There are hundreds of hydroelectric power stations in England.
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.
A power station that harnesses power from running water.
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.
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
Increased water pressure
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.
for the passage of flood discharge
i don't now so haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Hydroelectric power plants or H.E.P stations use a flowing river to turn a turbine which powers the genertator much like other power sources to create electricity. The water is then returned to the river. H.E.P stations can also be in a reservoir.
Whether the electricity is generated by conventional power stations, or hydroelectric power generation, the electricity used in homes and businesses will still be the same, and used the same.
Fossil-fuel power stations, hydroelectric power stations and nuclear power stations.
