Hydropower energy

1. HYDROPOWER
Presented by Lumasay and Luage

2. Hydropower is a form of renewable
energy that uses the water stored in
dams, as well as flowing in rivers to
create electricity in hydropower plants.
There are three main types of hydropower
plants: impoundment facilities, pumped
storage facilities. run-of-river facilities
and hydroelectric power plant has three
main components: dam. penstock and
powerhouse. That works fogether for
harnessing the power of the water to
create energy. And hydropower is fueled
by water, so it's a clean fuel source,
which means it won't pollute the airlike
power plants that burn fossil fuels, such
as coal or natural gas

3. The kinetic energy generated by
moving water has been used by
humankind for centuries, to drive
water mills that produce mechanical
energy. Modern hydropower,
sometimes referred to as "white
coal," is harnessed in plants where
electricity is generated. Around 40
countries use hydropower to
produce more than a fifth of their
electricity1. Hydropowe accounts
for 16% of electricity worldwide,
behind coal and gas, but ahead of
nuclear.

4. The three main types of hydropower plants:
1. Impoundment facilities are the most common
technology which uses a dam to create a large
reservoir of water. Electricity is made when
water passes through turbines in the dam.
2. Pumped storage facilities are similar but have
a second reservoir below the dam. Water can
be pumped from the lower reservoir to the
upper reservoir, storing energy for use at a
later time.
3. Run-of River facilities (also knows as
DIVERSION PLANTS) rely more on natural water
flow rates, diverting just a portion of river
water through turbines, sometimes without the
use of a dam or reservoirs. Since run-of-river
hydro is subject to natural water variability, it
is more intermittent than dammed hydro.

5. The three main components of hydroelectric
power plant:
A dam that creates a large waterfall and stores
enough water to always supply the plant. It also
helps to regulate flooding aside from producing
and storing energy.
A penstock that channels water from its natural
environment (river or lake) to supply the dam
reservoir. It may be an open channel, a tunnel
or pipeline.
A powerhouse that houses the turbines driven
by the waterfall and the generator driven by the
turbines.

6. CONVERTING MOVING WATER
TO ELECTRICITY
Hydropower plants generate electricity by
using moving water to spin turbines, which
rotate generators to produce electricity. Water
from a dam flows down a penstock, spinning
the turbine, and creating electricity through
magnet rotation. The amount of electricity
generated depends on water volume and speed,
with roughly 1 gallon/second falling 100 feet
generating 1 kilowatt. Different turbines are
used based on the hydraulic head at the plant.

ADVANTAGES OF

PLANT

8. Hydropower is fueled by
water, so it's a clean
fuel source, meaning it
won't pollute the airlike
power plants that burn
fossil fuels, such as
coal or natural gas.
Impoundment hydropower
creates reservoirs that offer a
variety of recreational
opportunities, notably fishing,
swimming, and boating. Most
waterpower installations are
required to provide some
public access to the reservoir
to allow the public to take
advantage of these
opportunities
Some hydropower facilities
can quickly go from zero
power to maximum output.
Because hydropower plants
can generate power to the
grid immediately, they
provide essential back-up
power during major electricity
outages or disruptions
The energy generated
through hydropower relies
on the water cycle, which
is driven by the sun,
making it a renewable
power source, making it a
more reliable and
affordable source than
fossil fuels that are
rapidly being depleted
