A run-of-river hydro-electric plant with pondage has the following data : Installed capacity = 10 MW  ;  Water head, H = 20 m Overall efficiency, η overall = 80%   ;  Load factor = 40%   a. If discharge is 10 m3/sec, power devloped = 1962 kW b. If discharge is 1 m3/sec, power devloped   = 1962/10 c. If discharge is 6 m3/sec, power devloped   = 1962 × 6/10 Determine the river discharge in m3/sec required for the plant. If on a particular day, the river flow is 20 m3/sec, what load factor can the plant supply ?

A run-of-river hydro-electric plant with pondage has the following data : Installed capacity = 10 MW  ;  Water head, H = 20 m Overall efficiency, η overall = 80%   ;  Load factor = 40%
 
a. If discharge is 10 m3/sec, power devloped = 1962 kW
b. If discharge is 1 m3/sec, power devloped   = 1962/10
c. If discharge is 6 m3/sec, power devloped   = 1962 × 6/10

Determine the river discharge in m3/sec required for the plant.

If on a particular day, the river flow is 20 m3/sec, what load factor can the plant supply ?
