Description: Hydropower plant uses water flowing in river or stored in dams to generate electricity.
Hydropower system uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity. It keeps the environment clean. It is a least cost power plant than any other plant. Because hydropower plants can generate power to the grid immediately, they provide essential backup power during major electricity outages or disruptions. Hydropower provides benefits beyond electricity generation by providing flood control, irrigation support, and clean drinking water.
Socio-Economic Benefits: Hydropower plant reduces consumptions of fossil fuels, also reduces pollution. It is not only reduces the production of green house gases, but also it improves the air quality because it does not emit air pollutant. Hydropower provides benefits beyond electricity generation by providing flood control, irrigation support, and clean drinking water. Hydropower is affordable.
