1) Hydroelectric power plants utilize the potential and kinetic energy of flowing water to generate electricity. Water is collected in a reservoir behind a dam and then sent through turbines connected to generators.
2) The essential components of a hydroelectric power plant are the catchment area, reservoir, dam, penstocks, turbines, generators, and tailrace. Water is stored in the reservoir and released through penstocks to spin the turbines.
3) Dams can be classified as masonry dams, which include gravity, buttress, and arch dams, or fill dams, consisting of earth-fill or rock-fill structures. Spillways help regulate reservoir levels and provide a safe passage for excess water.
This document discusses different types of power plants. It begins by describing thermal power plants, including their turbines and cooling towers. It then covers hydroelectric power plants, explaining pelton, reaction, kaplan and francis turbines. The document also examines nuclear power plants, outlining their basic layout and how nuclear reactors work. Additionally, it summarizes gas and diesel power plants. Finally, the document explores non-conventional power sources such as ocean thermal, wind, tidal, geothermal and magneto hydro dynamic systems.
This document provides information about pumped storage power plants. It discusses that pumped storage plants work like conventional hydroelectric power stations by using water stored in an upper reservoir, which is released through tunnels to turbines connected to generators to produce electricity. When demand is low, the turbines reverse to pump water back up to the reservoir to be available later. The document outlines the key components and working of pumped storage plants, and notes their advantages in providing flexible energy storage and quick response times to meet peak demand, though they are expensive to build.
The document summarizes pumped storage power plants, which use excess electricity at night to pump water to a higher reservoir, then release the water through turbines to generate electricity during periods of high demand. Key points include: pumped storage plants store energy by pumping water to an upper reservoir using cheap off-peak power, then releasing the water to generate peak power; they provide flexibility to power grids and improve the efficiency of thermal and nuclear base load generation; major examples from around the world include the 1,872 MW Ludington plant in the US and the 360 MW Ffestiniog plant in the UK.
Hydroelectric power plant classification of hydroelectric power plant , Different types of Hydroelectric power power plant in India factor considered in selection of hydroelectric power plant
There are two basic types of turbines: impulse and reaction turbines. Impulse turbines use nozzles to direct steam onto curved blades, deriving energy from the steam's kinetic energy. Reaction turbines have fixed and moving blades, with the steam's pressure and kinetic energy driving the moving blades. Most steam turbines use a mixture of impulse and reaction stages to maximize efficiency. Turbines are used widely in power plants, ships, aircraft engines and other applications to convert fluid energy into useful rotational work.

This document provides an overview of hydroelectric power. It discusses how hydropower harnesses the kinetic energy of moving water to generate electricity. Dams are constructed to store water, which is then channeled through penstocks to power turbines in powerhouses. There are three main types of hydropower plants: run-of-river plants that use natural river flows, reservoir plants that store water behind dams, and pumped storage plants that function like batteries by pumping water to higher reservoirs. Hydropower is a renewable source that provides clean energy without pollution, but large dams require significant investment and financing.
Hydroelectric power plants harness the kinetic energy of flowing water to generate electrical power. There are several types of hydroelectric power plants classified by their hydraulic characteristics and operating head. Run-of-river plants utilize minimum river flows without storage, while storage plants feature upstream reservoirs. Pumped storage plants pump water back uphill during off-peak hours. Tidal plants use the difference between high and low tides. Classification by head includes low-head (<15m), medium-head (15-60m), and high-head (>60m) schemes. The major components of a typical hydroelectric scheme are the intake, penstocks, turbines, generators, and powerhouse. Impulse turbines like Pelton wheels and reaction turbines
1. Hydroelectric power plants harness the kinetic energy of flowing water by using a turbine connected to an electric generator. Water is stored in a reservoir behind a dam and then flows through a penstock to spin the turbine blades.
2. The turbine spins a shaft connected to a generator to produce electricity. Common types of turbines include Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines which are suited for different water flows and heads.
3. In addition to generating electricity, pumped storage plants can pump water back up to the reservoir during low demand to be available for power generation during peak loads. Hydroelectric power is a renewable source that produces no emissions.

