(SPH) and under ground power house (UGPH) ? (4 Mark)

PART TWO (2) : NUMERCAL PROBLEMS (10 %)

Q1. In an electrical district the following are some of the different kinds of demand : Domestic
demand= 3 Mw, Irrigation demand= 5 Mw , Water supply demand = 2 Mw, Indisturial demand= 32
Mw, office demand = 2 Mw and public utilities = 4Mw were determined . Calculate the required
installed capacity of the power station . Assume 15 % of loss and 25 % of capacity as reserve .
Assume diversity factor as =1.5 (5 mark)

Q2: A Hydro_ electric power station has a reservior of area 24 kilometer square and capacity of
5*10^6 cubic meter . The effective head of water is 100 m. The penstock, turbine , generation
efficiencies are 95 % , 90 %, and 85 % respectively.

(a) calculate the total electrical energy that can be generated from the station (2 mark)

(b) If a load of 15,000 kw has been supplied for 3 hrs, find the fall im the reservior (3 mark)
