    This document presents an analysis of different tunnel diameters for a hydropower plant headrace tunnel to optimize costs. It provides design parameters such as discharge, length, efficiency. It then shows calculations for three tunnel cross section shapes (horizontal semicircle, D-shape, circular) comparing their cross sectional area and velocity at different diameters ranging from 4.5 to 8 meters. The results table shows the associated capital costs including excavation, lining and head losses for each diameter. It highlights that the minimum total cost is achieved at a diameter of 5.5 meters, calculating the capital cost and levelized cost of energy for this optimal diameter.
