Question
At a potential hydro-plant site, the average elevation of headwater is 582m, the tailwater is 480m. The average annual water flow was determined to be equal to that volume flowing through a rectangular channel 8.15m wide, a depth of 1.22m and the velocity is 4.6m. The turbine efficiency is 87%, generator efficiency is 95%, and a head loss is 3.5% of the gross head. Find the following:
 
a. the generator power in kW
44,150
28,206
36,490
 
b. the annual energy (kWH per year) that can be produced if the plant operation is 345 days per year
235,154,731
302,142,714
244,334,189
 
c. the annual income of the plant if the cost of the energy produced is P0.60 per kW-hr
141,092,838
181,285,628
162,653,256
