Module 1: Hydro Power plant
1st yr EEE
1. A hydro electric plant operates under an effective head of 50 meters and a discharge of 94 m3/sec.
Determine the power developed?
2. A hydro-electric generating station is supplied from a reservoir of capacity5*10 6 cubic meters at a
head of 200 meters. Find the total energy available in kwh if the overall efficiency is 75%.
3. A hydroelectric power station is supplied from a reservoir of capacity 3*107 m3 at a head of 150 m.
Determine the total energy available in Kwh if the overall efficiency of the plant is 70%.
4. Determine the quantity of water that will flow through the turbine to generator 50Kwh of energy. If
the effective head of water is 200 meters and overall efficiency is 70%.
5. A hydroelectric power station is supplied from a reservoir having an area of 50km2 and a head of 50
m. If the overall efficiency of the plant be 60%, find the rate at which the water level will fall when
the station is generating 30000Kw.
