Largest Hydro-power Generation by country
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2024
- Hydropower, or hydroelectric power, is a renewable energy source that generates electricity by using the kinetic energy of flowing water:
1. Store water
Water is collected or stored at a higher elevation, such as in a reservoir created by a dam.
2. Release water
The water is released through pipes or tunnels (penstocks) to a lower elevation.
3. Turn a turbine
The falling water pushes against and turns the blades of a turbine.
4. Generate electricity
The turbine turns a metal shaft in an electric generator, which produces electricity.
5. Step up voltage
Transformers convert the alternating voltage to a higher voltage for long-distance transmission.
6. Feed into the grid
The electricity is fed into the electrical grid to power homes, businesses, and industries.
The amount of electricity a hydropower plant can produce depends on:
Water flow: The greater the water flow, the more electricity the plant can produce.
Head: The change in elevation, or fall, from one point to another. The higher the head, the more electricity the plant can produce.
What is a hydroelectric power plant, and how does it work ...
Hydropower is the largest and cheapest renewable electricity source globally. It generates about 15% of global electricity and provides at least 50% of the total electricity supply for more than 35 countries.
It’s not that other countries don’t increase. It’s china’s speed outruns by a mile 😂
USA hasn't changed much throughout the whole of this video.
@ it’s a bit sad to see that ngl
It needs to. Their population is more than 3 times larger than USA's.
Murika sat on its hands, that's why they can't have nice things.
I think it was entirely attributed to the Three Gorges Dam
when you see the title ,you already know the video end with which country.
😂
Absolutely 💯agree 😊
Yes, China has a large population that needs clean energy to generate electricity
@ just because one party system will not allow they break the promises .they can not blame to other party

"I build for China. China will grow larger...."
Lot of Brazil’s hydro power projects are done by Chinese companies
this is not true... all existing energy projects in Brazil were carried out with Brazil's own capital... in the future there may be some Chinese investment in this segment.
@@altentic8616 I think he/she meant technologically?
@@cheungchingtongNem isso, o Brasil aprendeu a construir suas próprias hidrelétricas lá na década de 30 e 40, com ajudinha do Tio Sam. Em plena década de 70 já estávamos construindo a gigante Itaipu com capital 100% nacional e tecnologia local também, quando a China sequer sonhava em fazer obras dessa magnitude. Os chineses nos ajudaram bastante na popularização da tecnologia solar, já que eles produzem em larga escala e bem barato, acessível para muitos países poderem comprar.
@@edneydenis7856 I just did some researching, China did send engineers to help Brazil on renovating its already existed hydropower stations, Ilia and Jubia are the names I think, so yeah, Brazil did build those, China does the modern renovation.
Thank you for your info anyway. Cheers.
There are no engineering works in the energy sector under Chinese supervision, nor hydroelectric plants and not even in the thermal power plants sector... we also have three (3) nuclear plants here in Brazil that were purchased from Germany in the 70s... therefore we do not have any Chinese influence in the energy sector
This is part of infrastructure ,infrastructure, infrastructure and China is still growing and the need for power to keep the country running in relation to the population
We should start calling these series of comparison videos "the rise of a new superpower"
Undoubtedly, China is threat to the national security of The Almighty US of A.
Thanks!
Thank you for the support Jack. I really appreciate the kindness in you. you are the very first person to do "super thanks" keep the kindness jack. I hope I can do better for you one day in the future.
All that clean energy flowing down from the Tibetan plateau is getting used.
It is so shocking to know that even Norway was producing more hydro power than India despite I dia having abundance of rivers.
And around 2006 China hydro piwer production increases sharply because that year the Three Gorges Dam was opened.
India is world no.1 in cow-dungs power. 😂😂😂😂
Hydroelectric power generation requires suitable geographical conditions. The Norwegian terrain is well suited for dams, and precipitation is high. Most parts of India are plains and are not suitable for hydroelectric power generation.
It takes time for India to be a superpower
You must take into account the number of dams collapsed faster than they can build 😂. The reasons are rat holes, heavy rains,, etc etc and but never about shoddy work and corrupt officials from the states.
The US always starts at the top on these sorts of video and then steadily falls. Such a shame.
what is more shameful is the US does not try to do more and better but tries every dirty trick possible to slow down others.
Not really. It is just other nations catching up to our lifestyle (which requires more energy)
@@SunriseLAW In the 80's the US had like 330 twh, present day less than 250. They are in fact declining in terms of hydro. But I get your drift and often that is the case - other countries are developing.
And it will become even worse. The Stone Age is welcoming the US
It's the stagnation which comes from thinking "you're the best" and don't have to work to stay there, it's just like electric vehicles, solar panels distribution and wind turbines, China is grasping opportunities with both hands and prospering from that.
别忘了,中国是世界上最大的太能能发电量国家,和世界上最大的风力发电国家,世界上最大的太阳能发电面板和风力发电设备制造国家,世界上核能发电技术最先进的国家之一!
急
China always comes out from nowhere😊😊
China has used up all the low hanging fruits in hydropower resources. The new fields are solar and wind. China has a lot of dry land and cheap solar panels.
Hydro, wind and solar PV with grid batteries combined with high insulation, high efficiency and electric transportation is the future:)

