Is it a better option to produce electricity as compared to hydroelectric power stations?
Hydroelectric power stations certainly have their advantages and disadvantages, as do all forms of electrical generation. Probably the best solution is to use a combination of different means of producing electricity, with hydroelectric stations as part of the mix.
Can traditional power stations be switched on and off at will?
No, they can't, they have to be powered up and down over several hours - especially nuclear power stations. This is why hydroelectric power stations are so useful to deal with surges in power demand, they can go from zero to full in seconds - Dinorwig Hydroelectric powerstation is the fastest, taking 12 seconds to go from 0 - 1,320 mw.
Which part of the UK is best for building hydroelectric power stations?
Stick your finger up your bum and your bum will tell
Electric current from a generating plant is?
Electric current from a generating plant is a alternating current transmitted at high voltages, but usually used at low voltages.
How is energy produced in nuclear power stations?
In most nuclear reactors, uranium heats water which turns to steam which turns turbines generating steam.
How many hydroelectric power stations are there in Britain?
There are hundreds of hydroelectric power stations in England.
Why are hydro electric generating stations important?
Because hydroelectric plants are important because they provide a low poultion and cheap energy. The plants are expensive to build.
What are the applications of battery at generating stations?
The applications of battery at the generating stations is that they are used for applications maintenance and test schedules.
Why are there few hydroelectric power stations in UK?
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.

Where are 3 places on earth that nuclear power plants are located?
Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations- Kincardine, Ontario, Canada Pickering Nuclear Generating Stations- Pickering, Ontario, Canada Darlington Nuclear Generating Station- Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada
What is hydroelectric power stations?
A power station that harnesses power from running water.
Why switchboard is an important equipment in any generating stations?
control everything
Which of the generating stations has the minimum running cost?
hydro-electric station
What is Hydroelectric power?
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
What is Irelands water power?
Ireland has many rivers and can get power from them. Ardnacrusha is the most well known of the power stations generating Hydroelectric power. It is in Co. Clare, and harnesses the power of the river Shannon. Turlough Hill in Co. Wicklow is another well known one.
Why is the control gate built near the dam in hydroelectric power stations?
for the passage of flood discharge
