Prajwal Sapkota_Interview

“Condition Monitoring of hydraulic turbines exposed to sediment erosion”- Prajwal Sapkota, PhD candidate, Turbine Testing Lab (TTL), Kathmandu University


Prajwal Sapkota is a PhD candidate at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Kathmandu University (KU), Nepal. He is writing his PhD thesis on a project within HydroCen (Norwegian Research Centre for Hydropower Technology): FranSed (Francis Turbine for Sediment Laden Waters) at Turbine Testing Lab of KU. KU is one of the three partners of FranSed project.

“I joined team FranSed in January 2019 as a researcher and almost after a year in December 2019, I defended my PhD proposal on "Condition Monitoring of hydraulic turbines exposed to sediment erosion" before the Research Committee of School of Engineering, Kathmandu University”, says Sapkota.

Rektor oration

Rector of NTNU, Gunnar Bovim in Nepal


Norway and Nepal have shared a mutual relationship since many years. Norway has been providing cooperation in terms of knowledge, financial aid and technology to Nepal. Rector of NTNU, Gunnar Bovim visited Nepal on May 2019 together with a delegation from NTNU. In his oration, he has mentioned cooperation in the following sectors between NTNU and Nepal:

  • Renewable energy
  • Health
  • Geology
  • Biology
  • Social sciences
  • Architecture, design and urban development
  • Sustainale development

Please check the insightful oration given by Gunnar Bovim about Norway- Nepal cooperation during his visit to Nepal.                                                  

Ole presentation

Still wondering what FranSed is?? 


Hear it from Principal Investigator himself: 

This video is from Facebook page of Turbine Testing Lab.

Prof Ole Gunnar Dahlhaug gave this presentation during his recent visit to Nepal on May 2019.

Students at TTL

Students from NTNU visited TTL at KU


Ten master students (including one research assistant) from Waterpower laboratory at NTNU attended the symposium as a part of their excursion. Two students presented their papers regarding variable speed operation and sediment erosion which are relevant topic to FranSed. The students also visited the turbine testing lab at KU. Model testing of Francis turbine designed under FranSed project will be tested there as a part of WP 4.
