Pumped Storage/ Hydro Expert

Societies develop by connecting people with each other, with services and with resources in increasingly productive and sustainable ways. Our mission is to enable the most disadvantaged populations to make these connections so that they can advance, for the benefit of all of us.

We do this by helping low- and middle-income countries develop the ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ infrastructure that people need to connect. This can range from creating ‘hard’ infrastructure such as transport networks that link impoverished farmers to markets or communities to health facilities, through to developing ‘soft’ infrastructure such as the institutions, systems and skills required to deliver public services to the disadvantaged or to support inclusive economic growth.

IMC Worldwide: A DT Global Company is working actively on PPP projects in South Asia (including Nepal and Bangladesh) and intends to commission various studies for developing green projects which are beneficial for the environment. To deliver these studies, experts (individuals or firms) are required. 

The technical requirements are detailed below, but in addition it is essential that the experts have the following skills and attitude: 

  • Analytical mindset
  • Curiosity to dig and find data
  • Excellence/ Comfort with numbers
  • Expertise in MS packages

Whilst technical specific knowledge is required, the attitude and the ability to convince IMC on how these studies will be executed, is of extreme importance. Please note, these assignments are considered prefeasibility studies as they will be based on estimates without field investigation in most of the cases.

Pumped Storage/ Hydro Expert

Pumped hydro energy storage is far cheaper than batteries, hydrogen or other storage technologies including hydro for overnight and longer-term storage, which is why it has 95 per cent of the global storage market. Importantly, none of these sites requires any rivers to be dammed, which eliminates a high potential environmental and social cost.

Objectives & Scope of Work/ Terms of Reference (ToR)

The objective of this ToR is to select 3 to 4 sites, which are doable from technical, social and environmental perspective. The activities will inter alia include:

1. Selection of 3 to 4 sites for further development.

2. Cost Estimates (ballpark) along with schematics and transmission length and voltage

3. Create unitary models which can estimate, preliminary cost based on:

  • Water Capacity in the reservoirs i.e., lower and upper
  • Climate scenarios- precipitation and source of water
  • Cost (capex)of joining the 2 reservoirs through pipes/ tunnels etc.
  • Opex for the facility
  • Sizing of the Turbine and how the cost varies depending upon the MWs being catered to.
  • Is it possible to retrofit the existing turbines (brownfield development) and what are the cost implications?
  • Modality for pumping options
  • Total power/energy needed for pumping during off-peak hours
  • A general overview of the environmental impacts and if possible, the biodiversity importance of the lakes (if lakes are proposed)/water bodies.
Experience

  • The Consultant will have 8 to 10 years of experience in planning, designing and/ or implementation of pumped storage projects.
