The purpose of this thesis report was to workout optimum solution plan for Smibelg Hydro power project. The project is located in Lurøy and RODOY regions of Norway. This thesis mainly involves reconnaissance site investigation followed by alternative layout planning design and optimization of the project scheme components using the theoretical knowledge acquired during the course of the masters programme. Simulation of energy production from the power plant has been done using nMag2004 model. Further discussions have been made on the economic viability of the project through economic and financial analysis. Finally Sensitivity analysis is used to foresee the probable outcome of changes on the course of project development and operation.
