The Stortemelk hydropower project consists of a single 4.4 MW vertical Kaplan turbine installed at the Botterkloof Dam on the Ash River near Clarens, in the Free State Province of South Africa.Construction commenced in September 2014, completed on time and commissioned in June 2016 using more than 150 different companies at a cost of R2.5 billion. Day to day operations is repetitive ongoing work. Projects are different from operations, state any five project attributes.
2. Consider the system described in the news: at night, when there is energy left, water is pumped from a large lake to a reservoir at 80 m above the lake level. During the day, this water is used to generate energy in a turbine located 80 m below the elevated reservoir. Considering that the water flow is always 5000 liters/s (both at the inlet of the reservoir and at the outlet) and that the pump and turbine efficiencies are 70%, what is the power (in kW) required by the pump and the power (in kW) recovered in the turbine. Data: The pipe diameter is always the same along the system (d = 0.5 m); g = 10 m/s2; γ = 9810 N/m3. Matter transport phenomena; Please make it typeable as handwriting interferes with understanding
Consider the following data relating to performance of a centrifugal pump: speed = 1200 rpm, flow rate = 30 l/s, head = 20 m, and power = 5 kW. If the speed of the pump is increased to 1500 rpm, assuming the efficiency is unaltered, the new flow rate and head, respectively, will be 46.9 l/s and 25.0 m 37.5 l/s and 25.0 m 46.9 l/s and 31.3 37.5 l/s and 31.3 m
Discuss the benefits of pumped storage hydropower (PSH).
A centrifugal pump is driven by a motor. The performance of the pump reveals the following information:Power input to the pump by the motor (kW):0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2Power input to the fluid by the pump (kW):0.3, 0.55, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0Plot the efficiency curve. The efficiency of a pump is a function of the flow rate. Assume that the flow-rate readings corresponding to power data points are equally spaced.
