ASSIGNMENT/CEP FOR CQI

SUBJECT: HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING

ASSIGNING DATE: 14-11-2023

SUBMISSION DATE: 28-11-2023

PROBLEM STATEMENT:

The following set of data relates to a natural stream at a potential hydro-power site,
the values are averaged over the past 50 years record.

For the given scenarios:

 Estimate the firm and secondary power.

 Plot flow duration curve, power duration curve.
 Estimate total annual KWhs generated from the power plant, annual
revenue generated if the cost per unit is 2.5 Rs. / kWH. Also propose the no.
of turbines to be installed if capacity of one turbine is 25 m3/sec.

The given scenarios are:

a) When no storage facilities are available.

b) When the specified discharges are to be released from the reservoir for
hydropower generation.
c) Estimate minimum storage required in the Reservoir if the base power of the
scenario (a) is to be doubled.