A high-Speed Communication System is based on the Design of a Bi-NoC Router, ...DharmaBanothu
The Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as an effective
solution for intercommunication infrastructure within System on
Chip (SoC) designs, overcoming the limitations of traditional
methods that face significant bottlenecks. However, the complexity
of NoC design presents numerous challenges related to
performance metrics such as scalability, latency, power
consumption, and signal integrity. This project addresses the
issues within the router's memory unit and proposes an enhanced
memory structure. To achieve efficient data transfer, FIFO buffers
are implemented in distributed RAM and virtual channels for
FPGA-based NoC. The project introduces advanced FIFO-based
memory units within the NoC router, assessing their performance
in a Bi-directional NoC (Bi-NoC) configuration. The primary
objective is to reduce the router's workload while enhancing the
FIFO internal structure. To further improve data transfer speed,
a Bi-NoC with a self-configurable intercommunication channel is
suggested. Simulation and synthesis results demonstrate
guaranteed throughput, predictable latency, and equitable
network access, showing significant improvement over previous
designs

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

3. The energy of water utilized for generation of
power using KE and PE of water by motion
and position respectively
3
4. • Hydro power is considered as one of the most
economic and non polluting sources of
energy.
• Power generated from water is termed as
Hydroelectricity.
• Hydro electricity means electricity generated
by hydropower or from the use of the
gravitational force of falling or flowing water.

5. 5
Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object or
system because of its position or configuration.
Kinetic energy of an object is relative to other
moving and stationary objects in its immediate
environment.
7. If water source is in abundance then the water power
is very cheap.
Though initial investment is high the operating costs
are quite low when compared to other power plants.

