    Septian Dimas
    This document provides 7 examples of calculating the available power from hydroelectric power plants using data on water flow rates, reservoir capacities, heights of falls, catchment areas, rainfall amounts, and plant efficiencies. The examples show how to determine the firm capacity, yearly gross output, electrical energy generated per hour and cubic meter of water, average power generated, total electrical energy that can be generated, and necessary standby capacity for hydroelectric projects.

    AVAILABLE POWER OF

    HYDROELECTRIC POWER
    PLANT
    The power available from falling water can be calculated from the flow
    rate and density of water, the height of fall, and the local acceleration
    due to gravity:
    EXAMPLE 1

    the power output of a turbine that is 85% efficient, with a flow rate of 80
    cubic metres per second (2800 cubic feet per second) and a head of
    145 metres (480 feet):
    EXAMPLE 2.
    A HYDRO-ELECTRIC GENERATING STATION IS SUPPLIED
    FROM A RESERVOIR OF CAPACITY 5 × 106 CUBIC METRES
    AT A HEAD OF 200 METRES. FIND THE TOTAL ENERGY
    AVAILABLE IN KWH IF THE OVERALL EFFICIENCY IS
    75%.
    Example 3
    It has been estimated that a minimum run off of approximately 94 m3/sec will
    be available at a hydraulic project with a head of 39 m. Determine (i) firm
    capacity (ii) yearly gross output. Assume the efficiency of the plant to be 80%
    Example 4
    Water for a hydro-electric station is obtained from a reservoir with a head of
    100 metres. Calculate the electrical energy generated per hour per cubic metre
    of water if the hydraulic efficiency be 0·86 and electrical efficiency 0·92.
    Example 5
    Calculate the average power in kW that can be generated in a hydro-electric project
    from the following data
    • Catchment area = 5 × 109 m2 ; Mean head, H = 30 m
    • Annual rainfall, F = 1·25 m ; Yield factor, K = 80 %
    • Overall efficiency, ηoveall = 70 %
    • If the load factor is 40% , what is the rating of generators installed ?
    Example 6
    A hydro-electric power station has a reservoir of area 2·4
    square kilometres and capacity
    5 × 106 m3. The effective head of water is 100 metres.
    The penstock, turbine and generation efficiencies are
    respectively 95%,90% and 85%.
    (i) Calculate the total electrical energy that can be
    generated from the power station.
    (ii) If a load of 15,000 kW has been supplied for 3 hours,
    find the fall in reservoir level.
    • Example 7
    A factory is located near a water fall where the
    usable head for power generation is 25 m. The
    factory requires continuous power of 400 kW
    throughout the year. The river flow in a year is
    (a) 10 m3/sec for 4 months, (b) 6 m3/sec for 2
    months and (c) 1·5 m3/sec for 6 months.
    (i) If the site is developed as a run-of-river
    type of plant, without storage, determine the
    standby capacity to be provided. Assume
    that overall efficiency of the plant is 80%.
    (ii) (ii) If a reservoir is arranged upstream, will
    any standby unit be necessary ? What will
    be the excess power available ?
