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.

7. Renewable Energy Main Hydropower uses the energy of flowing water to turn a turbine which in turn rotatesa generator thus producing electricity. More about hydropower energy. http://www.ece.umr.edu/links/power/reenergy.htm

Renewable energy - such as wind and solar energy - is energy that can never be used up. Unlike traditional energy fuel sources such as coal, oil and natural gas, which are finite, renewable sources are either infinite (the sun and wind) or constantly renewing, like municipal solid waste. Sources of Renewable Energy Biomass Geothermal Hydropower Photovoltaics ... Alternative Fuel Vehicles Biomass If you've ever enjoyed the warmth of a campfire, you've used biomass energy. Biomass uses the energy in organic matter such as plants. Other sources of biomass energy include agricultural and wood waste, municipal waste, and landfill gas. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratories, biomass supplies 3 percent of total U.S. energy needs, almost 10,000 MW of electric generating capacity (1993 figures). More about Biomass Energy Geothermal Geothermal energy is used both for power generation and for heating. In 1990, the U.S. had 62 geothermal electric plants generating 2,350 MW of electricity. Geothermal power generation requires high-temperature resources that are found mostly in the western part of the county. Low-temperature (meaning less than 130°C) sources are more widespread and can be used in direct-use applications such as heat pumps, district heating, space heating and cooling, aquaculture, industrial processes and domestic hot water. Heat pumps are the fastest growing direct use application of geothermal power. More about Geothermal Energy Hydropower One-half of all the renewable energy used in the United States today comes from hydropower. Hydropower uses the energy of flowing water to turn a turbine which in turn rotates a generator thus producing electricity. Hydropower spurred industrial development in the 19th century. In the 1930s, 30 percent of America's generating capacity came from hydro. Currently, hydro accounts for 12 percent of the country's generating capacity.

HOME FLASH VERSION FIND IT! SITE MAP ... FAQs Let's Get Electrified Making Electricity Generating Electricity Hydropower Energy Hydropower Energy Generation The turbines used to generate hydroelectricity are essentially modern water wheels, but instead of rivers they are now built alongside dams - and the water drops vertically through the "wheels" using gravity to generate the electricity. The quantity of electricity generated is determined by the volume of water flow and the amount of head (the height from turbines in the power plant to the water surface) created by the dam. The greater the flow and head, the more electricity produced. Did U Know? Hydropower isn't just about producing power for electricity. Did you know that there are other benefits to hydropower? Dams provide multiple benefits when they are built. Among those are flood control, water supplies to cities, and assistance in river navigation. History When was Hydropower first harnessed? The Romans were the first to use waterwheels. Its usage gradually spread across Europe in the form of watermills. By 1800, tens of thousands of such mills had been built in Europe and New England. In the 19th century, the water turbine slowly replaced the waterwheel due to its higher efficiency. The first hydroelectric power plant was built in 1882 and provided 12.5 kilowatts of electricity that lit two paper mills and a home. Current percentage of Hydropower usage in the world Today, hydropower produces 3.95 per cent of the world's electricity and supplies more than one billion people with power.

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.

Managing Thermal and Hydropower Energy Resources GTMax model helps utilities maximize resources, minimize costs Argonne's GTMax software can help utility operators optimize resource utilization at thermal and hydropower facilities. Around the world, utility operators who rely on thermal and hydropower resources must consider many complex and changing physical, environmental, economic, and institutional constraints when determining how to best utilize their supply systems to serve system loads and minimize costs. The operators need to know on an hourly basis how much water to release from hydro plants and which thermal units to dispatch. Throughout this process, they also need to take into account the energy they can buy and sell through long-term contracts and on the spot market. Argonne developed a program called GTMax to help operators consolidate this vast amount of data and address these important concerns. This PC-based optimization tool simulates the hourly operations of a set of integrated hydro and thermal power plants for weekly periods. Its goal is to maximize the value of the utility system's resources and minimize its costs. GTMax . . . .

Home Site Map A-Z Index Ask an Energy Expert Search Legal and Institutional Issues Legal and institutional issues include federal licensing as well as state and local permits, laws for historic and cultural preservation, and recreational requirements. Licensing and Permits Federal licensing of hydropower facilities is governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). FERC's actions are governed in part by federal laws such as the Federal Power Act . State and local permits are usually required, and facilities often require an Environmental Impact Statement. Cultural and Historic Preservation New hydropower facilities may have an impact on local cultures and on historic items that local residents may wish to preserve. Some older hydropower facilities may have historic value, so renovations of these facilities must also be sensitive to such preservation concerns. Recreational Requirements Impoundment hydropower creates reservoirs that offer a variety of recreational opportunities, notably fishing, swimming, and boating. Most hydropower installations are required to provide some public access to the reservoir to allow the public to take advantage of these opportunities. Webmaster EERE Home U.S. Department of Energy
