A remote community in Marikina plans to put up a small hydro-electric plant to service six closely located barangays estimated to consume 52,650,000 KW-hrs per annum. Expected flow if water is 1665 m³/min. The most favorable location for the plant fixes the tail water level at 480 m. The manufacturer of turbine generator set have indicated the following performance data: turbine efficiency 87%; generator efficiency is 92%; loss in head work not exceed 3.8% of available head. In order to pinpoint the most suitable area for the dam, determine the head water elevation in m.

. A remote community in Mountain Province plans to put a small hydroelectric plant to service six
closely-located barangays estimated to consume 52,650,000 kW-hrs per annum. Expected flow of
water is 1665 m³/min. The most favourable location for the plant fixes the tailwater level at 480
m. The manufacturer of the turbine generator set have indicated the following performance data:
turbine efficiency 87%, generator efficiency 92%, loss in head work not exceed 3.8% of available
head. On order to pinpoint the most suitable area for the dam, determine the headwater elevation.
Answer: A
A. 508.76 m
B. 605.87 m
C. 750.08 m
D. 875.06 m
