Hydroelectric Power Plant Basic Questions and Answers | MCQs on hydroelectric power plant 01

1).Which of the following is not a requirement for site selection of hydroelectric power plant?

a)    Availability of Water
b)   
Large catchment area
c)   
Rocky land
d)   
Sedimentation


Answer: d)
Sedimentation Mauy reduced the water storage capacity of reservoir and may also cause damage to the turbine blades. Remaining three availability of water,Large catchment area, Rocky land are primary requirement for site selections for hydroelectric power plant
2).Hydroelectric Power plant is_______________

a)   
Non-renewable source of energy
b)   
Conventional source of energy
c)   
Non-conventional source of energy
d)   
Continuous source of energy


Answer: B)
Hydroelectric power plants are conventional source of energy. they are not non-renewable because water is inexhaustible. it is not continuous source of energy because its output fluctuates with change in flow rate of water with season.
3).A hydroelectric power station is commonly found in.
a)   
desert areas.
b)   
hilly areas.
c)   
swamps.
d)   
grasslands.


Answer: C)
4).In hydroelectric power plants.
a)   
operating cost is low and initial cost is high.
b)   
operating cost is high and initial cost is low.
c)   
both operating cost as well initial cost are high.
d)   
both operating cost as well as initial cost are low.


Answer: A)
Hydroelectric plant required large are and construction cost is enormously high and takes a long time for erection, so initial cost is high and operating cost is low because of fuel cost (fuel of hydroelectric plant is water which is available of free of cost)

5).The advantage(s)of hydro plants is/are.
a)   
low operating cost.
b)   
they can be started and loaded very quickly.
c)   
they can be used as base load and peak load plants as well.
d)   
all the above.


Answer: D)

Answer: D)
The koyna hydroelectric project is the largest completed hydroelectric power plant in india with 1960MW Capacity
7).Gross head of an hydroelectric power station is.
a)   
the difference of water level between the level in the storage
and tail race.
b)   
the height of water level in the river where the tail race is
provided.
c)   
the height of water level in the river where the storage is
provided.
d)   
all of the above.


Answer: A)
8).with reference to hydropower station,the graphical representation
of the discharge as a function of time is known as.
a)   
Monograph.
b)
