The flow-duration curve of Fig. 7.10 was developed for the proposed run-of-river hydroelectric, power project analyzed in Example 7.10. The present problem consists of reliability analyses for an alternative hydropower plant design at the same location. The flow-duration curve of Fig.7.10 is still valid. However, the proposed alternative plant has a constant head of 18 m, an installed capacity of 125,000 kW, and an efficiency of 0 80. Determine the (a) firm energy and (b) the secondary energy that can be provided at least 60 percent of the time.
