Question:

How much MWh energy can be generated (per year) using 100 MW Diesel generator with normal condition?.?

For hydropower how much MWh can be generated with same capacity plant?. (Because plant never run for 24 hours of the day we need a factor to calculate above value)

Answer:

just multiply 100 MW by the number of hours in a year to get MW-hr per year 100 MW x 24h/day x 365.25 day/yr 876600 MW-hr / year If it's not running 24 hours a day, just substitute the correct number. .
They sure do run 24 hours a day. Maybe not 365 days a year - allow maybe 1 week down time for maintenance. If you have a particular generator in mind, look up the operating specs for it.
there are about 2000 ,working hours a year on 40 hour work week. I would guess about 200000
