A hydroelectric power plant is to be constructed. The place has an annual rainfall of 190 cm. The available catchment area is 250 sq. km with an available head of 30 meters. On the average, only 85% of the rainfall can be collected in and 70% of the impounded water is available for power. Assuming turbine and generator efficiencies of 80% and 92% respectively, what will be the average power generated.

A coal fired Power Plant with 3000 kW rated capacity costs P 15,000 per kW installed. Annual operating cost P 12 million; annual maintenance cost P 8 million; annual depreciation P 15 million; interest on investment per year 8% and cost of coal P 800 per ton. If one pound of coal is needed to generate 1 kW-hr, find the total annual cost to operate the plant. Plant capacity factor is 50%.
