A constituent of a city proposed to build a hydroelectric powerplant to extract power from a waterfall that is 69 meters high and has an average discharge of 4.20 m³/s. The mayor promised to consider the project if it yields at least 2.5 MW of power even if the turbine efficiency is at 70%. Will this project be considered or not?

Components of Hydroelectric Power Plant

A hydro electric power plant derives the energy from the force of fast moving water to harness energy. The demand for energy needs has impacted the environment resulting in global warming. Extensive use of non-renewable energy sources like petrol and diesel is the primary reason for environmental pollution. A major shift from non-renewable energy sources to renewable energy sources is the only solution to encounter the rising issue of environmental damage.
