A hydropower resource can be evaluated by its available power. Power is a function of the hydraulic head and volumetric flow rate. The head is the energy per unit weight (or unit mass) of water. [5] The static head is proportional to the difference in height through which the water falls. Dynamic head is related to the velocity of moving water.

The Shweli I Dam is a gravity dam on the Shweli River about 23 kilometres (14 mi) southwest of Namhkam in Shan State, Burma.The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 600 megawatts (800,000 hp) power station.
A new date of November 2019 was set for initial energy production. [8] The project was put on hold prior to completion of its testing and commissioning phase in 2020, when skilled foreign workers became unavailable in Nepal due to the global COVID-19 epidemic. [25] On 5 July 2021, the project was inaugurated by prime minister KP Sharma Oli. [2]
All 7 dams are the largest power-generating bodies respectively, before the Jebel Ali Power Plant at 8,695 MW, the largest non-renewable energy-generating facility in the world. The currently planned Grand Inga Dam would be nearly twice the size of the Three Gorges Dam at 39,000 MW , surpassing all power-generating facilities once it passes the ...
Khandong Stage-I and II powerhouse is installed with 4x50 MW Francis type turbines, generating 200 MW power at peak. It is connected to Umrong reservoir via a 4.6 metres (15 ft) diameter, 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) long concrete-lined head race tunnel. The first unit of stage-I was commissioned on 4 July 1988. [2]
The power station harnesses a cascade of waterfalls that drop 19 metres (62 ft) over 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi). The water is directed over three groups of Francis type turbines, each rated at 90 MW. A 5 MW generator is also inserted in the instream flow, for an extra boost to the output.
The Jinping-II Dam (simplified Chinese: 锦屏二级水电站; traditional Chinese: 錦屏二級水電站; pinyin: Jǐnpíng Èrjí Shuǐdiàn Zhàn), also known as the Jinping-II Hydropower Station, is a gravity dam on the Jinping Bend of the Yalong River (Yalong Jiang) in Sichuan, China. Construction on the project began in 2007 and it was ...
