Assignment 1 (HEP)

1) This document provides an assignment question for an EE-455 Power Generation course. Students are asked to submit solutions in groups of two by February 19, 2016. 2) The question asks students to calculate key parameters for a hydroelectric power plant with 4 generating units, each with a Pelton turbine coupled to a 70,000 kVA synchronous generator. The plant has a total output of 260 MW. 3) Students must calculate: i) the synchronous speed of the generators, ii) the water flow rate, iii) the available hydraulic power, and iv) the daily electrical energy output if operating 10 hours per day. Clear calculations must be shown.

EE-455 POWER GENERATION

Marks: 10

ASSIGNMENT: 1
Firm Deadline: 19 Feb 2016 (Friday).

(Late Assignments after the deadline will not be accepted)

You can submit this assignment in groups of two.


Submit a written solution to the following problem related to a Hydroelectric Power Plant. Please ensure
that both group members write their full names & registration numbers on the solution being submitted.

Question:
A hydroelectric power plant is equipped with four power generating units, with each
unit comprising of a vertical shaft Pelton turbine coupled with a 70,000 kVa, 3-phase,
50 Hz synchronous generator. Each synchronous generator has 10 pole-pairs. The
gross available water head is 505 m and the overall efficiency of the power plant is
91 %. The four power generating units together have a total electrical power output
of 260 MW. Calculate the following:
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)

The synchronous speed of the generators (Ns).


The flow rate of water (Q) in m3/s flowing down the penstock.
The available hydraulic power due to water stored at a height. (PHYDRAULIC)
The daily electrical energy output of this power plant in kWh (kilowatthours), if the power plant is in operation everyday for 10 hours.

Note: Please show all calculations clearly & explicitly.
