Hydro electric power generally is generally thought of as the power of water falling through a distance (like the generators at Niagara falls). This also a demonstration of the problem with the process, it requires water at high places that can be fed down to generators at low places. this makes it unavailable for flat or arid countries. Hydro power can also include wave or tidal power systems. Large bodies of water are required excluding land locked or arid countries. The third case is turbines in rivers with the attendant concern that not all locations have such resources.
Many small hydro installations of these types can be developed for small user communities, but the ability to replace large thermal power stations is limited.
What else can I help you with?
Is wave energy a renewable source of energy?
Yes, wave energy (hydro-power) is a renewable source of energy.
What is one renewable source of energy?
One renewable source of energy is solar energy. You can get solar energy from using solar panels. The Renewable Sources of Energy are: Solar Power Hydro Electricity Wind Power Biomass Geothermal
What are atcually renewable source of energy?
there are so many renewable energys but i can say some: solar energy, hydro power, geothermal energy........
An example of a renewable engery source is?
Hydro power, solar power, wind energy, Bio mass
What renewable resource is the second largest source of energy after fossil fuels?
Hydro-power presently is the most prevalent renewable power source, primarily as hydroelectric generation.
Is hydro power renewable energy source?
yes, hydro-power is considered a renewable energy source because it is easily gained and easily "re-made". Other Examples of this is biomass, geothermal energy and windpower. non-renewable energy is considered anything that takes a LONG time to make, like millions and billions of years! an example is oil, coal or natural gas.
Why was hydro power invented?
Hydro power was invented because a clean renewable energy source was needed. The world's supply of coal and oil are being used up, and those resources are not renewable.
How is hydro power used?
Hydropower is used to make electricity, usually at dams. Hydroelectric power is a renewable energy source, with energy captured from moving water.
Is hydro energy powerful?
No, hydro-power comes from moving water so it is kinetic energy.
Is the energy source renewable?
Renewable energy sources are naturally replenished and can be sustained indefinitely, whereas non-renewable sources will eventually run out. Examples of renewable energy sources include solar, wind, and hydro power.
Is electrival energy a Renewable Energy?
electrical energy can be derived from a renewable or non renewable source. It itself cannot be classed as renewable as such because capacitors to store the energy are not 100% efficient in converting back to electrical energy
Can energy be renewable?
Wind, tidal, wave power, solar energy, biomass, hydro power
