Pakistan can address to a large extent its power crisis through Chinese innovative hydro power generating technology, said a senior official at Pakistan Embassy in an interview. "China has advance technology of generating electricity through small and medium size hydro power plants and Pakistan can greatly benefit from it", Counsellor Technical Affairs Syed Ali Tallae told APP after a visit to Hanzhou Province where these plants were functioning successfully.
He said during the visit, the Chinese side showed one of the demonstration projects that could conveniently generate 2-MW electricity. Through this most modern technology, a 40-meter deep tunnel is excavated and with the thrust of pouring water on the turbine through the tunnel it starts generating 2-MW electricity.
He further explained that the tunnel for passing water was excavated at water level of a lake, similar to the Rawal Lake in Islamabad. Tallae pointed out that the Hanzhou Provincial Government had informed that generating electricity through this technology could greatly benefit Pakistan to address its energy problem.
He further said the Chinese side also indicated their willingness to lay a network of such kind of small hydro power plants in Pakistan on turnkey basis. The Chinese side, he said, had also indicated the possibility of setting up a demo-plant at Gulberg Canal in Lahore with specifically construction design.
Tallae said that in China, the definition of small Hydro Power station ranges from 100KW to 50MW, while below 100KW was called Micro-Hydro Power Station. The Dam on lake could also be constructed to control the flood, he said.
