Formula for Hydro Power Calculation
Power(kw)=gxQxHxn :
where g= gravity=9.81
Q=net discharge in cumecs
H=net head in metres
n= efficiency (85%)
Typical calculation
| Gross head | 6.30 | m |
| Head loss | 10.00 | % |
| Net head | 5.67 | m |
| Discharge | 360.00 | cusecs |
| Majors drawal | 23.00 | cusecs |
| Net discharge | 337.00 | cusecs |
| 1cumec= | 35.31 | cusecs |
| Discharge | 9.54 | cumecs |
| Efficiency | 0.85 | |
| Gravity | 9.81 | |
| Plant capacity | 451.24 | KW |
| Day | 24.00 | hours |
| Over load | 15.00 | % |
| Net capacity | 518.92 | KW |
| Max energy in a day | 12454.10 | Units |
| Milion | 1000000 | |
| Year | 365 | days |
| Total energy per year | 3.95 | MU |
