CONTENTS INTRODUCTION OBJECTIVE SITE SELECTION COMPONENTS WORKING ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES CONCLUSION REFRENCE
INTRODUCTION Hydropower is a renewable, non-polluting and environment friendly source of energy. Maximum benefits in minimum time. Oldest energy technique known to mankind for conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. Contributes around 22% of the world electricity supply generated. The power obtained from river or ocean water is called as hydropower
OBJECTIVE To reduce the greenhouse effect. To reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. To meet the challenge of increasing electricity demand. To reduce the price of electricity. To gain knowledge about Hydroelectricity and the history and future it can have.
SITE SELECTION Availability of water Water storage Water head Accessibility of site Distance from the load centre
COMPONENTS Dam Water reservoir Control gates or intake The penstock Water turbines Generators
WORKING How a Hydroelectric Power System Works? Flowing water is directed at a turbine. The flowing water causes the turbine to rotate, converting the water's kinetic energy into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy produced by the turbine is converted into electric energy using a turbine generator. Inside the generator, the shaft of the turbine spins a magnet inside coils of copper wire. It is a fact of nature that moving a magnet near a conductor causes an electric current.
Advantages Renewable energy Can be used for flood control and irrigation purpose No ash and flue gas problem and don't pollute the atmosphere Suitability for industrial applications Low power costs
Disadvantages Loss of land Relocation Methane emission Eco system damage Fish killing
conclusion • hydropower is sustainable and long lasting source of energy. It has many disadvantages but still it produces a great amount of electricity which is helping us to fulfil the energy demand. The dams can also be used for fishing, flood control and irrigation purpose. All these advantages show the importance of hydropower electricity which gives us a solution for the problems of this boom and gloom economy.
