Design Parameter Requirement: Head (H): m. Flow (Q): cms 10.00 1.50 Design Flow, Qo Qmean .75Qmean .5Qmean .33Qmean Capacity Factor, % 40 50 60 70

Peak Power Rate: P = 7QH Energy Output: E = PCF*8760


367,920.00 KWh/yr. 105.00 Kwatts

Turbine Shaft Power Produced: P = gQH


88.29 KWatts

Where: P = Mechanical Power produced at the turbine shaft (Watts) = Hydraullic Efficiency of the Turbine <100 Kw >100 Kw 60 - 80 80 - 90 60.00 85.00 = Water density 1,000.00 kgs/cu.m. g = Acceleration due to gravity 9.81 m/sec Q = Volume flow rate passing through the turbine, cu.m./sec. H = Effective pressure head of water across the turbine, m.