and yet that Swedish girl has know idea of this, and we dont see her anymore, no comment on eletric cars. 😂 well, i guess she has grown up.
There are thousands of Chinese people planting trees, grass and grids in the deserts...they are the real environmental warriors
To sum up, as a Chinese, China has developed 90% of the water resources that can be developed, and there will be no growth in hydropower generation in the future. In the future, the main focus will be on the growth of solar energy and other forms of power generation (China has a large area of Gobi that can accommodate solar panels).~
Don't agree with you for that 90%

Nope. They will double their output by 2035
? Not true. Large vertical drops still left to build on upper rivers off Tibet Plateau. China has about ~65% of its hydropower built. Rest requires more time to fill in the reservoirs. Actually Gobi is a bad place for solar. Tibet is superior and so is Taklaman desert.
There are several Hydro projects under construction or planning in my hometown, total investment over $20 billion, it will completely change this land

Where is the Soviet union?
Why is Scotland not on this list? It pioneered hydro power, but it's England and Wales that benefit. Electricity prices are high in Scotland, because the electricity generated by wind and water power there props up electricity gobbling
England.
Again, China won this race. Hydro is large, measured by TWh here, solar and wind just don't compare, and it is clean renewable. However, countries must have water resources to have hydro. Tibetan plateau high altitude locked in fresh water in its glaciers. China has a water monopoly in that part of world. If China wants to build more dams for hydro, river down streams to India, Bangladesh would be cutoff and agriculture lifelline would be cutoff.
india number one
Canada could, if it wanted to, supply the world with hyrdo power, it's basically powering half of the U.S., the main reason China has such a lead is because of its huge population - it needs it, Canada and U.S., and all other countries aren't going to build hydro dams for a population that doesn't exist.
Russia, Canada, United States, China and Brazil are the top 5 countries in the world by land area. They have the rivers to build hydropower. Only country missing is Australia which is the 6th largest country in the world.
@@Bk6346lol it’s not the land mass that matters in measuring hydro power potential. It is the altitude difference. If you talk about rivers. There’s hundreds of thousands of rivers all over the world. Even smallest countries have rivers. Please make sense here pal

I knew it. China is always Numba WAN.
According to the surveyors Canada has still 1.400.000 TWh of untapped potential for Hydro.
The future is murky on that. Canada won't give you a permit for a toolshed, let alone a hydroelectric installation.😠 It's a dam disgrace.(😄)
Too remote. Transmissions are costly
@ not for the Chinese apparently
Gargantuan amount of coastal BC and Quebec, but will be impossible or nearly so.
@@w8stral all of the protection and no development there.
Much better comparison would be per person... or as a percentage of power mix... absolute numbers are interesting but dont show all the picture..
Useless criteria. Power generated = cheap power to dominate world. Simple as that.
No, because the introduction of new capacities does not depend on the population or other energy sources. It is purely dependent on the geography of the country. I think a more appropriate indicator is the % of used capacity from all potentially available.
@@kulichkun8709 i agree that this heavily depends on country geography.. and water sources aka rivers.. in our country we have many water dams for electricity generation and the country size.. we use also gas.. but that is mostly used in companies which have their own powerplants.. and almost dont use the network.. we are heavy on nuclear as % of mix.. by heavy i mean more than half production.. than is water.. we have one unique with 700+MW output and can store almost 4GWh of capacity.. sorry its only in slovak... sk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%8Cierny_V%C3%A1h_(vodn%C3%A1_n%C3%A1dr%C5%BE) this is the real hard core gravitational battery.. now the world talks about such things we have 40+ years doing it job here..
Brazil could be a powerful country if it didn't have a hard history. Every data Brazil start behind and has your improvement.
Since 2015, a poor Brazilian can study in the college. It wiil have a good and visible consequence 15 or 20 years from now.
Exatamente
Rwpublic and liberal democracy damaged Brazil. Even more when we took Portugal's huge ass debt with the rotchilds to become "independent" from them, destroying the empire.
What a great idea. Being in debt with the rotchilds so we can install a liberal democracy that the US and Europe controls.
You mean if Brazil government was not trash...
I would love to see war spending by countries
Let me guess: China dwarf everyone 😂
This chart is all over the place. Soviet Union was missing and China’s number was too low pre-2000
It was really low at that time.I was born in 1998.When I should be two or three years old, our village can use electricity on a large scale.Not only for countries outside China, but also for Chinese people, China's development speed is too fast.In 2000, most of the houses in our village were mud houses.As a result, in less than ten years, our village has completed the transformation of old houses, and all the people live in new houses.The village has also been connected to running water, and the dirt roads in the village have become hardened roads.Now, in 20 years, almost every household in the village has a car.When I was a few years old, my father's bicycle was the property of the family.My father bought me a bicycle worth ten dollars, which can meet the envy of others.As a result, every family is now rich, and this is not an example, but a common phenomenon.
The countries on the american continent are the ones that use this the most.
Which ones? Only three Brazil, Canada and the US and they all have huge territories and abundance of rivers to generate hydro power. Still their combined generation is less than that of China's. Duh.

