Consider the following statements regarding the Gujarat Small Hydel Policy:
1. Small hydel projects are typically classified for capacities up to 25 MW.
2. Hydropower projects are considered “must-run” sources and are given priority in grid dispatch.
3. Tariff determination for small hydel projects is carried out by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer & step-by-step solution
Small-hydropower questions combine capacity classification, grid-dispatch treatment and tariff regulation. In India, 'small hydro' is commonly associated with projects up to 25 MW, while tariff and scheduling treatment is governed by the relevant electricity commission/regulations. Key relation: Hydro power P≈ρgQHη.
Exam focus: Keep capacity definition, dispatch status and tariff authority as separate statements. Common trap: Do not assume every renewable technology has identical scheduling treatment.
Statement-wise Verification
- Statement 1 - Correct.
Small hydel projects are typically classified for capacities up to 25 MW.
In India, 'small hydro' is commonly associated with projects up to 25 MW - Statement 2 - Incorrect.
Hydropower projects are considered “must-run” sources and are given priority in grid dispatch.
The correct principle is: Small-hydropower questions combine capacity classification, grid-dispatch treatment and tariff regulation. - Statement 3 - Correct.
Tariff determination for small hydel projects is carried out by the State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
In India, 'small hydro' is commonly associated with projects up to 25 MW, while tariff and scheduling treatment is governed by the relevant electricity commission/regulations.
Core Concept
Small-hydropower questions combine capacity classification, grid-dispatch treatment and tariff regulation. In India, 'small hydro' is commonly associated with projects up to 25 MW, while tariff and scheduling treatment is governed by the relevant electricity commission/regulations. Exact must-run provisions should be tied to the applicable policy/order.
Formula / Key Relationship
Hydro power P≈ρgQHη.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A is incorrect because it includes incorrect statement(s) 2 and omits correct statement(s) 3. Option B is incorrect because it includes incorrect statement(s) 2 and omits correct statement(s) 1. Option D is incorrect because it includes incorrect statement(s) 2.
Exam Shortcut / Approach
Keep capacity definition, dispatch status and tariff authority as separate statements.
Common Mistake
Do not assume every renewable technology has identical scheduling treatment.
Quick Revision
Capacity Classification and Tariff is linked with Small Hydel Policy, Small Hydro and Renewable Energy Policy. Keep capacity definition, dispatch status and tariff authority as separate statements.
गुजरात लघु जलविद्युत नीति के संबंध में निम्नलिखित कथनों पर विचार कीजिए:
1. लघु जलविद्युत परियोजनाएँ सामान्यतः 25 MW तक की क्षमता के लिए वर्गीकृत होती हैं।
2. जलविद्युत परियोजनाओं को “मस्ट-रन” स्रोत माना जाता है और ग्रिड डिस्पैच में प्राथमिकता दी जाती है।
3. लघु जलविद्युत परियोजनाओं का टैरिफ निर्धारण राज्य विद्युत नियामक आयोग द्वारा किया जाता है।
ऊपर दिए गए कथनों में से कौन-सा/से सही है/हैं?
उत्तर और चरणबद्ध हल
C — केवल 1 और 3। भारत में 'लघु जलविद्युत' प्रायः 25 MW तक की परियोजनाएँ हैं और टैरिफ SERC निर्धारित करता है। हर जलविद्युत परियोजना को 'मस्ट-रन' मानना सही नहीं; डिस्पैच व्यवस्था नियमों पर निर्भर है। सूत्र: P ≈ ρgQHη।

ગુજરાત નાની જળવિદ્યુત નીતિ અંગે નીચેનાં વિધાનો ધ્યાનમાં લો:
1. નાના જળવિદ્યુત પ્રોજેક્ટ સામાન્ય રીતે 25 MW સુધીની ક્ષમતા માટે વર્ગીકૃત થાય છે.
2. જળવિદ્યુત પ્રોજેક્ટને “મસ્ટ-રન” સ્રોત ગણવામાં આવે છે અને ગ્રિડ ડિસ્પેચમાં પ્રાથમિકતા અપાય છે.
3. નાના જળવિદ્યુત પ્રોજેક્ટનું ટેરિફ નિર્ધારણ રાજ્ય વીજળી નિયમનકારી પંચ દ્વારા થાય છે.
ઉપર આપેલાં વિધાનોમાંથી કયું/કયાં સાચું/સાચાં છે?
જવાબ અને પગલાવાર ઉકેલ
C — ફક્ત 1 અને 3. ભારતમાં 'નાની જળવિદ્યુત' સામાન્ય રીતે 25 MW સુધીના પ્રોજેક્ટ છે અને ટેરિફ SERC નક્કી કરે છે. દરેક જળવિદ્યુત પ્રોજેક્ટને 'મસ્ટ-રન' ગણવો યોગ્ય નથી; ડિસ્પેચ વ્યવસ્થા નિયમો પર આધાર રાખે છે. સૂત્ર: P ≈ ρgQHη.
