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.

At hydroelectric electric power plant site, available head and flow rate are 12 m and 6m3/s respectively. If the turbine to be installed is required to run at 2 rev/sec with an over-all efficiency of 60%. Determine the suitable type of turbine for this site ?
Pls answer thank you! At a proposed hydroelectric plant site, the average elevation of headwater is 600 m, the tailwater elevation is 480 m. The average annual water flow is determined to be equal to the volume flowing through a rectangular channel 4 m wide and 0.5 m deep and average velocity of 5.5 m/sec. Assuming that the plant site can develop if the hydraulic turbine that will be used has an efficiency of 80% and generator efficiency of 92%. Consider a headwork loss of 4% of the available head. Find the annual energy produce in kW.
From a reservoir whose surface elevation is at 30 m, water is pumped to an elevated reservoir at an elevation of 95 m. The head loss in the 60 cm diameter suction pipe is 10 m and that of the 50 cm discharge pipe is 15 m. Determine the following if the discharge is to be maintained at 480 liters per second. Assume total head loss between the two reservoirs is 20 m. Compute the power input of the pump assuming it operates at 80% efficiency.
8. Energy Equation Water at the Lake William Dam enters a hydraulic turbine through a 30 cm diameter pipe at a rate of 0.6 m³/s and exits through a 25-cm diameter pipe. For the system, elevation effects are negligible and the pressure drop across the turbine is measured to be 148 kPa. For a combined turbine-generator efficiency of 83 percent, calculate (a) hurbine and (b) Wubrine- You look in the FE handbook and see: W turbine = 7/turbine-gen”ightutine, e turbine-genhtubine, e 30 cm diameter 25 cm diameter Turbine Generator
Two reservoirs A and B have elevations of 250m and 100m respectively. It is connected by a pipe having a diameter of 250mm and a length of 100m. A turbine is installed at point in between reservoirs A and B. If C = 120, compute the following if the discharge flowing in the pipeline is 150 liters/sec. Compute the power generated by the turbine.
Pls answer ASAP. A hydroelectric power plant takes in 1060 ft³/s of water through its turbine and discharges it to the atmosphere at 7 ft/s. The head loss in the penstock is 66 ft. Estimate the power extracted by the turbine in horsepower. Show fbd.
Two reservoirs A and B have elevations of 250 m and 100 m, respectively. It is connected by a pipe having adiameter of 250 mm and a length of 100 m. A turbine, with an efficiency of 0.95, which is installed at a point inbetween A and B, is used to supply 233 kW of electric power to a nearby community. If the total head loss as watertravelled from reservoir A to B is 25 m, determine the discharge inside the pipe in liters per second.
Water 300 mm d 300 mm Problem 4.113 4.113. This turbine develops 75 kw when the flowrate is 0.6 m's what flowrate may be expected if the turbine is removed?
Read the question carefully and give me right solution with clear calculations. Note: If you don't know the solution please leave it but don't give me wrong solution. At a river a suitable site for a run-of-the river installation has an available head of 13 m between the water intake and the turbine house. Environmental guidelines permit to extract water for hydropower only if it is in excess of 2.8 m3/s. Estimate the power generated in kW when the flow in the river is 10.9 m3/s for a turbine with an efficiency of 90%. Present the answer as integer in kW.