China has been converting deserts to greens, which is miracle.
Didn't realize Hydro was that big in US and Canada.
Bigger in China
@JinJiaLat-vl1oj obviously. China leads the way.
China, Best.
I'll look at the power generated, or the "profit" generated and who is ultimately benefited by these hydro-power. Is the people of the country, or a small number of people? For the case in China, I believe that it will be the whole world: Cheap power go to manufacturing of all kinds of products that is sold all over the world.
Watts per capita is what really matters, making Norway exceptional.
Iceland is more impressive than Norway
China have the same population with india btw 😂
China still beats USA by that measure. Oh no, overcapacity.
NS, small population make it easy to build damn, also norway is very big related to its ppl , and also lots of lakes and waterways,
The whole norway is just a small village on the edge of europe
Canada:Something ran past……
Literally every stats video - starts with USA, ends with China on top (by a huuuuuuuuuge margin)
hello 21st century
Eurasian ❤
False. USSR???
What happened to entry for Russia? Think you should be able to breakout Russia and USSR so as to correctly reflect their hydroelectric production earlier in timeline.
In 2022, Russia generated around 202 terawatt-hours of hydroelectric power.
PS - nice representation of growth of hydropower
why are building so many hydro power stations?
China: Yes, thank you!😂
To control flooding, there is also the issue of drought.I live in one of the southernmost provinces of China.We have too much water here.And because of the rainy season.Floods often break out here.If there were no hydropower stations to regulate water, there would be flooded land everywhere.Moreover, in the dry winter and spring, hydropower stations can release water to alleviate water pressure.
All these excellent videos could be titled - 'Here comes China'.
Canada was never lower than third place at any time.

Hold on a minute hydro power is fantastic great clean energy when done well but you can only rank these nations based also on a ratio of NG output by amount of rainfall and precipitation that each nation has each year overtime
Otherwise it’s a nonsense graph measuring the wrong thing and making it look like something else
Australia for example where I’m residing has very low rainfall compared to the rest of the world we have a little bit of hydro as we have some mountains but guess what? Our highest mountain is 7000 feet only and we don’t get a lot of rain.
So if it’s measured that way and you reference it, I’ll believe it a little bit more but at the moment it’s a nonsense graph
BC Hydro just start new dams this month produce new power again.Edmonton power talk build nuclear plant very soon.😊
It's great, but at about 5 TWh annually it will raise Canada's hydroelectric output only by just over 1%.
@dixonpinfold2582 yes,agree long way go still most nwt,yukon and nunavut still use old grid systems and old genset diesel.thanks
I kinda predicted the charts except Canada. Canada of cos is a big country but are there a lot of rivers? I'm feeling ignorant. Brazil is b'cos of lacking in money and tech for large infrastructure. US have no interest in infrastructure in general, and probably also b'cos of the oil companies.
An important factor is whether there's land around a suitable river that's not severely inappropriate to flood in order to create a reservoir. Canada was lucky to have nearly uninhabitable land in northern Quebec. The province worked around concerns about a few thousand residents and bird populations.
