Question: 2 . 1 Identify the electricity - generating technology ( ies ) which are most likely to benefit from pumped storage on a national network

2.1 Identify the electricity-generating technology(ies) which are most likely to benefit from pumped storage on a national network and justify your answer. (5)2.2The complications of hydropower systems arise mostly from associated dams and reservoirs. Examine this statement in terms of the common negative environmental impacts of hydropower. (5)2.3 A single jet impulse turbine of 10 MW capacity is to work under a head of 500 m. If the specific speed of the turbine is 10, the overall efficiency is 80%. Determine the diameters of the jet and the bucket wheel. Assume the speed of the bucket wheel as 0.46 of the jet velocity. Use the specific number in the form =()5/4, where N is the number of revolutions per minute. Assume gravity constant and density of water to be 9.81 m/s2 and 1000 kg/m3 respectively.
