    This document contains two questions about analyzing small hydropower and mini-grid systems. The first question asks to calculate the plant factor and availability percentages for a 30kW hydropower scheme with monthly generation values provided. It also asks to calculate availability if the plant operates at Q50. The second question asks to explain how to integrate three or more energy sources in a mini-grid, identify challenges, and design a hybrid mini-grid system to meet a 500kW load demand and 900kVA peak demand using at least three energy sources.

    1) Consider a small hydropower scheme that delivers 30kW, which


    operates with the following pattern in the year.

    S/N Month Power Delivered
    (KW)
    1 January 30
    2 February 30
    3 March 28
    4 April 27
    5 May 27
    6 June 26
    7 July 26
    8 August 25
    9 September 25
    10 October 25
    11 November 30
    12 December 31

    a. Determine the plant factor of the scheme.
    b. What is the percentage availability of the scheme?
    c. If the plant operates at Q50, what is the percentage
    availability?
    2) Explain briefly how you will integrate three or more energy
    sources in a mini-grid?
    b. What are the likely challenges?
    c. Consider a mini-grid with the following specifications

    Load demand 500KW
    Peak demand 900KVA
    Design a hybrid system with at least three energy sources.
