A new hydraulic turbine is to be designed to be similar to an existing turbine with following parameters at its best efficiency point: DA = 3 m, n.A = 90 rpm, V.A = 200 m3/s, HA = 55 m, bhpA = 100 MW. The new turbine will have a speed of 110 rpm and the net head will be 40 m. What is the bhp of the new turbine such that it operates most efficiently?                                                   (a) 17.6 MW (b) 23.5 MW (c) 30.2 MW (d) 40.0 MW (e) 53.7 MW

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.
