STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Energy = [g]*Water Density*Flow Rate*Fall Height*Turbine Efficiency*Operating Time per Year
E = [g]*ρ_w*Q*H*η*t
This formula uses 1 Constants, 6 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Energy generated by a hydroelectric plant depends on several factors, including the head of water, the flow rate of the water, and the efficiency of the turbine and generator.
Water Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Water density in a hydroelectric plant depends on the temperature and pressure conditions inside the plant.
Flow Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Flow Rate in a hydroelectric power plant is controlled to maximize the amount of electricity generated while minimizing any negative impacts on the environment.
Fall Height - (Measured in Meter) - Fall height, is an important factor in hydroelectric power generation. It refers to the vertical distance that the water falls from the intake point to the turbine.
Turbine Efficiency - Turbine efficiency is an important factor to consider in the design and operation of a hydroelectric plant. The ratio of the mechanical power output to the hydraulic power input.
Operating Time per Year - (Measured in Second) - Operating time per year in a hydroelectric plant can vary depending on a number of factors such as the size of the plant, the availability of water, and the demand for electricity.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Water Density: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Flow Rate: 2.1 Cubic Meter per Second --> 2.1 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Fall Height: 250 Meter --> 250 Meter No Conversion Required
Turbine Efficiency: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required
Operating Time per Year: 8760 Hour --> 31536000 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

E = [g]*ρ_w*Q*H*η*t --> [g]*1000*2.1*250*0.8*31536000

Evaluating ... ...

E = 129890256048000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

129890256048000 Joule -->36080.62668 Megawatt-Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

36080.62668 ≈ 36080.63 Megawatt-Hour <-- Energy
