It depends on the type of power station. Some, such as dams just use the weight of the water coming out. Tidal powerstations use the force of the tides, kind of like how windmills use wind. I, however, do not believe that there are currently any sources of hydroelectric power that use waves.
What else can I help you with?
Is rain going to be a renewable energy resource in France?
Rainfall captured behind a dam can be used by a hydro-electric power station to generate electricity. France has many hydro schemes running already.
What is the purpose of a hydro electric dam?
to generate electricity by utilizing energy of falling water
What does hydro-electricity do?
Hyro-electricity is the same as any other electricity. the Hydro- prefix merely denotes how the electricity was generated, in this case it was generated at a hydro-electric plant which uses the potential energy of elevated water to generate electricity.
Could hydro-power be used for transportation?
Yes, hydro (kinetic) energy can be used to generate electricity. There are many electric vehicles, including trains.
What is a hydro - electric power station?
A hydro-electric power station is a facility that generates electricity by using the energy of flowing water to turn turbines, which then produce electrical power. This renewable energy source harnesses the gravitational force of water to create electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydro-electric power stations can vary in size from small-scale installations to large dams and reservoirs.
Could hydro-powered energy be used for transportation?
Yes, hydro (kinetic) energy can be used to generate electricity. There are many electric vehicles, including trains.
What are the waterfalls that generate electricity in the Philippines?
waterfalls can generate hydro-electricity by the force of the water
Is falling water an energy resource?
Yes, falling water can turn a turbine and generate electricity, as it does in hydro-electric dams.
What are the uses of hydro electric power?
Hydro power is using the power of water (dams, rivers, oceans) to generate electricity. The uses of electricity are everywhere, powering factories, offices, homes, kitchens and living rooms. To produce electricity
Is hydro energy made by flowing water?
Hydro-electric energy can be created in many ways, but all forms of energy require the spinning of a turbine to generate electricity.
What type of energy does hydro enegry generate?
Electricity.
Describe briefly the working of a hydro electric power station?
Turbine is moved with flow of water and this is coupled with generator to produce electricity
