Water Turbine Generated Power Calculation
The generated shaft power can be calculated using the following equation:
P 1 2 =hh rgHQ
Whereas:
P - generated power(kW);
h1 - efficiency of turbine generator (0.7-0.8);
h2 - efficiency of inlet pipe (0.80 - 0.95); r - density of fluid (1), g - acceleration of gravity (m 2 /s), (9.8);
H – head (m), the straight distance between tank water level and installation position;
Q - flow (m 3 /s), Q = Av , A - cross section area of inlet pipe (m 2 ), v - flow velocity (m/s).
