRL studies. The foundation of the dam has been
considered 30.0m below the average River bed level (i.e. El. 660.0 m). In all the
study a free board of 2.0 m has been provided above the FRL.
The features of Concrete Dam considered with different FRLs are tabulated below
in Table 6.

The detailed hydraulic calculations for design of spillways and energy dissipation
arrangements and corresponding engineering drawings are placed atAnnexure
III andAnnexure IV respectively.
6.2. De-Silting ArrangementAs different FRLs have been considered in this study, the requirement of De-Silting
chamber has been justified for each FRL and the cost of De-Silting arrangement also
been included in the project cost.
The requirement of De-Silting arrangement has been evaluated based on the level
difference between invert of HRT and Spillway crest level and the gross storage
capacity of the Reservoir.
-
7/29/2019 Final Report on Alternative Studies
14/16
Yamne-I Hydro Electric Project
Report on Project Alternative Studies 14
The De-Silting arrangement may not be required, if adequate level difference is
provided between spillway crest and intake and the reservoir would act as natural
De-Silting basin, if the gross storage capacity is good enough to settle the suspended
particles in the River water.
Based on the experience and provisions made in similar projects, the following
limits have been considered in this study for eliminating the de-silting
arrangements in the water conductor system of the project,
With the above criteria for De-Silting arrangement, the details of each FRL study has
been tabulated below in Table 7,

From the above table it can be seen that the length of reservoir is greater than 4.0
km at FRL 740.0m and 735.0m which is substantial and at these FRLs the De-silting
arrangement have not been considered.

6.5. Conclusions and RecommendationFrom the study of FRL optimization, the following observations could be made,
1. The De-Silting arrangement is required when the FRL kept below El. 735.0mand will significantly increase the project cost.
2. From Table 10, it can be seen that the project cost variation between the FRLsof El. 740.0 m and El. 735.0 m is -4.90%, but the energy loss will be 3.23% and
the same way the variation in Project cost and energy loss between the FRLs El.
740.0m and El. 730.0 would be +2.65% (increased due to de-Silting
Arrangement) and5.86% respectively. Hence the Project cost to benefit ratio is
better at FRL El. 735.0m and it shall be considered as FRL of Yamne I HEP and
it can also be seen that the levelised tariff is minimum at FRL 735.0m. Thus the
FRl 735.0m shall be considered most economical than other FRLs.
7. CONCLUSIONSFrom this alternative study the following conclusions are derived,
The project layout shall be planned on the left bank of Yamne River as the studies
showing the Alternative II as the most preferable option from techno-economic
angle in both technical and economical directions.
The FRL of the project shall be considered at El. 735.0m as it gives the best tariff
compared to other options.
This alternative study report is submitted to M/s SS Yamne Energy Ventures Pvt.
Ltd for their review and approval, so that the preparation of PFR for Yamne I HEP
with new parameters evaluated from this study shall be commenced.
