2. Gorlov helical turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorlov_helical_turbine

   Some advantages of damless hydro are that it eliminates the potential for failure of a dam, which improves public safety. It also eliminates the initial cost of dam engineering, construction and maintenance, reduces the environmental and ecological complications, and potentially simplifies the regulatory issues put into law specifically to ...

3. Power engineering software - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_engineering_software

   Power engineering software is a software used to create models, analyze or calculate the design of Power stations, Overhead power lines, Transmission towers, Electrical grids, Grounding and Lightning [clarification needed] systems and others. It is a type of application software used for power engineering problems which are transformed into ...

4. Hydropower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropower

   Hydroelectric power plants vary in terms of the way they harvest energy. One type involves a dam and a reservoir . The water in the reservoir is available on demand to be used to generate electricity by passing through channels that connect the dam to the reservoir.

5. Hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectricity

   Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity generated from hydropower (water power). Hydropower supplies 15% of the world's electricity , almost 4,210 TWh in 2023, [ 1 ] which is more than all other renewable sources combined and also more than nuclear power . [ 2 ]

6. Screw turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_turbine

   A screw turbine at a small hydro power plant in Goryn, Poland. The Archimedean screw is an ancient invention, attributed to Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC.), and commonly used to raise water from a watercourse for irrigation purposes. In 1819 the French engineer Claude Louis Marie Henri Navier (1785–1836) suggested using the Archimedean ...

7. Run-of-the-river hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-of-the-river...

   The potential power at a site is a result of the head and flow of water. By damming a river, the head is available to generate power at the face of the dam. A dam may create a reservoir hundreds of kilometres long, but in run-of-the-river the head is usually delivered by a canal, pipe or tunnel constructed upstream of the power house.

8. Hydroelectric power in the United States - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectric_power_in_the...

   In 2021, hydroelectric power produced 31.5% of the total renewable electricity, and 6.3% of the total U.S. electricity. [2] According to the International Hydropower Association, the United States is the 3rd largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world in 2021 after Brazil and China. [3] Total installed capacity for 2020 was 102.8 GW.

9. Conduit hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conduit_hydroelectricity

   The energy generated from the turbines would have been offset by the power used in pumping, canceling out the power generation benefit. [4] However, there have been renewed interests to apply this method to recover energy when there is a need to reduce pressure in the water supply system that is normally done through pressure reducing valves .
