The weekly discharge of a typical hydroelectric plant is as under :
Day Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat
Discharge(m3/sec) 500 520 850 800 875 900 546
The plant has an effective head of 15 m and an overall efficiency of 85%. If the plant operates on 40% load factor, estimate
(i) the average daily discharge
(ii) pondage required and
(iii) installed capacity of proposed plant.
