Hydro power is the generation of electricity by using the natural force of water. It is generated in 3 different ways: hydroelectric power, tidal power, and wave power.
1. Hydroelectric Power: This is the most common form of hydro-power, making up the majority of all renewable energy produced. Electricity is produced in hydroelectric dams where the force of falling water drives massive turbines.
2. Tidal Power: The second most popular type of hydro power, tidal energy is produced by currents caused from the natural ebb and flow of the tide.
3. Wave Power: This is the youngest of the three hydropower solutions. The system harnesses the power from ocean surface wave motion, where air displaced by waves is driven through a generator than spins a turbine. The end result is electricity. These generators can either be coupled to floating devices outta sea, or fixed along the shore where seas are rough. Although this technology is relatively new, it has been estimated that there is enough energy in ocean waves to produce up to 2000 Megawatts of power.
