Example - Hydro-power. The theoretically power available from a flow of 1 m 3 /s water with a fall of 100 m can be calculated as. P = (1000 kg/m 3) (1 m 3 /s) (9.81 m/s 2) (100 m) = 981 000 W = 981 kW Efficiency. Due to energy loss the practically available power will be less than the theoretically power.