13. • The study of water, including rain, snow,
water on earth’s surface, covering its
properties, distribution and utilization is
called hydrology.
• The science which deals with rainfall and
run-off is also called hydrology.
• The evaporation of water from the surface
of river and oceans and its precipitation on
the earth is known as the hydrological cycle.
13
20. 1) Precipitation: it is same as condensation i.e. converting
natural water vapour into water.
• Basically precipitation is of two types
a) liquid precipitation (rainfall).
b) solid precipitation (snow).
2) Run-off: it is the portion of precipitation which reaches the
streams again .
• Run off occurs only if the rate of precipitation exceeds the
rate of which water infiltrates into the soil.
3) Evaporation:
• it takes place from the surface of oceans, rivers, lakes etc.
• The stored water is used for irrigation, water supply, energy
production etc.
20
Hydrology Terminology
21. • It is a cyclic movement
of water from the sea
to the atmosphere of
evaporation and then
back to the earth
surface (sea, ocean) by
precipitation.
• The hydrological
equation is
Precipitation= run off
+ evaporation.
21
22. • The quantity of water flowing in a river would be
varying and may not be constant for a period of
time.
• Therefore the flow measurement is very important.
• Using a channel of fixed cross section and
measuring the water velocity using current meters
at maximum points of the cross section at different
water levels at regular intervals the flow volume
may be measured.
• And by integrating the velocities over the cross
section total flow can be calculated.
• A curve can be plotted between gauge height and
discharge.
22
25. • A hydrograph is a discharge vs. time curve of the water flow.
• It shows the variation of river flow with time.
• It may be plotted based on data, of weeks, months and even
years.
• Discharge on y-axis and time on x-axis.
25
26. • Hydrograph gives
discharge available at
different time ( day, week,
month or year ).
• Maximum and minimum
runoff can also be studied.
• It gives mean run off.
• It helps in studying the
effects of storage on flow.
26
• The area under the hydrograph
gives total volume of water for
given durations.
27. • In drainage area characteristics generally used to study the
hydro-graphs: flow duration curve, mass curve for estimation
of storage capacity of a reservoir.
• There are three types of streams based on nature of flow.
1) steady flow rivers.
2) flashy flow rivers.
3) Perennial flow.
27
28. STEADY FLOW RIVERS
• If the variation of discharge is less for a considerable time
such streams are termed as steady streams.
FLASHY FLOW
• In certain areas where soil surfaces are
impervious (solid), irregular distribution
and slope.
PERENNIAL STREAMS
• The streams in the geographical areas of monsoon lands
generally river flow levels are low in summer and high during
monsoon time. Such streams are called as perennial stream.
28
29. 29
• Hydrologic data generally consist of a sequence of observations of
some phase of the hydrologic cycle made at a particular site.
• The data may be a record of the discharge of a stream at a
particular place, or it may be a record of the amount of rainfall
caught in a particular rain gauge.
Phases of Hydrologic Cycle
• Although for most hydrologic purposes a
long record is preferred to a short one, the
user should recognize that the longer the
record the greater the chance that there
has been a change in the physical
conditions of the basin.
30. 30
Flow duration curve is a plot of discharge versus percentage of time
for which the discharge is available. It is obtained from hydrograph
data.
The flow or discharge can be expressed as cubic meters per second,
per week or other unit of time.
This flow duration curve is also known as power duration curve.
Flow Duration Curve
31. • It is a plot of cumulative volume of water that can be stored
from a stream flow versus time in days, weeks or months.
• It shows a mass curve, Maximum intercept between line AB
and mass curve is known as reservoir capacity
• Slope of the mass curve at a point gives the rate of inflow at
that instant.
31
32. Storage:
• The collection of water in a reservoir upstream of the plant
and increasing the capacity of stream for a long period of
time a called storage.
• Storage plants work as base load stations.
• Base load plants are of high capacity and takes the load on
the base portion of the load curved.
• Peak load plants are designed for taking care of peak loads.
32
33. Pondage:
• For a short period of time the pondage increases the stream
capacity behind a dam near the plant.
• Pond permits to store water during off peak hours and this
could be used during peak hours of the same day.
• If there is a considerable distance between plant and the
reservoir, pond is needed at the plant to regulate the flow.
33
34. The following factors should be given careful consideration
while selecting a site for a hydro-electric power plant:
1. Water Available:
• The estimates of the average quantity of water available
should be prepared on the basis of actual measurements of
stream or river flow.
• The river flow data should be based on daily, weekly, monthly
and yearly flow ever a number of years.
• The plant capacity and the estimated output as well as the
need for storage will be governed by the average flow.
• The primary or dependable power which is available at all
times when energy is needed will depend upon the minimum
flow.
• The maximum of flood flow governs the size of the
headwords and dam to be built with adequate spillway.
34
35. 2. Water-Storage:
• The output of a hydropower plant is not uniform due to wide
variations of rain fall. To have a uniform power output, a
water storage is needed so that excess flow at certain times
may be stored to make it available at the times of low flow.
• To select the site of the dam ; careful study should be made
of the geology and topography of the catchment area to see if
the natural foundations could be found and put to the best
use.
3. Head of Water:
• The level of water in the reservoir for a proposed plant should
always be within limits throughout the year.
4. Distance from Load Center:
• Most of the time the electric power generated in a hydro-
electric power plant has to be used some considerable
distance from the site of plant.
• To be economical on transmission of electric power, the
routes and the distances should be carefully considered since
the cost of erection of transmission lines and their
maintenance will depend upon the route selected.
35
37. 5. Access to Site :
• It is always a desirable factor to have a good access to the
site of the plant.
• This factor is very important if the electric power generated is
to be utilized at or near the plant site.
• The transport facilities must also be given due consideration.
6. Type of the Land of Site:
• The land to be selected should be cheap and rocky.
• The land should have largest catchment area to store water at
high head and will be economical in construction.
• The rock should be strong to withstand the stresses
transmitted from the dam structure as well as the thrust of
the water when the reservoir is full.
• The rock should remain stable in all conditions.
37
38. 38
• Hydroelectric power plants use the potential energy of water
stored in a reservoir to operate turbines. The turbines are
connected to large generators, and can operate on varying
volumes of water to adapt to changing demand for electricity.
• Hydroelectric power plant capacity is related to the height and
capacity of a reservoir and require certain conditions in local
geography in addition to a water source.
• Hydro is a renewable energy source and more cost-effective than
many other renewable sources of energy such as photovoltaic.
• Hydropower currently provides about 25% of the world’s electricity
and is very flexible in scale. Commercial installations range from 1
MW up to the largest installation to date of 18,400 Megawatts
(China).

ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF A WATER-POWER PLANT
42. 42
2. Reservoir:
• Whole of the water available from the catchment area is collected
in a reservoir behind the dam.
• The purpose of the storing of water in the reservoir is to get a
uniform power output throughout the year.
• A reservoir can be either natural or artificial.
• A natural reservoir is a lake in high mountains and an artificial
reservoir is made by constructing a dam across the river.
3. Dam:
• A dam is built across a river for two functions: to impound the
river water for storage and to create the head of water.
• Dams may be classified according to their structural materials
such as: Timber, steel, earth, rock filled and masonry. Timber and
steel are used for dams of height 6 m to 12 m only. Earth dams
are built for larger heights, up to about 100 m.
43. 4. Spill Ways:
• When the water enters the reservoir basin the level of
water rises.
• To relieve of this excess water a structure is provided in
the body of dam or near the dam or on the periphery of
the dam.
• The safeguarding structure is called spill ways.
43
44. 5. Conduits:
• A headrace is a channel which leads water to a turbine and
a tailrace is a channel which conducts water from the
wheels.
• The conduits may be open or close
• Open conduit ---- Canals and flumes
• Closed conduit --- Tunnels, pipelines
6. Surge Tanks:
• It is a small reservoir or tank in which the water level
rises or falls to reduce the pressure swings so that they
are not transmitted in full to a closed circuit.
44
45. 7. Prime Movers:
• The prime mover converts the energy of water into
mechanical energy and further into electrical energy.
• They are classified into impulse and reaction turbines.
8. Draft Tubes:
• The draft tube serves two purposes.
• It allows the turbine to be set above tail water level,
without loss of head.
• It regains, by diffuser action, the majority of KE delivered
to it from the runner.

47. • Dam is a concrete or stone masonry barrier to raise water for
storage and also hydraulic head.
• The Dam must fulfil two fundamental functions.
◦ 1) it develops a reservoir which has a capacity to store water.
◦ 2) It builds up head and thus potential for the river i.e. water
head.
Different types of dams:
1) Masonry dams
◦ 2) Fill dams.
◦ 3) Timer dams
Masonry dams are classified into three categories.
a) Gravity dams
b) Buttress dams
c) Arch dams
Fill dams are classified into two categories.
a) Earth Dams
b) Rock fill dams
47
48. 1) solid gravity dam
• This dam is constructed using masonry concrete.
• It is bulky and massive than other types.
• Sound rock foundation is required.
• The height of the dam is limited by the strength of the
base.
• The design is simple but it consume heavy materials.
• This type of dams are more economical at small river
valleys.
• These dams provides safe and economical spillway
facilities.
48
49. 2) Arch dams:
• Arch dams are curved in plane.
• Structure is curved upstream.
• This type of dams are more economical and stronger than
gravity dams.
• This type of dams are only suitable for narrow valleys with
steep slopes of solid rock to support the outward thrust of
the structure.
• The water thrust is compression.
49
51. 3) Buttress Dam:
• They are also known as hollow gravity dams inclined
upstream face so that the pressure of water create large
downward force which provides stability of sliding and
overturning.
• The force is transmitted to a row of buttress.
• They are also safe against earthquakes.
• Hence countries like Japan and Italy are going for these dams.
• It requires 1/3 rd of material required for solid gravity dam.
• These dams are generally triangular in shape.
51
53. 1) EARTH FILL DAMS:
• It is generally used for small capacity power plants.
ADVANTAGES:
• Cheaper than masonry dams.
• Can be built at any locations.
• Suitable for relatively pervious foundation.
• Gets stronger with age.
• Can be erected quickly.
53
54. DIS ADVANTAGES:
◦ 1) requires more maintenance.
◦ 2) supplementary spill way is required.
◦ 3) fails suddenly with out any warning.
◦ 4) it is subjected to erosion and flood damage.
◦ 5) limited in height.
54
55. 2) Rock Fill dam:
• These dams are eventually constructed in mountaneous
regions where rock is rather than earth is available.
• Rock fill dam consists of
◦ a) lose rock fill.
◦ b) an upstream dry rubble cushion of laid up stone bonding
into the dumped rock.
◦ c) an upstream impervious membrane on dry rubble
cushion.
55
56. • The part of the dam which discharges the flood flow to the
down stream side is called as spillway.
• Spillways act as a safety valve for a dam.
• They are provided on dams to avoid damage to dams.
• They keep the reservoir level below the predetermined
maximum level.
• The down stream must always be provided a safe passage.
56
Types of spill ways
1) overflow spillways.
2) chute spillways.
3) shaft spillways.
4) side channel spillways.
5) siphon spillways.
57. 57
OVERALL SPILLWAYS
• This is the simplest , low in cost and suitable for concrete dams.
• When dam reaches full reservoir level stream overflows from the
top.
• There may be gate control at the top of the dam
• Counter weight is provided to lift the gate.
• This is widely used on gravity arch and buttress dams.
58. Chute Spillway:
– This spillway is a channel made of reinforced concrete
slap.
– The water is discharged into steep sloped open channel
called chute.
– This type of spillways are adopted to earth or rock fill
dams.
– This is simple in design and suitable for all foundations.
Shaft Spillways:
– In this spillways water drops through vertical shaft and
passes though a conduit horizontally and sends the
water down stream.
– When there is very limited space for spillways this type
is adopted
– Main draw back is the hazard of clogging with debris.
– So we need to prevent debris from entering into
shaft spillway.
58
59. Side channel spillway:
– These are employed at narrow gorges or canyons.
– When scope for overflow on chute spillways is
very less this type is employed.
Siphon spillway:
– The stream is discharged by siphonic action.
– When all the air is removed in siphon the space
gets filled with water, siphon action starts and
water starts flowing over the crest.
– This will continue until the reservoir level
becomes down below the inlet or mouth level.

