A 10,000 KW run-of-river hydro-electric plant has an available head of 200 ft and has an overall efficiency of 90% that remains constant for all loads. For a given day during the low-water season the customers receiving primary power have the following loads: 8000KW for 2 hrs, 6000 KW for 2 hours, 4000 KW for 10 hrs, 2000 KW for 10 hrs. For a river flow remaining onstant at 525 ft/s, how much secondary power could this plant provide during the entire day?
