Concept explainers

Electrical Power Generation

In an electric power generator, one type of energy is converted into electrical energy. Power-generating systems are simply a combination of potential or stored energy that is converted to provide kinetic energy, which, in turn, generates electrical energy for use in engines, lighting, heating, and other benefits of modern life.

Question

A hydroelectric power station is supplied from a reservoir having an area of 50 km2 and a
head of 50 m. If overall efficiency of the plant is 60%, find the rate at which the water level
will fall when the station is generating 30000 kW.
