How are tidal power plants similar to hydroelectric plants?
Both use the flow of water generate electricity. Hydroelectric uses the flow of water from a high point to a low point. (A damn). Tidal power uses the flow of ocean tides in and out.
Where would you locate an hydroelectric plant?
Along rivers or streams, at the foot of hills and mountains with ponds or lakes, and at the mouths of bays and inlets where there are tides. Hydroelectric plants operate on the basis of gravity moving water downward. So the requirement for hydroelectric power is water and a difference in height, altitude or depth. Most Hydroelectric plants are located on rivers and used dams to provide the difference in height. In some cases, hydro plants have been built at the foots of hills or mountains that had lakes on them at higher levels. If the difference in altitude is sufficient, a small flow and a small power plant can produce an impressive amount of power. It is possible to get hydroelectric power from the movement of water without a dam, and this is done in rivers with sufficient current, but where damming the river would be too destructive to the land or things on the land. It is also done in places with tidal flows that are sufficiently energetic. Micro-hydroelectric sites can even be small streams, if the water flow is sufficiently reliable.
What does a hydroelectric power plant use to turn the turbines which are connected to the generators that make electricity?
The turbines or Pelton wheels in a hydroelectric power plant are turned by water pressure.
What are the different kinds of power plants located at Philippines?
No nuclear ones, apart from Bataan which has never operated
How the room noise detector will work?
If you make a noise, a man wearing just boxers will attack you
Can hydroelectric power cause noise pollution?
Hydroelectric power is generally made by water falling through a distance (waterfall, or dam) then striking the blades of a turbine and making them rotate to generate electricity. None of these operations is noisy. Hydroelectric power plants are generally constructed in isolation where any noise is not a problem or where the noise (waterfall) was present naturally and the diversion of the water to the plant would only lessen the natural noise levels.
How are tidal geberators different from hydroelectric plants?
Hydroelectric plants use energy from moving water
Where are hydroelectric plants found in Asia?
one of the largest facilities hydroelectric plants is found in Asia,china
Where is the hydroelectric power plants in India?
'Where are the hydroelectric power plants in India located?' will be a grammatically correct question, not 'where is'.
What kind of plants are used to make electricity from dams?
Hydroelectric plants capture the energy of the flowing water and convert it into electricity.
How do the three types of power plants make electricity?
Nuclear, coal-fired, and hydroelectric power plants provide electricity.
How many hydroelectric plants exist in the US?
There area little over 850 Hydroelectric Power plants in the United States
Can hydroelectric cause pollution or waste?
hydroelectric causes noise pollution, but other wise there isn't any pollution caused by it.
What country does not have hydroelectric plants?
The Vatican.
How are water wheels similar to hydroelectric power plants?
Moving water turns both water wheels and hydroelectric power plants.
Are hydroelectric power plants dams?
yes
Can some plants make a noise?
it is found that leaves of plant with broad blades can absorb sound and this technique is used in controlling sound pollution. The root formation of plants is very alike to the hearing mechanism of humans. :)
