Hydropower Hydropower facilities capture the kinetic energy of falling water to generate electricity. Hydropower is currently the largest source of renewable power, generating approximately 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. Low-impact hydropower certification is of growing interest. In order to be qualified as a Green-e resource in Pennsylvania, a hydropower facility must already be in operation and have the ability to generate no more than 30 MW of electricity. Green-e organizations are currently working to develop a more detailed set of requirements to identify only "Low Impact" hydroelectric facilities as qualified Green-e resources. Hydropower Links Low Impact Hydropower Institute (LIHI) . LIHI is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the certification of environmentally responsible, "low impact" hydropower. The Low Impact Hydropower Institute was established to develop and administer a voluntary program to certify hydropower facilities with environmental impacts that are low compared to other hydropower facilities, based on objective environmental criteria. The goal of the Low Impact Hydropower Certification Program is to reduce the environmental impacts of hydropower generation, by creating an accepted standard for consumers to use in evaluating hydropower.

What is Climate Change? What is energy? What is The Greenhouse Effect? How do we know about the greenhouse effect? ... Hydropower Hydropower Lorne Gill/SNH 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

Editor's note: The following edited interview with Mike Sale and Chuck Coutant, both of ORNL's Environmental Sciences Division , explores the issues involved in developing hydropower resources in the United States. ORNL conducts assessments and other studies associated with licensing hydropower projects for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. It also performs research for the Department of Energy and others on methods to avoid or minimize the environmental impacts of hydropower projects and provides advice to other state and federal agencies and private industry. Sale is leader of the Hydrosystems Group in the division's Ecosystems Studies Section and program manager for FERC projects for the Energy Division . Coutant is a senior ecologist in the Environmental Sciences Division. hy is hydropower important to the United States? Mike Sale: The energy of flowing water is the most readily available, renewable, and clean domestic source of electricity that we have right now. It is available in most parts of the country that have high rainfall and mountainous areas. In terms of total production, hydropower is America's leading renewable energy resource; it is more reliable and efficient and less expensive than geothermal, biomass, wind, and solar energy. Perhaps most important, it is a clean source of powerit produces no carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxides, or any other air emissions. In addition, it produces no solid or liquid wastes.

A few companies will custom design and build a hydropower system, assuming you have a high enough head. But their hydropower systems are not really designed for the single home site. The price is very high! The Alternate Energy Sourcebook published by the Real Goods Trading Corporation offers two hydroelectric systems. Both of these systems are designed to operate on a minimum head of 20 feet and 100 gallons of water flow per minute. The "standard" output is 400 watts @ 12 Volts Direct Current or 700 watts @ 24 Volts Direct Current. In their book they site the following as a "typical" installation.

113. TVA Kids: Hydroelectric Power (Hydro comes from the Greek word for water.) It’s one of the cleanest sourcesof energy, and it’s also the most reliable and costs the least. http://www.tvakids.com/electricity/hydro.htm

How TVA Makes Electricity Fossil Power Nuclear Power Hydropower ... The History of Electricity Hydroelectric Power Hydroelectric power, or hydroelectricity, is generated by the force of falling water. ( Hydro hydroelectric power plants are able provide electricity at a reasonable cost to families, schools, farms, factories, and businesses. How does hydroelectric power work? Water is needed to run a hydroelectric power-generating unit . The water is held behind a dam, forming an artificial lake, or reservoir. The force of the water being released from the reservoir through the dam spins the blades of a giant turbine. The turbine is connected to the generator that makes electricity as it spins. After passing through the turbine, the water flows back into the river on the other side of the dam. TVA uses water to make electricity at 29 hydroelectric dams and one pumped-storage power plant (at Raccoon Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee). Together these plants produced about 13.5 million megawatt hours of electricity in 2002, or about 9 percent of the total amount of electricity.

Webmaster HYDROPOWER HYDROPOWER INTRODUCTION This site deals with hydropower and all of the ways that hydropower affects our energy consumption by giving us a cheaper alternative to conventional approaches to energy In fact, hydropower is the largest renewable energy source in the United States, generating about ten percent of our nation's electricity. This amounts to million barrels of oil. This shows that hydropower has made its contribution to supplying energy to our nation. There are many examples of working hydroelectric plants out there ADVANTAGES There are many advantages to this type of energy. One would be storage. This would primarily include resevoirs and lakes behind dams . Also, hydropower allows for quick availiability. Turbine-generators are not turned off, requiring only 45 seconds. Even if the generators are not on, only 90 seconds are r equired. And a major advantage comes from the fact that the fuel is free. Also, hydropower produces no air emissions at all and no liquid or solid wastes. DISADVANTAGES Along with these advantages come many disadvantages. many of these disadvantages come from the
