Why do hydroelectric power stations have to be built in hilly areas?
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).
How many nuclear power plants is China building?
In China, approximately two power stations are being built each week.
Why are power stations built by the sea?
Power stations are often built by the sea to take advantage of the abundant cooling water available for their operations, which is essential for maintaining optimal temperatures in power generation processes. Additionally, coastal locations facilitate the transport of heavy fuel supplies and equipment via shipping routes, reducing logistical costs. Furthermore, some power stations, like offshore wind farms or tidal energy facilities, are specifically designed to harness renewable energy sources directly from marine environments.
When were power stations invented?
someone please answer this question? :/
Why are nuclear power stations built in remote areas away from cities?
Nuclear power stations are typically built in remote areas to minimize the risk to large populations in case of an accident or radioactive release. The distance from urban centers also helps mitigate the potential for environmental contamination and ensures that emergency response efforts can be more effectively managed. Additionally, remote locations often provide access to necessary resources, such as water for cooling, and reduce land use conflicts with residential or commercial developments.
Why are power stations often built beside rivers or the sea?
hydropower
Why are there few hydroelectric power stations in UK?
because the conditions for a hydroelectric power stations in the uk aren't right so only a few can be built.

Why is the control gate built near the dam in hydroelectric power stations?
for the passage of flood discharge
How many nuclear power plants is China building?
In China, approximately two power stations are being built each week.
How much wildlife has been taken up by nuclear power stations?
Only the wildlife that used the power plant site before it was built
Is a Dyson sphere practical?
A dyson sphere could never be built. However space based solar power stations could be built with the help of space elevators, space fountains & launch loops. Space based solar power stations will reduce the effect of global warming due to the expansion of the sun into a red giant & also space based solar power stations could help to power laser powered vehicles.
Why cant hydroelectric power stations be built on flat area's?
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.
Why are Britain's nuclear power stations all built on west coast?
Britain's nuclear power stations were built on the west coast due to historical reasons, such as the availability of cooling water from the sea and proximity to population centers. This location also reduces the risk of radioactive contamination spreading over densely populated areas in case of an accident. However, newer nuclear power stations are being built inland to diversify the locations.
What are the three main power stations?
The three main types of power stations are thermal power stations, hydroelectric power stations, and nuclear power stations. Thermal power stations generate electricity by burning fossil fuels, while hydroelectric power stations harness the energy of flowing water. Nuclear power stations utilize nuclear fission to produce heat, which is then converted into electricity. Each type has its own advantages and environmental considerations.
Why do you think power stations are built close to the coal?
so that money doesn't get wasted on transport ;to avoid delays on coal deliveries
