Tana Hydroelectric Power Station

The Tana Hydroelectric Power Station is a 20 MW (27,000 hp) hydroelectric power station on the Tana River in southern Kenya. Location Tana Hydroelectric Power Station is located in Muranga County, off the Nairobi-Embu Road, between Makuyu and Makutano, approximately 84 kilometres (52 mi) by road, northeast of Nairobi, the capital and largest city in Kenya. The coordinates of the power station are:0°47'08.0"S, 37°15'55.0"E (Latitude:-0.785550; Longitude:37.265284). Overview The first power station on the site, drawing water from the Mathioya River was built in 1931. It was extended in 1955, drawing water from the Tana River, with capacity of 14.4MW, but generating only 10.4MW at time of decommissioning in 2007. Beginning in 2007, a new power station was constructed 30 metres (98 ft) away from the old one. The new power house has capacity of 19.6 MW (26,300 hp) and uses the same intake and discharge channels as the old station.

Kraftwerk Sondu-Miriu

Das Kraftwerk Sondu-Miriu (englisch Sondu Miriu Hydroelectric Power Station) ist ein Laufwasserkraftwerk im Kisumu County, Kenia. Es ist am Fluss Sondu-Miriu, ca. 15 km vor seiner Mündung in den Winam-Golf des Victoriasees gelegen. Die Stadt Kisumu befindet sich ca. 40 km nordwestlich des Kraftwerks. Mit dem Bau des Kraftwerks wurde im März 1999 begonnen. Die erste Maschine des Kraftwerks ging im Dezember 2007 in Betrieb. Die offizielle Einweihung durch den Staatspräsidenten Kenias, Mwai Kibaki, erfolgte am 24. Juli 2009. Das Kraftwerk ist im Besitz der Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) und wird auch von KenGen betrieben. Absperrbauwerk Das Absperrbauwerk besteht aus einem Stauwehr mit einer Länge von 70 m und einer Höhe von 18 m. Von der Staumauer führt zunächst ein Tunnel (Länge 6,2 km, Durchmesser 4,2 m) in nordwestliche Richtung. Danach leitet eine oberirdische Druckrohrleitung (Länge ca. 1 km, Durchmesser 3 m) das Wasser zum Kraftwerk. Stausee Das Wehr staut den Sondu-Miriu zu einem kleinen Stausee auf. Das normale Stauziel liegt bei 1.402 m über dem Meeresspiegel. Kraftwerk Das Kraftwerk Sondu-Miriu verfügt über eine installierte Leistung von 60 MW. Die durchschnittliche Jahreserzeugung liegt bei 330 Mio. kWh. Die maximale Fallhöhe beträgt ca. 200 m. Der Durchfluss liegt bei 41 m³/s. Die zwei Francis-Turbinen leisten jeweils maximal 31,2 MW und die zugehörigen Generatoren 33,7 MVA. Die erste Maschine ging im Dezember 2007 und die zweite im März 2008 ans Netz. In der Schaltanlage wird die Generatorspannung von 11 kV mittels Maschinentransformatoren auf 132 kV hochgespannt. Von der Schaltanlage führt eine 49 km lange Einfachleitung zum Umspannwerk in Kisumu. Nachdem das Wasser das Kraftwerk passiert hat, wird es über einen Kanal (Länge 4,7 km, Breite 2,6 m) zum Kraftwerk Sang'oro geleitet. Sonstiges Als Gesamtkosten für das Kraftwerksprojekt werden 19 Mrd. KES bzw. 260 Mio. USD angegeben. Die Japan Bank for International Cooperation gewährte ein Darlehen in Höhe von 99,5 Mio. USD für das Projekt. Siehe auch Liste von Kraftwerken in Kenia Weblinks HYDRO POWER STATIONS. KenGen, abgerufen am 22. Juni 2016 (englisch). Hydroelectric Plants in Kenya.

Sondu Miriu Hydroelectric Power Station

The Sondu Miriu Hydroelectric Power Station is a hydroelectric power station on the Sondu River in Kenya. Location The power station is located near the village of Kusa in Kisumu County, approximately 55 kilometres (34 mi), by road, southeast of Kisumu, the location of the county headquarters. This lies approximately 350 kilometres (217 mi), by road, northwest of Nairobi, the capital and largest city in the country. The coordinates of the power station are:0°20'33.0"S, 34°51'08.0"E (Latitude:0°20'33.0"S; Longitude:34°51'08.0"E). Overview The power station is unique because it is not located directly on the river from which it derives the water that powers it. At the intake point, water is diverted to the power station, via a 6.2 kilometres (3.9 mi) intake tunnel. After the power is generated, the water effluent is discarded about 13 kilometres (8 mi) downstream of the intake point via an outlet channel that measures 4.7 kilometres (3 mi). A 50 kilometres (31 mi) 135kV transmission line carries the power from the power station to a substation in Kisumu, where it is integrated into the national electricity grid. Construction lasted 10 years, with a loan from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation at a total cost of Sh19 billion (US$249 million). Other considerations After Sondu Miriu was built, another associated power station, the 20.2 MW (27,100 hp) Sang'oro Hydroelectric Power Station, was built between 2007 and 2013, using the water discharge from Sondu Miriu as its intake. Ownership Sondu Miriu Hydroelectric Power Station is 100 percent owned by Kenya Electricity Generating Company, a parastatal company of the government of Kenya.

ГЕС Sondu-Miriu

ГЕС Sondu-Miriu – гідроелектростанція на заході Кенії, розташована у 30 км на південний схід від міста Кісуму, неподалік затоки Вінам, що знаходиться у північно-східному куті озера Вікторія (через Ніл відноситься до басейну Середземного моря). В межах проекту річку Sondu-Miriu (одна з найбільших, що впадають у Вікторію) перекрили невеликою греблею, яка відводить ресурс до верхнього балансуючого резервуару об’ємом 1,1 млн м3, з якого починається прокладений у правобережному масиві (гряда Nyakach) дериваційний тунель довжиною 6,2 км. По завершенні останній переходить у напірний водовід довжиною 1 км та діаметром 3 метри до розташованого внизу на рівнині Кано машинного залу. Основне обладнання станції складають дві турбіни типу Френсіс потужністю по 30 МВт, які працюють при напорі біля 200 метрів. Відпрацьована вода відводиться через канал довжиною 4,7 км, котрий приєднується до Сонду через 13 км вниз по течії від водозабірної греблі. Фінансування проекту, введеного в експлуатацію у другій половині 2000-х років, в основному здійснив японський Japan Bank for International Cooperation. Примітки
