“Our hydraulic power plant can be constructed in two months time and costs US $654 per kW”
VADODARA: If this invention of budding engineers from the city makes its way to market, your electricity bill will come down drastically. Two final year mechanical engineering students from the city have designed a completely new technology that generates electricity using a hydraulic power plant that promises to produce world’s cheapest electricity!
If the total cost of one unit electricity in Gujarat is more than Rs 5 per unit, the invention of these students can get electricity at just 80 paise per unit. Students – Sandeep Pillai and Shivam Purohit – have already got their invention patented.
“Our technology generates electricity without using coal, gas, water, wind, tidal, nuclear or solar energy. The electricity generated using this technology is cheaper than that produced by any other electricity generation method existing in the world today,” says Pillai, a student of Sigma Institute of Engineering.
Pillai and Purohit have designed the power plant project at Rs 5.30 lakh that can generate 6,57,000 kilowatt hour (kW-h) energy in five years time.
“As this power plant does not require any resource like wind, water or coal to operate, the plant is completely mobile and can be established anywhere on a small piece of land,” says Purohit, adding that the construction cost and time required for this power plant is just one percent when compared to all other power plants in the world.
For instance, the construction cost of a coal fired power plant which takes three to four years is around US $1,000 to 1,700 per kilowatt (kW). Similarly, the construction cost of gas fired plant, nuclear plant and wind plant comes to be around US $800 to 1,500 per kW, US $1,000 to 2,000 per kW and US $1,000 to 1,800 per kW respectively. “In contrast, our hydraulic power plant can be constructed in two months time and costs US $654 per kW,” says Pillai.
Further, they say, this power plant does not produce any pollution making it not only cheapest but world’s cleanest electricity.