• Increase CO2
levels in water
61. • A simple surge tank is a vertical stand pipe connected to the
penstock.
• Surge tanks are built high so that water can not overflow even with
a full load change on the turbine.
• The surge tank always placed on ground surface, above penstock
line, at the point where the latter drops rapidly to the power house.
• The height of the tank should be increased with the help of
support.
61
62. • When a surge tank is
inclined to the horizontal its
effective water surface
increases and therefore ,
lesser height surge tank is
required of the same
diameter if it is inclined or
lesser diameter tank is
required for the same
height.
• This type of surge tank is
more costlier than ordinary
type as construction is
difficult and is rarely used
unless the topographical
condition are in favour.
62
63. • This type of surge tank has
an expansion tank at the
top and expansion gallery
at the bottom, these
expansions limit the
extreme surges.
• The upper expansion
chamber must be above
the maximum reservoir
level and the bottom
gallery must be below the
lowest steady running level
in the surge tank.
• Besides this the
intermediate shaft should
have a stable minimum
diameter.
63
64. • The main function of this
surge tank is to create an
appreciable friction loss when
the water is flowing to or from
the tank thorough this
restricted orifice or throttle
area.
• When the load on the turbine
is reduced the surplus water
passes through the throttle
and retarded head equal to
the loss due to throttle is built
up in the conduit.
• The size of the throttle
adopted is usually such as the
initial retarding head is equal
to the rise of water surface in
the tank when the full load is
rejected by the turbine.
• This type is rarely used.
64
Advantage is storage function of
the tank can be separated from
accelerating and retarding
functions.
Disadvantage is water hammer
pressure is transmitted directly
into the low pressure conduit.
65. • A differential surge tank
has a riser with a small
hole at its lower end
through which water
enters in it.
• The function of the surge
tank depends upon the
area of hole.
65
66. • This is known as tapered draft
tube and used in all reaction
turbines where conditions
permit. It is preferred for low
specific speed and large high
head units, vertical shaft Francis
turbine.
• The maximum cone angle of
this draft tube is limited to 8° (a
= 4°) for the cause mentioned
earlier.
• The hydraulic efficiency of such
type of draft tube is 90%.
• In any event, the draft tube
should be made as to secure a
gradual reduction of velocity
(uniform decease towards the
exit of draft tube) from the
runner to the mouth.
• A form that is theoretically
good is “Trumpet Shaped”.
66
67. • The elbow type draft tube is often preferred in most of the
power plants, where the setting of vertical draft tube does not
permit enough room without excessive cost of excavation.
• This offers an advantage in the cost of excavation ; specially
in the rock.
• If the tube is large in diameter ; it may be necessary to make
the horizontal portion of some other section than circular in
order that the vertical dimension may not be too great.
• A common form of section used is oval or rectangle.
67
69. Hydro electric plants are classified according
1)Based on available head
a) High head plants
b) Medium head plants
c) Low head plants
2) Based on nature of load
a) Base load plants
b) Peak load plants
3) Based on quantity of water available
a) Run-off river plants (with and without pond age).
b) Storage plants.
c) Pumped storage plants.
d) Mini and Micro hydel plants

