It is used to determine the force on the turbine blades as water passes over them.
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.
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.
Stick your finger up your bum and your bum will tell
Electric current from a generating plant is a alternating current transmitted at high voltages, but usually used at low voltages.
In most nuclear reactors, uranium heats water which turns to steam which turns turbines generating steam.
There are hundreds of hydroelectric power stations in England.
Because hydroelectric plants are important because they provide a low poultion and cheap energy. The plants are expensive to build.
The applications of battery at the generating stations is that they are used for applications maintenance and test schedules.
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.
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.

A power station that harnesses power from running water.

Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
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.
