It is recommended that: (a) the total costs of the project be i icreased from $203.6 million to $251.0 million; (b) AID authorize an additional $25.0 million for the project thereby increasing AID's contribution from $85.0 million to $110.0 million, including: (i) an additional loan amount of $22.0 million to finance increased construction costs of main and branch irrigation canals and to provide required equipment for operation and maintenance; (ii) a grant of $3.0 million to finance a new technical assistance package to support the system. The $3.0 million grant should be obligated in FY 1984 and the. $22.0 million loan should be obligated: $8 million in FY 1984 and $17.0 million in FY 1985. The recommended terms of the loan are repayment of the principal and payment of interest in U.S. dollars within 40 years including a ten year grace period of repayment of the principal with interest at two percent (2%) per annum during the grace period and three percent (3%) thereafter. 1.2 SUMMARY MBD Phase II currently provides loar finance for main and branch irrigation canal construction of a [ijor portion of System B in the GSL's Accelerated Mahaweli Program. System B encompasses the Left and Right Banks of the Maduru Oya river in the east-central dry zone of Sri Lanka, and the project area of MBD Phase II constitutes appKoximately 75,000 hectares of the Left Bank. Total costs of the project were estimated in the original Project Paper to be $203.6, subsequently revised to $218.2 million in the Project Loan Agreement. Both the PP and the Loan Agreement provide for $85 million in AID loan funds for main and branch canal construction. The renainder of $133.2 million, as reflected in the Loan Agreement, is being met by the GSL from its own resources, by other donor contributions, and by reimbursements under USAID's Mahaweli Sector Support project (383-0078), with the caveat that non-reimbursed C13L contributions remain at a minimum of at least 25% of total project costs. Other direct USAID support for System B development is provided under the Mahaweli Basin Development Phase I project (383-0073). This predecessor project finances a host country contract with the joint venture association of 1 Louis Berger International Inc. and International Engineering Co. Inc. (Berger/IECO). Under its contract, Berger/IECO (a) has designed the irrigation system for both the Left Bank and Right Bank of System B, and (b) is providing the engineering supervision for the Left Bank construction financed by MD Phase II. An important milestone as reached in July, 1983 when the Maduru Oya headworks dam was inaugurated. This structure and its reservoir will control the flow of irrigation water into System B and was built with Canadian assistance. The Left Bank system financed by AID under MBD Phase II remains scheduled for completion by the original PACD of September 30, 1986. The Right Bank system will be developed at a later date. The project as authorized by the Administrator on April 11, 1981 and obligated in the initial amount of $25 million on May 29, 1981. Three subsequent amendments to the Project Loan Agreement have increased the amount obligated to $68 million. Bids for the construction contract were received in April 1982 and a host country contract was awarded by the GSL in May 1982 to the joint venture of H.B. Zachry Co. and Dillingham Construction International Inc. (Z/D). The contractor commenced work on site in June, 1982.

  • Engineering Geology of Randenigala Hydro Power Project Site
    ENGINEERING GEOLOGY OF RANDENIGALA HYDRO POWER PROJECT SITE by A.U. Gunasekera SYNOPSIS Geotechnical investigations for a hydropower project are conducted in stages, in order to establish the engi­ neering geological conditions, which invariably here a direct impact on the selection of locations of structures, methods of foundation treatment/stablisation and con­ struction of foundations/substructures etc. Hence, it is of utmost significance to perform a very comprehen­ sive engineering geological study, for such projects, as it will also, in addition to the above mentioned facts af­ fect the economic feasibility of the project. This paper shows how geotechnical investigations were conducted for the Randenigala Hydro Power Project, Figure 1 - Map of Figure 2 - Randenigala including the different types of methods utilized along Sri Lanka Project Area with their purpose.

Udayakumar Abstract The main focus of this thesis work is to perform a preliminary evaluation for the introduction of a pumped energy storage system to an existing hydropower plant located on the Randenigala water reservoir in Sri Lanka. The selected power plant is located in an area where farming is done extensively, therefore electrical power generation and release of water for downstream irrigation purposes is to be properly coordinated with relevant authorities. The solution to this situation is to introduce a wind powered pumped energy storage power plant to the Mahaweli hydro cascade for the purpose of saving peak power for around half an hour. A feasibility study was carried out on the utilization of wind energy and excess power to drive the motors of the pumped storage system. Three versions with different numbers of pump motors and wind turbines have been considered to meet the half hour peak demand of the energy storage system. The optimum number of turbines and motor capacities and their number and brand have been selected with view of both energy and water management system.

  • Forum23 植松g Optimization of Multireservoir Operation by Stochastic Dynamic Programming for Moragolla Hydropower Project in S
    Optimization of Multi-reservoir Operation by Stochastic Dynamic Programming for Moragolla Hydropower Project in Sri Lanka International Consulting Operations, Water Resources Division, Water Resources & Energy Department, Sohei UEMATSU ○ Keywords reservoir operation, optimization, hydropower, stochastic dynamic programming ○ Outline Development of new hydropower project into an existing river management system sometimes impair the original purpose of the existing system, especially the new project was not considered in the original design of the river system. It is ideally imperative that the operation performance of existing facilities with planned new facilities is optimized together. However, it is practically difficult to optimize complex river management system without efforts to reduce the time for computation of the modern desktop computers. In the article, the optimization study for the Moragolla hydropower project in Sri Lanka is introduced in detail. The project is a newly planned hydropower project in the Mahaweli river system and the project was not originally designed during the first planning of the river management. Therefore the optimization is done with existing facility in the study. This article introduces the study as an example for multi-dimensional optimization. ○Technical Points This article explained as an example of limiting the number of multi-dimension problem. The optimization algorithm applied for the problem is stochastic dynamic programming (SDP). The program algorithm of SDP is expanded for n-dimension problems and applied for a feasibility study of the planned hydropower project, namely Moragolla Hydropower Project. In the study, daily operation of an existing hydropower and the planned Moragolla hydropower is simultaneously optimized with the multi-dimension SDP. ○ Figure, table, and picture Time Step (day) C.A.
