- A Hydropower Plants Could Be Classified According To The Quantity Of Water Water Head Plant Capacity And Load Chara 1 (42.01 KiB) Viewed 41 times
(a) Hydropower plants could be classified according to the quantity of water, water head, plant capacity, and load characteristics. Categorize the hydropower plants- (1) According to the water head. (11) According to the load characteristics. (H) (2 marks) (b) A power plant is generating maximum power of 200 MW. However, the energy demand in the area is increased to 600 MW. (1) Propose a possible solution to increase power generation by replacing a new type of turbine? (3 marks) Categorize water turbines based on the direction of water flow in the runner. (2 marks) (c) The head (the distance the waterfalls) is 20 meters in Run-of-River Hydro Power Plant as shown in Figure 2. The typical flow rate of water in the turbine is AB m³/s (AB is the last two digits of your new matric number). Express what would be happened in power generation if the water flow rate in the river becomes suddenly half? Upper Liver Tunnel (3 marks) Power house Lower river Figure 2: Schematic of Run-of-River Hydro Power Plant (5 marks)
