2 India s Power Scenario Thermal Hydro Power Total Installed Capacity MW Nuclear Source: Solar PV

3 Impact of Hydropower Projects Storage based Hydro Power Projects Run of River Hydro Power Projects Advantages Disadvantages Advantages Disadvantages Renewable & Reliable Adverse impact on fisheries, Clean source of energy Limitation of capacity Source of energy flora & fauna downstream Comparatively less expansion depending Cheaper source of Changes in environmental impact on environment upon the size of river. energy No fuel cost flows at D/S & uncomfortable No greenhouse gas Impact on river Increased dependability conditions for aquatic life emission ecology & water of flow in river results in Potential of more greenhouse Less impact on river quality in some cases i. Better Irrigation & gas emission ecology, environmental Environmental flows hence Food dsecurity Rehabilitation ti & Resettlement t flows & water quality issue in some cases. ii. Reliable & Adequate of human beings No R & R issues Drinking Water Loss of cultural heritage No loss of places of Supply monuments, place of worship religious and cultural Flood Control Impact on the existing power importance Employment infrastructure such as Generation transmission & distribution Recreational Water lines.

Zadeh in Trapezoidal Fuzzy Number (a 1, a 2, a 3, a 4 ) μ A (x) 0 x a 1 a 2 a 1 1 a 4 x a 4 a 3 0 ; x ; a 1 ; a 2 ; x a 1 x x ; a 3 x a 3 a 2 a 3 a 4 Expert opinion in terms of fuzzy numbers representing possibility of occurrence of uncertainty factors Uncertainty/ Risk Factors Basic Event Expert 1 Expert 2 Expert 3 a1 a2 a3 a4 a1 a2 a3 a4 a1 a2 a3 a4 Mass Agitation/Protests Contractual Delays Cash Flow Constraints Poor Geological Studies Heavy Rainfall Earthquake Flood Contractor Issues

9 Hurwicz Criterion Hurwiczcriterionisdesigned criterion is to reflect the decision making attitude, ranging from most optimistic to the most pessimistic: H (criterion of realism) = η (Minimum of project delay possibility) + (1 η) (Maximum of project dl delay possibility) bl where, η is index of optimism, η=0 indicates conservative (pessimistic) approach, η =0.5 indicates equal weightage g (Laplace(Neutral) criterion) and η=1 represents (optimistic) approach Approximated expert opinion Basic event Approximated Fuzzy Number (Laplace) Approximated Fuzzy Number (Optimistic) Approximated Fuzzy Number (Pessimistic) a1 a2 a3 a4 a1 a2 a3 a4 a1 a2 a3 a

12 Concluding Remarks Hydropower is aclean form of energy which h must be developed d to its full potential. Uttarakhand has immense hydropower potential which needs to be tapped for long term development. Sustainable Development of Hydropower projects involve substantial risks & uncertainties. To reduce the impact, uncertainties & risks involved must be identified & analyzed. Controls should be suggested at the time of planning pa g& design itself & implemented pe e tedat the eo & M stages. Fuzzy logic is a powerful tool which helps in quantifying risks and uncertainties and also helps in decision making under such conditions.