70. • The water from the reservoir can be taken to a smaller
storage known as a forebay, by mans of tunnels.
• From the forebay, the water is then distributed to the
penstocks.
• The function of the forebay is to distribute the water to
penstocks leading to turbines.
• The inflow to the forebay is so regulated that the level in the
forebay remains nearly constant.
70
71. • The turbines will thus be fed with under a constant static
head.
• Thus, the forebays help to regulate the demand for water
according to the load on the turbines.
• In the valve house, the butterfly valves or the sluice type
valves control the water flow in the penstocks and these
valves are electrically driven.
• Gate valves are also there in the power house to control the
water flow through the turbines. after flowing through tile
turbines . The water is discharged to the tail race.
71
72. • It is used If the head of water available is more than 50 m.,
then the water from the forebay is conveyed to the
turbines through pen-stocks.
• In these plants, the river water is usually tapped off to a
forebay on one bank of the river as in the case of a low
head plant.
• From the forebay, the water is then led to the turbines
through penstocks.
72
73. • A dam is built on the river and the water is diverted into a canal
which conveys the water into a forebay from where the water is
allowed to flow through turbines.
• After this, the water is again discharged into the river through a tail
race. At the mouth of the canal, head gates are fitted to control the
flow in the canal. Before the water enters the turbines from the
forebay.
• It is made to flow through screens or trash-racks so that no
suspended matter goes into the turbines. If there is any excess
water due to increased flow in the river or due to decrease of load
on the plant, it will flow over the top of the dam or a waste weir can
be constructed along the forebay so that the excess water flows over
it into the river.
• For periodic cleaning and repair of the canal and the forebay, a drain
gate is provide on the side of the waste weir. The head gate is
closed and the drain gate is opened so that whole of the water is
drawn from the forebay and the canal for their cleaning and repair.
73
74. • Plants supplying base load which is generally
constant and runs without stop are known as
base load plants.
• These are of greater capacity.
• The run off river and storage type power
plants are used as base load plants.
74
75. • These plants supply power at the peak load
time.
• When load is more than the average load.
• Run off river plants with pond age and
pumped storage plants are used as peak
load plants.
• They store water during off peak time and
supply for peak hours.
• The load factor is low compared to base
load plants.
75
76. • Pondage refers to the collection of water
behind the dam and increases the steam
capacity for short periods.
• This plant has a flexibility to meet the
hourly demand.
• Hence the discharge is more than the
normal, may be 3 to 8 times more.
• Pondage increases the stream capacity for
short time periods.
• These plants can meet peak load demand
and also used as base load plants.
76
77. • These plants would have reservoirs of large
size to facilitate the storage of water and
thus it is independent of seasonal streams.
• The stream flows are considerably higher
than natural flow.
• There fore this plant can be used as base
load as well as peak load alternative.
• The majority of the hydro plants in world
are this type.
77
78. 78
• Like peaking, pumped storage is a method of keeping water in
reserve for peak period power demands.
• Pumped storage is water pumped to a storage pool above the power
plant at a time when customer demand for energy is low, such as
during the middle of the night.
• The water is then allowed to flow back through the turbine-
generators at times when demand is high and a heavy load is place
on the system.
Pumped Storage Plants
79. • The reservoir acts much like a battery, storing power in the
form of water when demands are low and producing
maximum power during daily and seasonal peak periods.
• An advantage of pumped storage is that hydroelectric
generating units are able to start up quickly and make rapid
adjustments in output.
• They operate efficiently when used for one hour or several
hours.
• Because pumped storage reservoirs are relatively small,
construction costs are generally low compared with
conventional hydropower facilities.

How Micro-Hydro Systems Work
• Micro-Hydroelectric systems take water
from a stream and channel it into a pipeline
that creates a vertical drop in order for the
water to turn turbines that powers the system
