A Neuro-Fuzzy Approach for Calculating Time Delay and Cost Overrun of a Hydropower Plant

Abstract

The human has developed a technology to produce electricity through the hydroelectric power plant to make use of water in agriculture, transport, industry, and energy. Many hydroelectric power projects does not attain all targets related to time and cost because of different risk and uncertainties present in the project. Following work is concentrated towards finding factors which are primarily responsible for time delay and cost overrun which constructing hydropower plant. The work has been done with the help of data, collected through questionnaire surveys with experts. Project failure occurs in terms of time delay and cost overrun.
