total output 4  55 220 MW.

The net output of the generators is 0.9 220 198 MW. The generator
speed,N 120 f/p375 rev min^1 (acceptable synchronous speed). There-
fore the specific speed, NsNP1/2/H5/476. A Francis-type turbine is suit-
able (efficiency, specific speed, and head match this type). The turbine
setting

0.043(76/100)^2 0.0248,

and therefore

The approximate runner diameter

D4.43(Q/N)1/31.72 m.

Therefore

Yt3.160.1873.347 m or 203.35 m AOD.

The surge chamber calculations are as follows:

area of surge chamber, As28.27 m^2 ;

area of tunnel, At50.26 m^2 ;

length of tunnel, Lt4000 m.

Therefore

r(gAt/LtAs)1/20.066.
