The unique course on Hydropower Structures provides insight into hydropower engineering, hydropower projects in India and the components of hydropower structures. The course content includes investigation of the geological and hydrological parameters in developing hydropower projects. The hydraulic and structural design are worked out for various components of real-time hydropower projects. The course briefs of embankment dams (earth and rockfill dams). The logistic planning and site infrastructure development, construction methods and planning of headworks, underground works, powerhouse and shaft are discussed. This course will help the learners to develop as a hydropower engineer to build durable and economical hydropower structures.
