A hydroelectric power plant (Fig. E3.19) takes in 30 m'/s of water through its turbine and dis- charges it to the atmosphere at V, = 2 m/s. The head loss in the turbine and penstock system is = 20 m. Assuming turbulent flow, a 1.06, estimate the power in MW extracted by the tur- hy bine. 2 = 100 m Water 30 m'/s 3=0m 2 m/s Turbine

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.
