Generating stations 11

 Question = A hydroelectric generating station is supplied from a reservoir of capacity 5 × 10⁶ cubic metre at a head of 200 metres . find the total energy available in kWh, if the overall efficiency is 75% ?

Solution = weight of water available is w = volume of water × density ,

 » 5 × 10⁶ × 1000 ( mass of 1m³ of water is 1000 kgs ) 

» 5 × 10⁹ kg , = 5 × 10⁹ × 9.81 N , 

» electrical energy available = w × h × overall efficiency ,  = 5 × 10⁹ × 9.81 × 200 × 0.75 watt second , 

» for hour = ÷ 3600  , and for kilo  = ÷ 1000 , 

»  5 × 10⁹ × 9.81 × 200 × 0.75 ÷ 3600 × 1000 , 

» 2.044 × 10⁶ kWh , answer ✓
