36-45. A study shows that the average volume flow rate of water at Matuno river located at Nueva
Vizcaya is approximately 2 m3/s for a year. Super Mario Corporation is planning to build a
hydroelectric power plant which cost 45 million pesos. Breakeven is estimated to be 15 years if
energy is to be sold at 25 cents per kW-h. Is it justifiable? Expected parameters are as follows:
Location of reservoir
200 m above sea level
Location of tailrace
100 m above sea level
Turbine efficiency
87%
Generator efficiency
85%
