HEP (hydro-electric project)...Electricity is produced by the fast motion of water turning turbines. Hydro dams can control the speed of the flow of the water, holding water back until the dam can be opened and produce a really fast surge to turn the turbine and make the electric power. Then the owner sells the power for a profit.
What else can I help you with?
What is the main source of energy for hydroelectricity?
Water. (There is a clue in the name). Hydroelectricity is created by the use of the potential energy in water stored behind a dam. Actually, water itself is not a source of energy, though the original answer is somewhat correct, that it is the potential energy of the water (due to its height) stored behind the dam, we must look at what energy source moved the water (against the force of gravity) to its height behind the dam, and that source is the radiant energy of the sun. With the exception of nuclear and geothermal, the sun provides the source of all energy used on earth. Tidal 'energy' is mainly the result of the Moon's gravitational pull and therefore is not dependent on the Sun.
The what energy of water in a dam is increased by raising the level of water behind the dam?
Potential Energy
What type of renewable energy is a dam?
Hydro energy
What energy is produced when water is released through dam turbines?
Electrical energy - the turbines drive generators
What kind of energy is being produced by generators at a dam?
Hydroelectrical.
What is the main energy source for a hydroelectric dam?
Gravity
The energy source in which a dam plays a key role is?
hydroelectric
Which kind of energy is produced by generators at a dam?
Generators at a dam produce hydroelectric energy by converting the potential energy of stored water in the dam into electrical energy through the rotation of turbines connected to the generators. This renewable energy source is clean and sustainable.

What could be the source of irrigation water?
An aquifer, a river, a lake or a dam. Also in desert countries the sea could be a source if desalination is used.
What kind of energy is generated with running water from a river o dam?
Hydropower energy is generated by capturing the energy from flowing water in a river or dam. This energy is converted into electricity through turbines connected to generators. Hydropower is a renewable energy source that is clean and sustainable.
Can you produce power electricity- www.powerfromgravity.com from gravitational not a dam force?
Can we produce power (electricity - www.powerfromgravity.com) from gravitaitonal (not from dam) force by using buoyancy from renewable source of energy?
What are disadvantages of hydro power energy?
You would have to build a dam, which could mess with the flow of the river.
In a hydroelectric dam the movement of a river is used to spin many wheels. The wheels are called turbines. The spinning is used to make electricity. What is the source of this renewable energy?
The source of this renewable energy is water. As the river flows and spins the turbines in the dam, it generates clean and sustainable hydroelectric power. This energy production method is environmentally friendly and does not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
The what energy of water in a dam is increased by raising the level of water behind the dam?
Potential Energy
What is the ultimate source of energy in hydroelectric power station?
The ultimate source of energy in a hydroelectric power station is the gravitational potential energy of water. Water stored behind a dam has gravitational potential energy due to its elevation, which is converted to kinetic energy as it flows downhill through turbines, generating electricity in the process.
What energy is stored in dam?
Potential energy
