A Visit to Nandi Medaram and Parvathi Pump Houses.
We, the students of EEE visited Parvathi and Nandi pump houses on 28th October, 2022 as a part of Industrial trip. We have reached Parvathi Pump House around 7 am .With all the safety measures we entered inside the project. The guide has taken the charge and explained us about the project and its main aim. The Parvati Barrage, also known as the Sundilla Barrage is an irrigation project. Sundilla pump house stands crucial in diverting flood water of Godavari to Yellampalli and supply them to the entire lift irrigation scheme. It has 9 pumps and 14 syncronous motors. These pumps lift water to a height of 40 m and discharge 656 cusecs of water into Yellampalli barrage . Each pump of Sundilla pump house requires 40 MW of power. Together all 9 pumps would need 360 MW of power.
After seeing Parvathi pump house, we reached Nandi Medaram pump house around 2 pm. The Nandi Medaram pump house has seven pumps with 124 MW capacity each to lift two tmc ft water a day. The voltage level at Nandi pump house is maintained by TRANSCO and the discharge of water is maintained by Irrigation department at Nandi pump house. The operation here at Nandi pump house is similar to Parvati pump but the difference is 120 MW is used at Nandi pump house which is underground pump house whereas 40 MW is used at Parvati pump house which is open pump house. Capacity of Nandi pump house is - 7 pumps each with 124 MW capacity and Lift - 105 M.
Finally, before leaving Nandi and Parvathi pump houses, our lecturers felicitated the working staff for being so supportive.
