A hydroelectric power plant is being designed. The gross head from the reservoir to the tailrace is 1065 ft, and the volume flow rate of water through each turbine is 203,000 gpm at 70°F. There are 12 identical parallel turbines, each with an efficiency of 95.2 percent, and all other mechanical energy losses (through the penstock, etc.) are estimated to reduce the output by 3.5 percent. The generator itself has an efficiency of 94.5 percent. Estimate the electric power production from the plant in MW
