Energy Supply
The peak load of the entire station being 40 KVA, Dakshin Gangotri Station was energised by three 62.5 KVA three-phase generators for duty maintenance and stand by. A weekly storage tank of 4500 litre capacity was provided within the station from which the fuel was pumped to daily storage tanks for the generators and boilers. The annual requirement of about 200 metric tons of fuels was stored in barrels at a distance from the station. Boilers were provided for central heating and to melt ice in the snow melt plant to provide water supply. A steady temperature of 15°C was maintained inside the station by circulating hot water under low pressure through radiators. Running hot and cold water was made available at all points.
