FAQ

What is the Flow Rate?

Flow Rate in a hydroelectric power plant is controlled to maximize the amount of electricity generated while minimizing any negative impacts on the environment. Flow Rate is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Flow Rate is always positive.

Can the Flow Rate be negative?

No, the Flow Rate, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.

What unit is used to measure Flow Rate?

Flow Rate is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second[m³/s] for Volumetric Flow Rate. Cubic Meter per Day[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Hour[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Minute[m³/s] are the few other units in which Flow Rate can be measured.
