3.2 A hydro-electric power station has an overall efficiency of 73% with a reservoir water capacity of (800 x 106 ) m3 having an area of 5.08km² . The reservoir water capacity has a potential of generating an overall energy of (300 x 103 ) MWh. The reservoir depth decreases by 0.45% after supplying a maximum load demand of 300 MW for the entire day at a load factor of 47.2%. 1. Determine the electrical energy consumed per day (MWh)& the depth of the reservoir (metres) 2.Determine the total electrical energy that can be generated from the power station (MWh) & the effective water head (metres) 3.Determine the average volumetric flow rate of water (m³/s)
