Need asap... A village has 1,182 persons. Each person uses 13.4 kWh of electricity per day. They are considering installing a small run of river hydroelectric facility where the flow rate is 3.0 m3/s and the equivalent head is 20 m. The system has 90% efficiency and pipe losses are expected to be 5%. Determine if the proposed run-of-river facility can produce the required daily energy requirements if a micro hydrokinetic water turbine is used.

Problem- Two turbo-generators, each capacity 25,000 kW, have been installed at a hydel power station. The load on the hydel plant varies from 15,000 kW to 40,000 kW. What is the total installed plant capacity and the load factor.
A new 144 MW hydropower station is to be built at a site where the available head is estimated at 270 m. The generators require the turbine to rotate at 10 rad/sec. The only available turbines are Francis turbines with KN (the non-dimensional parameter to classify turbine ) equal to 0.08. Determine the number of turbines required.
4) A deepwell pump delivers water in a distribution system, the total dynamic head of the pump is 250ft & the system flow rate is 200gpm. The efficiency of the deepwell pump and motor are 80% and 70% respectively. If the power consumption costs 20pesos per kW-hr, how much is the power consumption if the pump withdraws 7000 cubic meters of water?
Problem T3 If the shaft power is 82kw and the cost of the electricity is $0.10 kwh; estimate the cost of the electricity for one hour. Answer $8.2
A factory is located near a waterfall where the usable head for power generation is 26 m. The factory requires continuous power of 500 kW throughout the year. The river flow in a year is (a) 6 m3/sec for 6 months, and (c) 2 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 85%. (ii) If a reservoir is arranged upstream, will any standby unit be necessary, and what is the excess power?
A Mindanao province where a hydroelectric power station is to be constructed has an average annual rainfall of1.93m. The catchment's area 260 km2 with an available head of 32m. Only 82% of the rainfall can be collected and 5/8 of the impounded water is available for power. The load factor of the station is 80%, the penstock efficiency is 94%, turbine efficiency 78% and the generator efficiency is 88%. Calculate the installed capacity of the station
