Since hydro power resource is an indigenous and renewable energy, its development enhances energy self-sufficiency. It also contributes toward improving the balance of payment of while thermal power plants provide highefficiency through constant operation, they do not however, have a quick load following characteristic to demand
The efficiency of a hydroelectric plant is typically between 80% and 90%. This means that 10% to 20% of the potential energy is lost during the conversion process. Some of this energy is lost due to friction between the water and the turbine, while some is lost due to other factors such as leakage and evaporation.

The Hydroelectric Power formula is defined the conversion of the kinetic energy of falling or flowing water into electrical energy by means of a turbine connected to a generator and is represented as P h = [g]*ρ w *Q*H or Hydroelectric Power = [g]*Water Density*Flow Rate*Fall Height.Water density in a hydroelectric plant depends on the temperature
Ps,Vs & Ts are air parameters at Normal condition. Solved examples: 1-A 25 m3/sec capacity forced draft fan discharges air at 250 mmwc static pressure and 30 deg C temperature, calculate the air flow at Nm3/hr and Sm3/hr. Pa = 250mmwc = 250/10000 = 0.025 kg/cm2. Va = 25 m3/sec.
Hydroelectric power station is the most economical unit for generating electricity for the nation. High head hydropower plant needs construction of a safe water conveyance system to withstand high
3 m3/s = 3,000 litres per second. Remember that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kg, so m is the same numerically as the flow rate in litres/second, in this case 3,000 kg/s. Now you are ready to calculate the hydropower power: Power (W) = m x g x Hnet x η = 3,000 x 9.81 x 2.25 x 0.751 = 49,729 W = 49.7 kW. Now, do the same for a high-head hydropower
Power=678 kilowatts. So in one hour 678 kilowatts power is generated now to calculate the total power generated in year: To calculate total power generated in year, we multiply the power from our dam by the number of hours in a year. Electric Energy = 678 kilowatts x 24 hours per day x 365 days per year.

Case studies are conducted based on one Swedish hydro power plant (HPP) and three Chinese plants. The simulation and on-site measurements are compared for start-up, no-load operation, normal
One of the first steps in planning is to measure the power potential of the stream. The amount of power that can be obtained from a stream depends on: The amount of water flow. The height which the water falls (head) The efficiency of the plant to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. CHAPTER 2.
However, as simple as the operating principle of hydro turbines might seem, significant effort goes into the design of this system. The key to optimizing their utility lies in understanding the basic calculations governing their operation. Figure 1: A hydro turbine is an essential component of the hydroelectric plant.
