for the passage of flood discharge
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.
There are around 2,000 hydroelectric power stations in Britain. These power stations generate renewable energy by using the flow of water in rivers and streams to turn turbines and produce electricity.
I don't know about hilly areas (many stations are next to dams), but they have to be built where the water flows through the turbines by gravity (i.e., does not have to be pumped).
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.
They are built on flat land because the dams in the power station cannot be tilted.This is because the dam would be tilted and wouldn't be secure to build.
It was built to provide irrigation water flow, for flood control and for hydroelectric power generation.
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
The three gorges dams.
hydroelectric power.
Tidal power stations require specialized technology to capture energy from changing tides, which is still in the early stages of development and more expensive to build and maintain compared to traditional hydroelectric power stations. Additionally, tidal power stations face more technical challenges due to the harsh marine environment, increasing their construction and operation costs.
i don't now so haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
