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

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

    An example would be the 1995 1,436 MW La Grande-1 generating station. Previous upstream dams and reservoirs were part of the 1980s James Bay Project. There are also small and somewhat-mobile forms of a run-of-the-river power plants. One example is the so-called electricity buoy, a small floating hydroelectric power plant. Like most buoys, it is ...

  3. Hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroelectricity

    For example, a low-head hydro power plant with hydrostatic head of few meters to few tens of meters can be classified either as an SHP or an LHP. [30] The other distinction between SHP and LHP is the degree of the water flow regulation: a typical SHP primarily uses the natural water discharge with very little regulation in comparison to an LHP.

  4. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity - Wikipedia

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

    Pumped storage plants, like other hydroelectric plants, can respond to load changes within seconds. The most important use for pumped storage has traditionally been to balance baseload powerplants, but they may also be used to abate the fluctuating output of intermittent energy sources. Pumped storage provides a load at times of high ...

  5. Helms Pumped Storage Plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helms_Pumped_Storage_Plant

    The underground power station is near Wishon Reservoir and houses three 404 MW Francis pump turbine-generators. [3] [4] The Helms Pumped Storage project was designed to be used with the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, also owned by PG&E, in the 1970s, when Diablo Canyon was being designed and permitted. It is connected to that power plant by ...

  6. List of run-of-the-river hydroelectric power stations - Wikipedia

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

    The following page lists hydroelectric power stations that generate power using the run-of-the-river method. This list includes most power stations that are larger than 100 MW in maximum net capacity, which are currently operational or under construction.

  7. Electron Hydroelectric Project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_Hydroelectric_Project

    The Electron Hydroelectric Project, originally known as the Puyallup Project, is a hydroelectric power plant operated by Electron Hydro LLC on the Puyallup River in Pierce County, Washington. It generates 26.2 megawatts (35,100 hp) of electricity and is operated and maintained by approximately 20 full-time employees.

  8. Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mambilla_Hydroelectric...

    The Mambilla Hydropower Plant Project has been planned for over 40 years. It is expected to connect to four dams across the Donga River. The first preliminary feasibility study for the Mambilla Hydropower Plant was reportedly carried out by Moto Columbus in 1972, but attempts to construct the power station up to now have been unsuccessful. [3]

  9. Hydropower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropower

    This is achieved by converting the gravitational potential or kinetic energy of a water source to produce power. [1] Hydropower is a method of sustainable energy production. Hydropower is now used principally for hydroelectric power generation, and is also applied as one half of an energy storage system known as pumped-storage hydroelectricity.
