A RoR plant has a minimum flow of 30 m³/s and net head of 70 m. The overall efficiency of plant is 85%. Calculate the installed capacity of the plant (i) Without pondage (designed for pure RoR plant) and (ii) If the plant is designed for a peaking plant with 6 hours peaking. The plant has two sets of units such that one unit full capacity if operating during off peak hour. Total evaporation and other losses is 5% of the stored water. [6]
