The largest hydroelectric plant in the United States is at Grand Coulee Dam. Its three powerplants have a capacity of 6,809 MW, and it generates, on average, about 21 billion KWh, while Hoover Dam's powerplant has a capacity of 2,074 MW and generates approximately 4 billion KWh a year.
dear sister you talked 2 things but whats difference between 1: Grand Coulee Dam. Its three powerplants have a capacity of 6,809 MW, and 2: and it generates, on average, about 21 billion KWh
Thanks for helping me with my engineering assignments! My teacher loved this video! We are talking about hydroelectricity right now so this was perfect!
Hydropower… Hydropower, or hydroelectricity refers to the conversion of energy from flowing water into electricity. It is considered a renewable energy source because he water cycle is constantly renewed by the sun. One of the first uses of hydro-energy was for mechanical milling, such as grinding grains. But today, modern hydro plants produce electricity using turbines and generators. The mechanical energy created by moving water spins rotors on a turbine. This turbine is connected to an electromagnetic generator which produces electricity when the turbine spins. There are two main type of hydroelectricity production. Dams and run of river. Hydro dams utilize the potential energy from damned water to produce electricity. A dam is a large barrier constructed to raise the level of water and control it’s flow. The elevation created by the dam creates gravitational force for turning the turbine when water is released. Some dam also contain an additional reservoir at their base where water is stored to be pumped to the higher reservoir for release when eletricity is in demand. This is referred to a pumped stored hydro. The second form of hydroelectricity production is run of river hydro. Run of river still uses turbines and generators but relies on natural water flow rates of rivers, diverting just a portion of the water through turbines. Because run of river hydro is subject to natural water variability, it is mort intermittent than dammed hydro. There are various of hydro plants that produces electricity. Large hydro, greater than 30 megawatts. Small hydro, 100 kilowatts to 30 megawatts. And micro hydro, less than 100 kilowatts. The Hoover Dam in the United States is a whopping 2074 megawatts, which is enough to serve 1.3 million people. Of all renewable energy sources, hydropower holds largest share of worldwide electricity production. Hydropower has several benefits. It is a cost competitive form of electricity. Even though the initial building cost can be high. It is quite reliable compared to other renewable options and pairs well with other sources as it can be used as base load power. In some cases, dammed reservoirs can also help with flood control and be a reliable supply for communities. There are also some concerns with hydroelectricity, especially when it comes to large dams. Damming a river has a major impact on the local environment, changing wildlife habitat, blocking fish passage and often forcing people in riverside communities to move out of their homes. In addition, dam failures can be catastrophic claiming the lives of those living downstream. Hydroplants are also not completely free of greenhouse gas emissions. As with most form of energy carbon dioxide emissions happen during construction, particularly due to the large quantity of cement used. And plant matter in the flooded areas makes methane another greenhouse gas, as it decays underwater. That’s hydropower.

Thx! Really helped me! I hv a presentation to do in a week and my topic is about Hydro tech...I did have a fair idea about dams but i still was a bit confused. But this video cleared up my confusion! Thx again!
So when the cement trucks are gone and the decaying plants in the flooded basin die ... then there are no more greenhouse gases associated with an hydroelectric dam?

In Slovenia, but it's gonna be tiny. Probably about 5 watts. I want to be able to use it for charging my phone and powering LEDs. BTW I subbed because your channel is AMAZING! :)
I work in a company where they told me that for the hpp is best if it works on maximum power according to the level of accumulation but if we put it to work for less power it will still use almost the same amount of water. Is that true?
Could someone please professionally caption this? I have to use this for school, and it is quite frustrating as a hoh (hard of hearing) teen when I don't have captions. Thanks!
Super ! but you didn't go further by explaining what are Small Hydro Power Plants, and Micro Hydro Plants. In these cases, the impact on the river, flora and fauna is much less, the period of construction is more reduced, the power plants are NOT blocking the river, etc. than large dams.
i want to setup the 10kw alternator in my field can anyone please tell me whats the requirment. ie speed of water flow etc and how much electricity it will generate per-hour
I dont get it. If the water that powers a dam comes from a reservoir, does it ever run out? Why do we always see dams overflowing and not drying in the news. I also heard the water from a dam is still but shouldnt it be flowing since the water continously goes down?
Hello! Hydro dams can actually run low on water if there is lower than normal rainfall, or spring runoff. It has happened to dams as big as the Hoover dam before: www.circleofblue.org/2010/world/low-water-may-still-hoover-dam%E2%80%99s-power/. It's generally not as extreme of an event as spillover's, and dont have as compelling visuals, which is likely why they arent reported on as much.
Student Energy thank you! But it still bugs me how they run 24/7 yet the resorvoir is quite small, and it doesn’t even rain everyday. Are they only releasing small quantities of water?
Usually the reservoirs and dam will be part of a larger network of rivers. The dam backs up the water that is naturally flowing and pools it in the reservoir. This is mostly done to ensure there is always a large stockpile of water in the reservoir to drive the turbines 24/7. Theoretically you would try to release about the same amount of water as what naturally flows in that river, but practically that is impossible to perfectly maintain. The challenges come with spring runoff or droughts as you can have pretty big changes to what the natural flow rate of that river would be, which makes it harder to keep the artificial flow rate of the dam under control.

I dont get it. If the water that powers a dam comes from a reservoir, does it ever run out? Why do we always see dams overflowing and not drying in the news. I also heard the water from a dam is still but shouldnt it be flowing since the water continously goes down?
Hello! Hydro dams can actually run low on water if there is lower than normal rainfall, or spring runoff. It has happened to dams as big as the Hoover dam before: www.circleofblue.org/2010/world/low-water-may-still-hoover-dam%E2%80%99s-power/.

Student Energy thank you! But it still bugs me how they run 24/7 yet the resorvoir is quite small, and it doesn’t even rain everyday. Are they only releasing small quantities of water?
