HYDRO POWER TRAINING INSTITUTE (HPTI) MANGLA.
Currently, Mangla Training Centre is the only source of providing O&M training for hydro power Engineers and technical staff. It was established in 1977 and functioning in very old building, relying upon limited resources.
WAPDA has planned to upgrade the existing training centre and proposed establishment of Hydropower Training Institute (HPTI) at Mangla with state of the art Laboratory equipment which will meet the following objectives for training of Engineers & Technical staff.
- To enhance technical capability of the Engineers regarding the modern maintenance techniques, covering all the aspects of Hydropower Plant equipment with due emphasis on the latest technology.
- To impart necessary training for introducing the latest computerized Maintenance Management systems at WAPDA Hydel Stations.
- Practical orientation of Engineers and other Technical Staff through Test Laboratories, Workshops etc.
- To get acquainted with the latest practices of Refurbishment and Rehabilitation of old Hydel Stations/ equipment.
- To update the present operating and monitoring procedures.
- To study various technical problems of Hydel units and their solutions through visits to different Hydropower Plants.
- Comprehensive knowledge relating to different stages of new Hydropower Projects.

REFURBISHMENT AND UP-GRADATION OF GENERATING UNITS OF MANGLA POWER STATION
| Location: | Mangla Dam / Power Station is located on River Jhelum at about 120 Km from Islamabad | ||||
| Purpose: | Mangla Dam is a multipurpose Project, primarily designed for Irrigation. The other by products are Power Generation, Fish Culture, Tourism and Navigation. | ||||
| Up-Gradation/ Refurbishment Scheme: | There are four age groups of Mangla machines Units 1~4 (48 years), Units 5~6 (42 years), Units 7~8 (34 years) & Units 9~10 (22 years). Units1~6 with age of 40~50 years have outlived their useful lives due to which more cost and time are required for maintenance of old equipment besides less operational reliability. Some of the important aspects are: · Efficiency of Turbines has reduced from their designed values. · The Hydraulic/Mechanical Equipment have become unreliable due to aging. · Generator winding of existing Units 1~4 & 7~8 is of Class-B insulation whereas the latest Class-F has higher tolerance of temperature. · Control & Protection Equipment of old units have become obsolete and their spare components are not available for being out of production. · Dam life has enhanced after completion of the Dam Raising Project but the old generating units will not have life compatibility with the Dam |
