uprating options of 3.0MWand 5.5MW. It has been shown that net
present value is positive in both the cases; hence, uprating options
are economically feasible. The investment required is minimum
incase of uprating options of 3.0 MWand also return is also earlier.
In addition, with higher uprating options there comes the rehabilitation
problem and other social and religious issues which
hamper the development/uprating of projects. Hence 3.0 MW is
best option for uprating with same water conductor system and
other already available infrastructure.
