Hydroelectric power has always been a pretty “green” way to generate electricty, simply interrupting the natural hydrological cycle to borrow some of its potential energy to convert to electrical ...

Blocked passages for fish and turbine-induced mortality of downstream migrating fish are major environmental issues for hydropower projects. Direct spillage is one method to protect downstream fish ...

The term “hydroelectric power” often brings to mind immense operations driven by purpose-built infrastructure such as dam systems and large turbines with traditionally metallic, propeller-based ...

Scientists in Australia have proposed to use a a propeller pico-hydropower turbine to recover the energy used for pumping water in a solar-powered commercial building. They have found that the mini ...

Hydropower is a renewable energy source that utilizes the natural flow of falling or fast-moving water. To generate hydroelectricity, a hydroelectric power station needs to be set up to transform the ...

One of the distinguishing characteristics of deregulated power markets is variable demand. The ability to operate efficiently at partial loads can determine whether a plant is profitable or not. This ...

A hydroelectric generator produces electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of running water. Now you can not only find stationary larger-scale hydroelectric generators but also portable micro ...

Hydro has made the final investment decision for its largest hydropower development in over 20 years. Construction of the Illvatn pumped storage power plant in the Luster Municipality will begin this ...

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. recently announced it has signed a definitive agreement to develop an additional 100 megawatt ...

Hydro Energy, a wholly-owned unit of Norwegian aluminium company Norsk Hydro ASA (NHYDY) has announced the final investment decision for its largest hydropower development in more than 20 years with c ...

California’s years-long drought put hydroelectric power flat on its back. But one of the cleanest and cheapest energy sources may be poised for a comeback as the state has been drenched with rain and ...
