Hydroelectric power is a type of energy obtained from the force of falling water, which is used to generate electrical power. Hydroelectricity is the term used to describe electricity generated using hydropower.
Hydroelectric power is the most common type of energy that is generated from water, and it is used to generate around 90% of all the electricity used in the world.
The electric power output of a hydroelectric power plant that receives water at a rate of 55 m³/s from an elevation of 133 m using a turbine-generator with an efficiency .
The mass of water per second is given byρ * Q, where Q is the flow rate of water, and ρ is the density of water. At o20°C, the density of water is 998.23 kg/m³, and the flow rate of water is 55 m³/s.
The height of water is given by the difference between the top and bottom of the plant, which is 133 m.Plugging in the values.
