𝑷 P is the turbine power (W),
ɳ= is the density of water (1,000 kg/m3),
𝝆𝒈𝑯𝑸
g is the acceleration of gravity (m2/s),
Q is the water flow rate through the unit (m3/s, referred
to as cms), and
H is the head (m) for the unit (headwater elevation
minus tail water elevation);

CONCLUSSION
o The optimized plant potential power that the plant could produce between the
range of 40.20 to 643.94 MW;
o Kept the scheduling efficiency the plant could improvement in generation
efficiency of 0.78% and energy generation of 6,432,006 MWh per 3 years.
RECOMANDATION
o The plants should be measurement the unit characteristics for all units/turbine
o The should follow the plant generation efficiency;
o The frequency of the timestamp of Nam Leuk should be need to improve by 5-
15 minute at least
