HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER

HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER

Moneva, Kurt Lester e.What is Hydroelectric power?Hydroelectric power, or hydroelectricity, is generated by the force of falling water. Its one of the cleanest sources of energy, and its also the most reliable and costs the least.Parts of a Hydroelectric Plant

The amount of electricity a hydropower plant produces depends on two factors:How Far the Water Falls.

2. Amount of Water Falling

IMPOUNDMENT

The most common type of hydroelectric power plantUses a dam to store river water in a reservoirDIVERSION

Sometimes called run-of-riverIt may not require the use of a damPUMPED STORAGE

It stores energy by pumping water uphill to a reservoir at higher elevation from a second reservoir at a lower elevationBIGGEST DAM IN THE WORLD
