Hydroelectric Power Station (25 marks)
Draw a schematic diagram of the hydroelectric power station shown in Fig. 3 and clearly label all nodes and elements in your diagram. Construct a linear graph representation for the hydroelectric power station. A river supplies the reservoir and is modelled as a flow source. The pipe is long and relatively small in diameter, and the turbine/generator is to be modelled by a D-Type element.
(a) Derive the elemental equation for the reservoir assuming it is a linear element and indicate how a numerical value for the element parameter might be obtained. Is it reasonable to expect the element to be linear? Why or why not?
(b) Do the same for all elements associated with the long pipe.
