Introduction of Technologically Advanced Modular
Hydropower System for Pulangi IV Hydroelectric Plant
ENGR. RUDY P. BRIOSO
National Power Corporation-Pulangi IV Hydroelectric Plant
Philippines
SUMMARY
The Philippine Archipelago is consists of three (3) main island grids, namely; Luzon, Visayas
and Mindanao. The Department of Energy (DOE) have formulated methods to avert any
problem in the power supply specifically in Luzon and Mindanao and these are: locating and
making use of every capacity and energy available to the system; and revisiting the power
development plan modeling and process. Although it was projected that for 2011, Mindanao
Grid which basically comprise 50% hydro in the generation mix, would have a better
condition that in 2010 since the current water level in the region is favorable for hydro plants
but it still has thin reserve and short of 300MW.
The power situation in Mindanao Grid can be address through capacity addition and the
DOE is encouraging the participation of local and foreign investors, particularly those in the
Renewable Energy (RE) business to consider the market potential and opportunities in the
Philippines. For the Philippines’ National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR), a study was
recommended sometime on 2005 through the auspices of the so called capacity recovery
and improvement program in order to maximize the operational capability of its existing
hydropower plants. For Pulangi IV Hydroelectric Plant, there were studies undertaken to
further provide additional capacity, namely:
1. Uprating of the existing plant capacity by as much as 10%; and
2. Utilization of the existing potentials through the introduction of technologicallyadvance modular bulb turbine.
Installation of the technologically advanced modular hydropower system provides an option
for development of hydropower at low-head site condition with existing dam or gate
structures. The low head modular hydropower system design utilizes a factory assembled
grid or “matrix” of small propeller turbine-generators units. The system requires no major
excavations, foundations, channel modifications, or civil works and therefore enables small
hydroelectric power plants to be developed at investment levels below those normally
required in some conventional hydropower plants. Since the turbine-generator units are
shipped to site in pre-assembled condition, construction and start-up schedules can be
reduced significantly. By using existing civil structures, this low head modular hydropower

system installation requires little or no additional land area and has the potential to minimize
environmental impact, particularly during construction phase.
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
Recent study by the Philippines’ Department of Energy (DOE) revealed that the island of
Mindanao has a thin power reserved for 2010 and will experience shortfall of capacity if
there will be no new power plants will be installed. Although there are two (2) hydro projects
committed for Mindanao for 2010, there is a need for the government to step up its effort and
encourage private investor in putting up the needed capacity. If the Philippine Government
through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) will push for the installation of state-of-the-art
technologically advanced modular hydro power system which is expected to provide an
incremental capacity of 16MW which could translate to all additional annual energy
generation of about 71.48 GWH of cheaper source of power to the Mindanao Grid.
CONTRIBUTION OF THE PROPOSED MODULAR TYPE HYDROPOWER TO MINDANAO
GRID
The modular type hydropower will provide an incremental capacity of 16 MW which could
translate to an additional annual energy generation of about 71.48 GWh of cheaper source
of power to the Mindanao Grid.
DOE’s Philippine Energy Plan (2007-2014)
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The power generation of the existing Pulangi IV Hydropower Plant is conveyed through a 9km open channel which carries discharge capacity of 276 cms. Reservoir levels vary within
the range from 283.0 m and 285.0 m, while water level in the canal varies between 276.0 m
and 277.0 m. This gives rise to gross heads in the range of 6.0 m to 9.0 m. Using the flow
into the canal a new hydro generating capacity of up to about 16 MW could be considered.
One of the new technologies being developed is an integrated turbine generator to produce
electricity economically in a free flow environment that operates at lower speeds and does
not require high head or pressure. These turbines can use the flow of water coming from the
existing facilities of Pulangi IV HEP, thus generating additional electricity. The low head
turbine technology makes it possible to utilize existing dam structures without making major
changes to the surrounding structures. See Figure 5.1: Figure 5.1: Modular Hydropower
Plant Application Range and Figure 5.2: Cross Section of a Modular Hydropower Plant
(Sample).

The installation of modular low-head turbine will inquire no major excavations, foundations,
channel modifications, or civil works. This technology may therefore enable small
hydroelectric power plants to be developed at investment levels below those normally
required in conventional hydropower plant. Also, construction and start-up schedules can be
reduced significantly. In addition, this type of hydropower development requires little or no
additional land area and has the potential to minimize environmental impact, particularly
during the construction phase.
1. PROJECT LAYOUT AND DESIGN
1.1 General
The existing Pulangi IV power station has a long-term average plant factor of about 55%, but
the proposed low-head modular power facility, which will essentially utilize the same flows as
the main plant, is expected to have lower plant factor due to the variation in head under
which it will operate. Assuming an average head of 8.0 m and an installed capacity of 16
MW, the plant factor would be around 51% and the annual energy production should be
around 71.48% GWh per year.

1.2 Access Road
The proposed modular project shall similarly use the existing road access to the dam site
and water diversion facilities.
1.3 River Diversion Construction
No major river diversion works will be required for this construction. A simple half-circular
steel caisson, both at upstream and downstream side of the intake site, will be needed to
keep water from the specific construction area.
1.4 Generating Units
Given the range of heads and flows under which the scheme will operate, the most suitable
and least-costly four (4) units turbine-generator per module (per intake) is considered. For
the purpose of this assessment, a total of four (4) modules turbine-generator sets will be
installed in four (4) intakes utilizing some 8.6 m net head.
1.5 Transmission Line and Interconnection
Generation output will be conveyed via a new 9.5 km long x 69 KV transmission line to the
existing sub-station adjacent to Pulangi IV powerhouse. The transmission line will follow the
existing headrace canal over most of its length. The sub0station will be extended to
accommodate the new incoming transmission line.
2. ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL IMPACTS
The Pulangi IV Headrace Canal Intake hydropower facility is an efficiency enhancement
rather than a typical greenfield construction project. The works could therefore be contained
within the existing premises of the Pulangi IV property boundaries and the development can
occur within the context of the environmental management plan of Pulangi IV HEP.
Social impacts will also be minimal with a relatively small amount of workforce required for a
limited duration. Since the total power production capacity is greater than 5 MW but less
than 30 MW, an Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) Report is required to support the
Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) application and the processing will be
performed by the concerned Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR)/Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) regional office.
PROJECT COST
The estimated total project cost is equivalent to P 1,404.99 million (exclusive of price
contingency & interest during construction) or equivalent of US$ 28.67 million in foreign
currencies.
The cost includes the supply and installation of major electro-mechanical equipments and
auxiliary equipment; civil works; transportation; insurance; engineering and supervision; and
physical contingencies.
