what is the difference between forebay and surgetank in
case of hydro electric power plant

Answer Posted / abhishek dhananjay shinde

Forebay is put immediately after reservoir which is followed by gate,penstock,& surge tank respectively.Though basic function i.e regulation of pressure & velocity of water is the same, forebay is directly associated with reservoir & its water level; whereas surge tank is associated with gate & turbine load directly.Forebay prevents overflowing or drying of reservoir temporarily whereas surge tank continuously regulate pressure & velocity of water just before the entry in turbine thus preventing water hammerings.
