Hydropower Knowledge

Compared with steam turbine generator, hydro generator has the following characteristics: (1) The speed is low. Limited by the water head, the rotating speed is generally less than 750r / min, and some are only dozens of revolutions per minute. (2) The number of magnetic poles is large. Because t...Read more »

Reaction turbine is a kind of hydraulic machinery that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy by using the pressure of water flow. (1) Structure. The main structural components of reaction turbine include runner, headrace chamber, water guide mechanism and draft tube. 1) Runner. Runner ...Read more »

Climate change concerns have brought a renewed focus on increased hydropower production as a potential replacement for electricity from fossil fuels. Hydropower currently accounts for about 6% of the electricity produced in the United States, and the generation of electricity from hydropower prod...Read more »

Worldwide, hydropower plants produce about 24 percent of the world’s electricity and supply more than 1 billion people with power. The world’s hydropower plants output a combined total of 675,000 megawatts, the energy equivalent of 3.6 billion barrels of oil, according to the National...Read more »

If you mean power, read How much power could I generate from a hydro turbine? If you mean hydro energy (which is what you sell), read on. Energy is everything; you can sell energy, but you can’t sell power (at least not in the context of small hydropower). People often get obsessed with wanting t...Read more »

Waterwheel Design for Hydro Energy hydro energy iconHydro energy is a technology that converts the kinetic energy of moving water into mechanical or electrical energy, and one of the earliest devices used to convert the energy of moving water into usable work was the Waterwheel Design. Water whee...Read more »

In natural rivers, water flows from upstream to downstream mixed with sediment, and often washes the river bed and bank slopes, which shows that there is a certain amount of energy hidden in the water. Under natural conditions, this potential energy is consumed in scouring, pushing sediment and o...Read more »

Using the gravity of flowing water to generate electricity is called hydropower. The gravity of water is used to rotate turbines, which drive magnets in rotating generators to generate electricity, and water energy is also classified as a renewable energy source. It is one of the oldest, cheapest...Read more »

How to Recognize Quality and Durability As we’ve shown, a hydro system is both simple and complex. The concepts behind water power are simple: it all comes down to Head and Flow. But good design requires advanced engineering skills, and reliable operation requires careful construction with qualit...Read more »

1. Working principle Water turbine is the energy of water flow. Water turbine is the power machinery that converts the energy of water flow into rotating mechanical energy. The water in the upstream reservoir is led to the turbine through the diversion pipe, which drives the turbine runner to rot...Read more »

Micro hydroelectricity turbine generator is more and more popular among people of all over the world, it is simple structure and installation, it can wildly used in most of the mountain area, or along the revers. And we need to know some of the knowledge of operation and...Read more »
