HYDROHELP 1 A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR SELECTION AND COSTING
HYDROELECTRIC GENERATING EQUIPMENT
 PRINT FIRST 5 PAGES ONLY

READ ALL YELLOW COMMENT

CELLS FIRST
Program crashes if flood tailwater below normal tailwater.

After unit selection, proceed to

HydroHelp 2 Francis units, or
HydroHelp 3 Impulse units, or
HydroHelp 4 Kaplan units for
detailed design and cost analysis of
prospective hydro site.

For use in Cell D6

Optional optimum head loss

calculation module
Gross head on turbine, m. 437.00
Total conduit length intake to powerhouse, m. 900
Plant capacity factor (0.4 to 0.8) 0.5

Calculated probable optimum conduit

head loss intake to powerhouse, %. --- > 12.5
 Note - in HydroHelp 2, 3 and 4, the cost of
the generating equipment may differ slightly
from the cost estimated by this program.
This is due to the different turbine
submergence, usage and installation cost
factors used in HydroHelp 2, 3 or 4, where
these factors are user-defined, and not
determined by the program.

Red quantity in cell indicates INCORRECT data entry.

See powerhouse rock levels and overburden
excavations. Negative numbers could result in wrong
turbine selection.

Note - If a different turbine is selected

when the powerhouse cost is
included, and this recommendation is
accepted, de-select all other turbines
in Cells E160 to E178, to ensure the
correct generating data is shown in
Cells D63 to D71.

Due to normal variations in

flow, the program will reject
propeller units where there are
less than 3 required, and/or
where the drawdown exceeds
10% of the gross head.
