18-80 A hydroelectric power plant consists of 18 identi- cal turbine-generator units with an overall plant efficiency of 90 percent. The gross head of the dam is 150 m and the flow rate through each turbine is 3300 L/min. The plant oper- ates 80 percent of time throughout the year and the elec- tricity generated is sold to the utility company at a rate of $0.095/kWh. How much revenue can this plant generate in a year? Answer: $873,000

The Stortemelk hydropower project consists of a single 4.4 MW vertical Kaplan turbine installed at the Botterkloof Dam on the Ash River near Clarens, in the Free State Province of South Africa.Construction commenced in September 2014, completed on time and commissioned in June 2016 using more than 150 different companies at a cost of R2.5 billion. Day to day operations is repetitive ongoing work. Projects are different from operations, state any five project attributes.

c) Water is pumped from a deep well (located 20 m underground) to a hilltop reservoir (located at 50 m above ground level). Water is being transferred at a rate of 4800 LPM while the pump consumes 60,000 kW of electric power in the process. Assume that there are no frictional losses in the piping system and the change in kinetic energy between the inlet and outlet of the piping system is negligible. Determine the overall efficiency of the pump-motor setup.
