Is it expensive to start a hydroelectrical power station?
cottam power station is Verry expansive power station i coast at least up to £50,000 .
What type of power station has the least start up time?
A gas-fired power station takes the least time to start up.
What type of power station has the shortest start up time?
A gas-fired power station has the shortest start up time out of all three fossil fuels

Does hydroelectric power start with the sun?
Hydroelectric power does not necessarily start with the sun, because water pumped or carried up to a lake made by man (or woman) behind a dam will push that water through a turbine to turn a generator. This is not to say that the sun has nothing to do with rain water that yearly collects on the same lake.

What is the start up time for geothermal power station?
Geothermal power stations are built by digging into the Earth's crust and tapping into the direct heat that is never ending. It generally takes around nine months to start a geothermal power station.
Which type of fossil fuel power station has the shortest start-up time?
Gas stations start up the quickest because they use gas turbines and do not require water to be boiled up to produce steam.

Why is hydroelectric power more efficient than the use of coal or uranium?
Hydroelectric power is 100% efficient as there is no energy requirement to draw/start power production (outside of that to construct the materials of course). To start coal or uranium energy processes energy is required to start the process. These processes rely on heat from these energy sources to create steam which can run turbines which naturally lose energy released from these sources. Because not all of this energy is released in the form of thermal energy and because converting energy is intrinsically inefficient, these sources of power are currently less energy efficient. (actually hydroelectric plants are no more efficient than any other turbines, and possibly less than most highly efficient multi- stage compound condensing steam turbines. The efficiency is based upon how much of the energy passing through the turbine is converted to mechanical energy. Roughly 60% for the best designs.) Hydroelectric power has high start up costs, dam building [habitat flooding], and can only be built in specific areas (river valleys) as they take up vast quantities of space. ]
