This section calculates the hydropower energy production from a falling water with specified discharge. Below is the general equation for power output:
Enter the following parameters:
****************************************Input Parameters:
Head of falling water: m
Discharge of falling water: m3/s
System efficiency: %
Gravitational acceleration: 9.81 m2/s
----------------------------------------
Output:
Power output: 0 kW
