Energy renewable Question 1(a) The specific speed at which a small hydropower turbine would run under unit head toproduce unit power depends on the turbine type and design. Classify the three types ofsmall hydro turbine, and its corresponding specific speed (ns) for each one.(b) It is required to develop 15,299 kW at 214rpm under a head of 100m with a singlerunner. Propose the type of hydropower turbine that should be installed and explainyour choice.(c) For Rann of Kutch, the basin area of a tidal project is 0.72 km2, with a difference of 6mbetween the high and low water levels. The average available head is 5m and the systemgenerates electric power for 4 hours in each cycle. Assuming the overall efficiency is88%, evaluate the tidal power (kW) at any point of time and the yearly power output.The density of sea water is 1290 kg/m'm and the total number of tidal cycles in a yearis 705.(d) The cost of economy guides that a small-scale tidal power development has variousbenefits and some of them can be quite tangible. Argue with TWO (2) benefits that canbe accrued from tidal power.
