Tailwater recycling for hydro-power generation, Niger River
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by A.W. Alayande, O.A. BamgboyeIn this paper an alternative
source of water for the effective running of the Kainji
and Jebba hydro-power stations were found in recycling
the Jebba tailwater to the headwaters of the Malendo river
systems. The result shows that a recycle of 60% of the flow
at Lokoja back to Kainji reservoir will guarantee adequate
supply of the daily water requirements for the generation of
the full installed capacities of 760MW and 540MW of
electricity at Kainj and Jebba.
