  2. Small hydro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_hydro

    An 1895 hydroelectric plant near Telluride, Colorado. Small hydro is the development of hydroelectric power on a scale suitable for local community and industry, or to contribute to distributed generation in a regional electricity grid. [1] Exact definitions vary, but a "small hydro" project is less than 50 megawatts (MW), and can be further ...

  3. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumped-storage...

    In Switzerland one study suggested that the total installed capacity of small pumped-storage hydropower plants in 2011 could be increased by 3 to 9 times by providing adequate policy instruments. [42] Using a pumped-storage system of cisterns and small generators, pico hydro may also be effective for "closed loop" home energy generation systems ...

  4. Pico hydro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico_hydro

    A pico hydro system made by the Sustainable Vision project from Baylor University [1]. Pico hydro is a term used for hydroelectric power generation of under 5 kW. These generators have proven to be useful in small, remote communities that require only a small amount of electricity – for example, to power one or two fluorescent light bulbs and a TV or radio in 50 or so homes. [2]

  5. List of pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pumped-storage...

    The following page lists all pumped-storage hydroelectric power stations that are larger than 1,000 MW in installed generating capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. Those power stations that are smaller than 1,000 MW , and those that are decommissioned or only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in regional ...

  6. Low-head hydro power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-head_hydro_power

    Low-head hydro power. Low-head hydro power refers to the development of hydroelectric power where the head is typically less than 20 metres, although precise definitions vary. [1] Head is the vertical height measured between the hydro intake water level and the water level at the point of discharge. Using only a low head drop in a river or ...

  7. Micro hydro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_hydro

    Micro hydro is a type of hydroelectric power that typically produces from 5 kW to 100 kW of electricity using the natural flow of water. Installations below 5 kW are called pico hydro. [ 1 ] These installations can provide power to an isolated home or small community, or are sometimes connected to electric power networks, particularly where net ...
