Great video, I'm building a financial model template for a hydro power dam and this was the first piece of content on the entire internet that made sense. I was able to use the calcs and it makes sense! Thanks.
Asalamualikum, could I know why you have multiplied by the efficiency, in power equation, where as in the previous video you divided the efficiency in the power equation. Thank you
It depends on the size of the water reserve. The equation is based on a single moment in time and that the height of the top of the water in the reserve is 40m. In a huge dam type situation, the amount put through the turbine is usually equal to the amount of water that is being replaced into the dam, so the 40m would never change, and your 91kW would be consistent. However, if you do this type of calculation with a storage container on a homestead, you could do two calculations, one with the top of the container and one at the bottom of the container, and find an average from those two knowing that as the tank empties, the water level lowers and thus you get less watts as time goes on... and of course do the calculation of how many hours until your container is empty as once the tank is empty, no more electricity. The second part of your question depends completely on what turbine you use and you can use a simple equation to figure out the volts volts= watts/amps
In a Micro Hydro design, without knowing flow rate, is it acceptable to assume velocity will not exceed 2m/s? I'm sorry to bother you, I just need to explain to a dreamer that he is limited by certain constraints.
I'm from Brazil and I would like to ask somethings about this theme! Do you have a current email or whatsapp ? Thanks a lot for this video! Congratulations!

Thanks a lot as a student from Turkey🇹🇷. I can easily review all lecture with your helpful videos.
Thanks for the comment, glad they help!

Love your vids, thanks!
Thanks for comment!
Is that 91kW for the full volume of the reservoir? Could the voltage output of that system be calculated as well?

Thanks helpfull
Awesome thanks
Thanks for the comment!
hi, how you find the "f", thanks!
In this example, it is just given in the question. But if it was not given, you could find it using a Moody Diagram.
