How does the hydroelectric generating system work?

Take for example, a dam. Water flows through the gates (when opened) of the dam and turn turbines. Inside these turbines are coils of copper usually that generate electricity.


How fast does water have to move to make electricity?

The speed at which water needs to move to generate electricity depends on the design of the hydroelectric power system. In general, water must flow at a minimum velocity of about 3-5 feet per second to turn the turbines and generate electricity efficiently. However, higher velocities may be required for certain systems to generate sufficient power.


How can geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity?

let the geothernal energy to boil the water, then use the stream to generate the electricity. it is the same way when you use coal generate the electricity. but the detail system is very complicated.


How do you power machinery with hydropower?

A paddle wheel or turbine is turned by the moving water (the kinetic energy). This can be connected by a system of gears, wheels or even pulleys to turn a machine. This was how grain was ground into flour. After electricity was understood, the water spins turbines which generate electricity, and this electricity is used to run machines.


Can wind turbines produce energy when the wind is not blowing?

Yes, if they are linked to an electricity storage system, like a battery bank, or pumped water storage, then they can release energy even when the wind is not blowing.In times of low demand they can charge their batteries, or pump water to a reservoir upstream. When the wind stops they have electricity in their batteries, or they can release water from the dam which will generate electricity.


What is the advantage of the WARP wind system?

The WARP wind system offers the advantage of high efficiency with its unique design that allows it to capture wind energy at lower wind speeds compared to traditional wind turbines. This means that it can generate electricity more consistently even in areas with low wind resources.


What transfers gravitational potential to kinetic to electrical current?

In a hydropower system, falling water from a height transfers gravitational potential energy to the kinetic energy of the moving water. The kinetic energy is then used to turn turbines, which generate electricity through electromagnetic induction in a generator.


What is a magneto ignition system?

On things like cars you usually have a belt driven alternator to provide electricity to the ignition and all electric functions. But if you have something simpler, like a chain saw or a small outboard engine, then you can have magnets in/on the flywheel that pass by coils to generate electricity for the spark plugs. And that's a magneto ignition system.


What is the stages of electricity production in a coal fired power station?

The coal is burned to generate heat. The heat is used to boil water which creates steam. The steam is used to turn large turbines. The rotary motion of the turbines generates electricity. The voltage of the electricity produced is 'stepped up' by means of a transformer. The high-voltage is fed to the national grid system for distribution.


Who is wimalasurendra?

Wimalasurendra is a SriLankan Inventor who invented the water related electricity generation system (using turbines with high pressure water stroke)


What are the factors required to generate electricity?

Factors required to generate electricity include a source of energy (such as coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, or hydro), a generator to convert the energy into electrical power, and a transmission system to deliver the electricity to homes and businesses. Additionally, a control system is needed to manage the generation process efficiently.


Why do you need water to make electricity?

Discounting solar and wind generation. It depends on how you are generating electricity. For example, in your car, you are generating electricity as the engine turns which also turns a generator or alternator to recharge your battery. In a car with a water cooled engine, water cools the engine so it doesn't overheat. In some power generation water is heated to produce steam which in turn might turn a turbine to generate electricity. In other cases a hydroelectric system might use falling water to turn a turbine. In a nuclear power plant water can be used to cool the heat generated by the nuclear fission process.
