flyboy,
Since you desire to sell all, you might as well optimize. the neighbor has to be
involved. Determining the optimum cap for the site is quite tricky and repeated
computations has to be made. but you have to have your data (materials cost, energy
selling price (one of your first stop is to the power utitlity office), and estimates
on the maintenance) at hand to input in your computations. A short cut is to know from
existing facilities, which you perceive are of the same type as the one envisaged,
near you or situated in a similar area as yours with regards to rainfall, etc. If
they have a flow data as yours, presented in a graph or flow duration curve, determine
at what flow and in how many days they are generating at full capacity. Of course this
is assuming that that plant we are looking into is designed at optimum. Then, having
your data in a flow duration curve, then determine the flow when the time is as how
many days the model plant is generating at full capacity. That flow
quantity shall be taken as the optimum flow. From thence you can determine the
optimum capacity to be installed in the site. But another thing might govern such as
the market. can the generated power all be absorbed by the demand? Well, this is going
to be a lenghty process.
1900 meters of pipe is long! determine the best route with the shortest penstock line.
Again there is the optimum size for this thing. Local information is needed. is
plastic to that size required available locally? or source is distant. the cost of
transporting it.
Just a little from this side,
Q.
