Categories Electricity Generation Exploration and Production Electricity Transmission Hydropower ... Privacy and Security Hydroelectric power is produced by the flow of water through turbines. This power is normally produced with the help of dams, utilizing water from reservoirs and rivers. Most of the optimum sites are already being utilized. Based on the amount of water and land needed for development, potential growth is limited. Today, several of the older hydroelectric power facilities are being re-licensed via FERC. Hydroelectric power comprises approximately seven (7) percent of the country's electric supply.

HYDROPOWER Although hydropower currently provides about one fifth of the world’s electricity supply, development of the world’s remaining technical potential could, by no means, cover the growth in future demand. However, carefully planned hydropower development can, and does, make a great contribution to improving electrical system reliability and stability throughout the world. Also, future development will play an important role in the improvement of living standards in the developing world, where the greatest hydropower potential still exists. This development, together with the existing installed hydropower capacity (some 700 GW), will make a substantial contribution to the avoidance of greenhouse gas emissions and the related climate change issues. Hydroelectricity, at present the most important of the clean, economically feasible, renewable energy options, can be a major benefit of a water resources development project; however, it is seldom the only benefit. Hydropower stations integrated within multipurpose schemes generally subsidise other vital functions of a project, such as irrigation, water supply, improved navigation, flood mitigation, recreational facilities, and so on. It is clear, therefore, that hydropower has an important role to play in the future, both in terms of energy supply and water resources development. As with all options, there is a need to develop the resources according to the highest social, environmental, economic and technical standards.

What is Climate Change? What is energy? What is The Greenhouse Effect? How do we know about the greenhouse effect? ... Hydropower Hydropower The water in rivers and streams can be captured and turned into hydropower, also called hydroelectric power. The most common form of hydropower uses dams on rivers to create large reservoirs of water. Water released from the reservoirs flows through turbines, causing them to spin. The turbines are connected to generators that produce electricity. Hydropower is inexpensive, and like many other renewable energy sources, it does not produce greenhouse gas emissions. Some of the oldest hydropower stations in the world were built in the Highlands of Scotland, and are still operating today. In fact, hydropower accounts for about 10% of all electricity used across Scotland. However, the drawback to hydropower is that damming rivers can change the ecology of the region. For example, the water below the dam is often colder than would normally flow down the river, so fish sometimes die. The water level of the river below the dam can be higher or lower than its natural state, which affects the plants that grow along the riverbanks and sometimes dams silt up. credits contact us

Compared with other energy sources, hydropower produces very small amounts of solid and liquid wastes and atmospheric emissions. Hydropower helps reduce greenhouse gases by offsetting electricity generation that uses carbon-based fuels. Despite its advantages, hydroelectric power generation has declined in recent years due to environmental requirements that include protection of fish passing dams, improvement of water quality, and provision of additional river flows for downstream aquatic habitat.

Hydropower Putting gravity to work Hydropower The source of Energy The formula Connecticut as example Niagara Falls produces about 2000 MW of electricity. Why don't we use more hydropower in Connecticut, for example? Water behind a dam has energy by virtue of being at high elevation. One kilogram has 9.8 joules of energy for every meter of elevation it has. A hydroelectric power plant uses that energy to turn a turbine, thereby to generate electricity. The power available depends upon how high the dam is, and how much water flows. The power available from a hydroelectric plant operating at about 85% efficiency can be calculated from P (watts) = 8300 dam height (meters) flow rate (cubic meters per second) The average year in Connecticut brings us about 1.1 meters of precipitation. The land area of Connecticut is 5000 square miles, which is square meters. The total volume of water falling on Connecticut in one year is about million cubic meters. This amounts to 450 cubic meters per second. If we could use all of the water falling on the state, and we had a 200-foot dam (61 meters) to hold the water, we could get about 230 MW out of it, which is less than 10% of the Connecticut demand for electrical power. The Mayors of New Haven, Bridgeport, and most other major Connecticut cities might object to having their cities under water. So might environmentalists. The Solar Fraud discusses hydropower.

76. Hydroelectric Power By the 1940s, the best sites for large dams had been developed. But like mostother renewable sources of energy, hydropower could not compete with http://www.altenergy.org/2/renewables/hydroelectric/hydroelectric.html

Alternative Energy Institute, Inc. "On average, we have constructed one dam every day since the signing of the Declaration of Independence." –Bruce Babbitt, Secretary of the Interior Moving water is a powerful entity responsible for lighting entire cities, even countries. Thousands of years ago the Greeks used water wheels, which picked up water in buckets around a wheel. The water's weight caused the wheel to turn, converting kinetic energy into mechanical energy for grinding grain and pumping water. ( ) In the 1800s the water wheel was often used to power machines such as timber-cutting saws in European and American factories. More importantly, people realized that the force of water falling from a height would turn a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. Niagara Falls, a natural waterfall, powered the first hydroelectric plant in 1879. Man-made waterfalls—dams—were constructed throughout the 1900s in order to maximize this source of energy. Aside from a plant for electricity production, a hydropower facility consists of a water reservoir enclosed by a dam whose gates can open or close depending on how much water is needed to produce a particular amount of electricity. Once electricity is produced it is transported along huge transmission lines to an electric utility company.

Texas possesses these resources in varying degrees, ranging from poor in the case of ocean resources to excellent for salt water. Each one is outlined below. FIGURE 10. Hydro Potential of Texas River Systems Hydroelectric Power (Hydropower) Hydropower makes use of the kinetic energy water gains when it drops in elevation. Typically, water dammed in a lake or reservoir is released through turbines and generators to produce electricity. Hydropower has been a staple of electricity generation since the beginnings of the electric age. Historically, U.S. hydroelectric generation expanded until about 1975, but its share of the national electrical energy mix steadily declined from a peak of about 40% in the 1930's to approximately 10% today.

Action Alert: Hydropower Title in the Energy Bill The Energy Policy Act of 2002 is currently in the final stages of negotiation with the final conference discussions occuring this week. This is where differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill are resolved before it goes to the President. A controversial section on regulation of hydropower dams remains to be resolved. The Senate version of the bill favors the hydropower industry by sidestepping environmental protections and saddling natural resource agencies with redundant procedural hurdles, while the House version is a compromise hammered out by conservation organizations and representatives of the hydropower industry. Both add additional procedures to an already complex regulatory process, but the House version does so without harming the environment or limiting opportunities for input by recreational river users. Non-federal hydropower dams must receive 30- to 50-year licenses from FERC for the privilege of operating on the public’s waters. Dams that are now subject to relicensing were licensed before the enactment of modern environmental laws and the explosive growth of river recreation. Laws now requre that FERC considers environmental impacts and loss of recreational opportunities when relicensing hydropower projects. It is important to ensure that any change to the relicensing process applies current environmental standards to these dams, recognizes that our rivers are a public resource, and ensures equal participation by all interested stakeholders in achieving those goals (including whitewater paddlers!).
