Discussion Groups Hydropower Topics advanced turbine technologies that will not only help maximize the use of hydropower but also minimize adverse environmental effects. More basic information about hydropower is also available Types of Hydropower Impoundment An impoundment facility, typically a large hydropower system, uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir. The water may be released either to meet changing electricity needs or to maintain a constant reservoir level. Diversion A diversion, sometimes called run-of-river , facility channels a portion of a river through a canal or penstock. It may not require the use of a dam. Pumped Storage When the demand for electricity is low, a pumped storage facility stores energy by pumping water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir. During periods of high electrical demand, the water is released back to the lower reservoir to generate electricity. Sizes of Hydropower Plants Facilities range in size from large power plants that supply many consumers with electricity to small and micro plants that individuals operate for their own energy needs or to sell power to utilities.

Hydropower is currently the largest source of renewable power, generating nearly 10% of the electricity used in the United States. The most common type of hydropower plant uses a dam on a river to store water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which, in turn, activates a generator to produce electricity. But hydropower doesn't necessarily require a large dam. Some hydropower plants just use a small canal to channel the river water through a turbine. pumped storage plant Webmaster EERE Home U.S. Department of Energy Content Last Updated: 04/27/2004

5. HydroPower Energy Hydropower converts the energy in flowing water into electricity. Hydropower is a clean, domestic and renewable source of energy. http://www.ece.umr.edu/links/power/hydropow.htm

Hydroelectric Power Turning water's mechanical energy into electricity Since the time of ancient Egypt, people have used the energy in flowing water to operate machinery and grind grain and corn. However, hydropower had a greater influence on people's lives during the 20th century than at any other time in history. Hydropower played a major role in making the wonders of electricity a part of everyday life and helped spur industrial development. Hydropower continues to produce 24 percent of the world's electricity and supply more than 1 billion people with power. Evolution of Hydropower The first hydroelectric power plant was built in 1882 in Appleton, Wisconsin to provide 12.5 kilowatts to light two paper mills and a home. Today's hydropower plants generally range in size from several hundred kilowatts to several hundred megawatts, but a few mammoth plants have capacities up to 10,000 megawatts and supply electricity to millions of people. Worldwide, hydropower plants have a combined capacity of 675,000 megawatts and annually produce over 2.3 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity, the energy equivalent of 3.6 billion barrels of oil.

Background information: Field: Energy Financing: European Commission Duration of Services: Project Objective: Completion of the Plant The Hydropower Plant Edisi shall be constructed in accordance of the available flows of Didi Liakhvi River. The objective of this project is to revise the previous construction works and quality of the equipment procured before previous stage, provide a design for completion of the plant along with full cost estimation, prepare the necessary documentation for tender bidding and provide supervision and monitoring services during the implementation of the project. Project Description: A. Background de facto of South Ossetia declared sovereignty in August 1990 and this resulted in the first conflict in Georgia. The conflict resolution process continues through the mechanism known as the Joint Control Commission (JCC) of which United Nations Organization is presented by UNHCR (observer status) as member. The JCC is sponsored by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The JCC, being the non-political framework of the Georgian-Ossetian conflict settlement mechanism, deals with military and security issues, economic rehabilitation, refugees and IDPs. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has been involved in South Ossetia since 1992. In addition to their monitoring role in peace-keeping and other fields of activities OSCE has contributed to the process of reconciliation through economic rehabilitation. Namely, OSCE has assessed the economic potential and possibilities of South Ossetia and based on EU funding (2mln USD) UNDP launched its project for infrastructure rehabilitation assistance in 1996.

The Gansu Clean Energy Development Project - ADB's first loan project in the province - will finance the construction of a 98-megawatt run-of-the-river Xiaogushan Hydropower Plant (XHP), together with substation and transmission lines, to serve Zhangye City. It will also upgrade the power supply to three poor rural townships - Xishui, Huazhai, and Anyang. A majority of the people living in these townships are considered to be poor and they will receive more reliable electricity directly from XHP. Present installed capacity is too small to meet the current peak load demand in Zhangye, which is located about 600 km northwest of the provincial capital of Lanzhou. The result is frequent power interruptions and shortages for many of the 1.25 million population. With energy demand projected to rise and no new generating plants to become operational until 2006, the power shortfall is expected to worsen.

ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE HYDROPOWER POTENTIAL, WORLDWIDE Less than a third already installed. Hydropower is not only a highly efficient and reliable electricity generating option, but also produces minimal GHG emission and possesses a significant development potential CHALLENGES FOR HYDROPOWER IN THE COMING DECADES Greater risk for private investors, in deregulated markets Greater uncertainty, for some projects To the extent that hydroelectricity affects water resources and its many public uses, and requires substantial lead time to develop, the future of hydropower depends on public will.

Front Page National Domestic Economy Science ... Archive Clean Energy High Potential for Wind, Geothermal Power On average, the cost for hydropower operations and maintenance is only one-third the cost of a nuclear or a fossil fuel powered facility. Hydro energy is electricity powered through water. It is created by harnessing water flowing down a river through spin turbines inside a generator. Large rivers with fast flowing water work the best. Canada is the largest producer of hydropower in the world. The United States is second. Hydropower is clean. It doesn't produce any greenhouse gases or other kinds of air pollution. It also doesn't generate any waste products that might need special handling or disposal. Because it is carbon-free energy, hydropower doesn't burn fossil fuels, which release the same amount of carbon dioxide as the annual exhaust of 62.2 million cars (half the cars on US roads.) Hydropower doesn't pollute the air but large hydroelectric generating stations can damage the environment. The natural flow of water to the sea can sometimes be changed, which harms plant and animal communities along the way. Like solar and wind energy, electricity from water is renewable. Water from rivers is a natural resource so it doesn't come with some of the problems other energy sources have, such as cost and insufficient amounts. Hydropower converts kinetic energy from falling water into electricity and never uses up more water than nature produces.
