Hi Willy L. Mwamba,
I will attempt to ansewr of your quеstions:
- Potential power is 1350 kW
- The best turbines for your sites is Kaplan or
Propeler turbine with siphon intake (you can use 3
propeler tubrbines each of 400 kW )witn induction
generators connected to grid
- The penstocks must be a steel tube with diameter
1.2 meters.
- The head lost in penstock is neglected
- Electrical power will be about 1 200 kW
