A new cascaded hydropower plants on El Sheikh Zayed Canal in the New Valley in egypt

摘要

The new projects are: Toshka, New Valley or New Delta, Sheik Zayed which will feed more than a million feddans, transfering the desert into a green carpet, turning the wheels of industries and shedding off the stiffing nightmare of the choking narrow valley. This paper presents a new idea and application to how to use the water flow from Nasser lake after raising and pumping with certain speed according to the ground slope. A series of hydro power plants are designed on certain interested points on El Sheikh Zayed canal to general electrical energy which will be required to feed several projects in this new valley. The results show the comparison between these eight hydro power plants w.r.t: it's generated electrical energy water release, water contents and the head of water inside each one. Also, the study contains the mathematical models of each hydropower station and the mathematical description of each of reservoir, barages and power stations.
