Please do not use AI, answer with worked answers, practice q's;A hydropower plant with 900MW rated power has both upper and lower reservoirs. The water drains from the upper reservoir to
the lower one, for storage, and in that process generates power through the turbine-generator system.
The upper reservoir has a surface area of 500,000m2 and has maximum water level of 2250m and minimum water level of 2200m.
The lower reservoir is at 1900m.
Calculate (neglecting all losses and head variation during water flow):
The volume of water displaced from the upper reservoir to the lower reservoir (assuming vertical reservoir walls) is Blank 1x
10?bar(6)m3
The mass of displaced water (density =1000kgm3) is Blank 2109kg
Average head of the upper reservoir with respect to the lower reservoir Blank 3m
Potential energy of the water (use g=9.81ms2) Blank 41012J
Duration for which the plant can run autonomously at its rated power Blank 5 hrs
