Hydroelectricity.
Hydropower is generated using water. It harnesses the energy of flowing or falling water to produce electricity. This is done by capturing the kinetic energy of the water and converting it into mechanical energy, which is then used to spin turbines connected to generators, producing electricity.
Water is stored in hydropower plants. Electricity is generated using the potential energy of water.
Electricity generated from the energy in a falling column of water.
Electricity generated by water power alone is hydroelectric power.
electricity generated from the force of falling water
16% of the world's electricity is generated by hydropower (water power).
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.
in the uk electricity is generated at ?
Hydroelectric ? Electricity generated by water going thru turbines.
it is number 78
10-20 %. For example year 2010 14,5% of all electricity supply in Finland was generated by hydro power.
Electricity itself is not a fossil fuel but, can be generated by steam turbines and generators where the steam has been generated by heating water in fossil fuel boilers.
