Firm Power is the power that is always available from the stream, even at times of lowest flow and lowest head. To calculate firm power you use the lowest expected flow in the stream (Qmin) and the gross head (Hg). In the case of a low head plant (less than about 10 m) in which the forebay level varies, the gross head should be measured to the minimum forebay level.
Using these new symbols for Q and H, the power equation (1-2)
becomes: FIRM POWER (Pfirm) = Qmin x Hg x 5.9 kW (1-3)
