| In recent years the project of water transmission had an increasing trend in Iran. However, the issue of electrical energy related to these project had recieved less attention. Another important issue regarding the power generation is the amount of virtual water to produce each kilowatt hour of water generation. In this regard the current paper has examined the amount of virtual water for the production of electricity, in the water transmmission line from Safaroud dam to Kerman. The potential of producing hydroelectric power and as a result the amount of virtual water due to this amount of production has been checked and calculated. For this purpose, first, the transmmission line has been simulated in WaterGEMS software, the hydroelectric power generation potential has been calculated. On the other hand by calculating the average amount of virtual water to produce each kilowatt hour of electricity, the amont of virtual water saved in the case of producing this amout of hydroelectric power has ben calculated. the results show that there is 72.5 Gigawatt hours of hydroelectric power generation capability in the system, and if this amount of hydroelectric power is produced, 45639 cubic meters of virtual water will be saved per year. |
