Amount of Hydropower Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Amount of Hydropower?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

P = \frac{γ f \cdot q flow \cdot (H l - H Water) \cdot η}{1000}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

P = \frac{9.81kN/m³ \cdot 32m³/s \cdot (5m - 2.3m) \cdot 0.8}{1000}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

P = \frac{9.81 \cdot 32 \cdot (5 - 2.3) \cdot 0.8}{1000}

Next Step Evaluate

∴

P = 678.0672W

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

P = 0.6780672kW

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

P = 0.6781kW

Formulas to find Efficiency of Hydropower

Other formulas in Assessment of Available Power category

Go Efficiency of Hydropower Station given Amount of Hydropower

η = \frac{P}{9.81 \cdot q flow \cdot (H l - H Water)}

Go Head given Amount of Hydropower

H Water = (\frac{P}{9.81 \cdot q flow \cdot η}) + h location

Go Head Loss given Amount of Hydropower

h location = ((\frac{P}{9.81 \cdot q flow \cdot η}) - H Water)

Go Energy through Hydraulic Turbines

E Turbines = (9.81 \cdot q flow \cdot (H Water - h location) \cdot η \cdot T w)

How to Evaluate Amount of Hydropower?

Amount of Hydropower evaluator uses Amount of Hydropower = (Specific Weight of Liquid*Rate of Flow*(Head loss-Head of Water)*Efficiency of Hydropower)/1000 to evaluate the Amount of Hydropower, The Amount of Hydropower is defined as a form of renewable energy that uses the water stored in dams, as well as flowing in rivers to create electricity in hydropower plants. Amount of Hydropower is denoted by P symbol.
