Correct answer is (a) 2352 KW

For explanation I would say: The electrical energy (in kW) = 7.84 Q H (using 80% efficiency) where H is the design head in meters and Q is the design discharge in cumecs.

Electrical energy = 7.84 x 50 x 6 = 2352 kW.

400 cumecs of water are being released from dam storage to meet the downstream demand through the turbines of the connected hydro plant. The effective head of water acting on the turbines is 50 m. The efficiency of the hydro plant is 0.8. The electrical power generated from this plant is __________________
