REQUIREMENT: (All calculations to be in plastic folder)

a. Make schematic diagram (Process flow) & make plant/equipment
drawing.
b. Review & recalculate the data except the elevation, size/capacity of
reservoir, dam. Review also the technical terms & its definition.
c. Recalculate the power available.
d. Recalculate the size of penstock, surge tank.
e. Make a plan layout of equipment & single line piping diagram of each
system.

f. Compute Capital Cost, Operating Cost, Financial Borrowing scheme,

Power Rate & Rate of Return.
g. Present the Project in short Bond Paper (Plastic Folder) & show all
computations.
