Page 7 of 39 Chapter 1 Overview of Hydroelectric Power Generation Hydropower is the renewable energy source that produces the most electricity in the United States. 3. Kinetic Kinetic energy turbines, also called free-flow turbines, generate electricity from the kinetic energy present in flowing water rather than the potential energy from the head. To calculate the available power from an impoundment dam we need to know the head, amount of water available, and the efficiency of both the turbine and the generator. Impoundment Most hydroelectric power comes from the potential energy of dammed water driving a water turbine and generator. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity. Pumped-Storage Hydroelectric Power Plants Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Power Plants (PSH) produce electricity to supply high peak demands by moving water between reservoirs at different elevations. A new concept is to use wind turbines or solar power to drive water pumps directly, in effect an 'Energy Storing Wind or Solar Dam'.

continued on next page THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE Solar Energy Water Vapor Ocean Evaporation Runoff Condensation and Precipitation Hydrostatic Head Sea Level Unit I Source of Hydropower UNIT GOAL To show the relationship between the solar powered water cycle and its effect on recharging of the watershed for hydropower. Most new hydro-electric development was focused on huge “mega-projects.” The majority of these power plants involved large dams which flooded vast areas of land to provide water storage and therefore a constant supply of electricity. HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANTS Hydroelectric power plants capture the energy released by water falling through a vertical distance and transform this energy into useful electricity. In general, falling water is channeled through a turbine Hydroelectric Power 68 © 2000 PPL Corp. HYDROPOWER which converts the water’s energy into mechanical power. A large volume of water must pass through a low head hydro plant’s turbines in order to produce a useful amount of power. Hydropower: Using the energy of moving water to do work.

Micro-hydro systems generally consist of the following components: • A trash rack, weir, and forebay to pre-vent debris from entering the pipeline and turbine • A pipeline (also called a penstock) to pipe water to the turbine • A powerhouse that contains the turbine and electronics • A water turbine that converts the kinetic energy of the fl owing water into mechanical energy that can be used directly or to drive a generator or other piece of equipment—this is the main component of a micro-hydro system • A tailrace to release the water back into the source it came from • Transmission lines to deliver electrical power where it is needed Th is publication is intended to include as much information as necessary to get you started in the process and to assist you generally at each step along the way of a micro-hydro project.
