Question

On which of the following factors does the choice of site for hydro-electric power plant NOT depend?

• A. Availability of water
• B. Storage of water
• C. Load centre
• D. Head of water

Hint:

When selecting a site for a hydro-electric plant, consider water availability, head, and storage, but not necessarily the proximity to the load centre.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The choice of site for a hydro-electric power plant primarily depends on factors like the availability and storage of water, as well as the head of water (height difference). The load centre, however, does not directly affect the location of the plant itself, though it is important for power distribution.
