At a proposed hydro-electric power plant site, the average elevation of the headwater is 600 m, the tailwater elevation is 480 m. Average annual water flow is determined to be equal to that volume flowing through a rectangular channel 4 m wide and0.5 m deep and average velocity of 5.5 m/sec. Assuming that the plant will operate 350 days per year, find the annual energy in KW-HR that the power site can develop if the hydraulic turbine that will be used has an efficiency 80% and generator efficiency of 92%. Consider a headwork loss of 4% of the available head. (76,854,851 KW-hr)
