What does a hydroelectric power station look like?
Typically, hydroelectric power station appears to be a dam holding back a reservoir of water. Inside are turbines that turn the water to steam to produce electricity.
Why does New Zealand make more use of hydroelectric power than the UK?
It makes very good sense for New Zealand to make much more use of hydroelectric power than the UK because New Zealand has more lakes which are situated high above sea level than the UK.
Why does most of British Columbia's electricity come from hydroelectric energy?
In British Columbia, hydroelectric energy is clean, renewable, abundant and relatively inexpensive.
Flat land at the mouth of a river?
The floodplain is an area of flat land found on either side of a river that usually becomes wider as the river nears its mouth.
A low watery formation of land at the mouth of a river is called a delta.
Can hydroelectric power completely replace current methods?
Hydroelectric power is already one of the current methods and has been for well over 100 years.
No it cannot completely replace other means of generating electricity. For one thing most western nations have already maxed out their usage of hydroelectric power and some have actually had to tear down some older dams due to environmental damage caused by the dam.
Rivers that can be economically dammed to generate power are a very limited resource.
What are some by-products of hydro power?
Dependence on regular rain fall which, as you know is a problem that will get worse with global warming. Google Atlanta Lake Lanier for a preview of what happens when it doesn't rain.
How can you generate electricity by using the sea?
It can be considered a viable idea. consider a dam water flow downward or seek to reach its own level. as the sea retreats from a tide a dam of sort can be set up to entrap the sea water hence a difference in level and as water return to the sea level generators could be made to turn therefore generating power.
Article 1 Section 8 Clause 18 is an example of what power?
it is also known as the commerce law. COngress have the power to regulate commerce among state but does not spell out the economic activity included in the grant of power. I think it is implied power
What fraction of Finland's electricity is generated by water power?
10-20 %.
For example year 2010 14,5% of all electricity supply in Finland was generated by hydro power.
How do you spell the word syphon like syphon gas?
It is normally spelled Siphon, but Syphon is an alternate spelling for the same word.
It's an attempt at using crops as a fuel source in order to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels as a source of energy. However, sadly it also increases the competition for these same crops as food sources for human consumption.
TO ACCESS the Chime Unit you must be on your back. IT IS LOCATED inside the dashboard near the inside top of the dash just to the left of the Radio/Deck.
A GOOD REFERENCE point is the accelerator (Gas Pedal). It is straight UP above that position.
EASY TO DISCONNECT, just pull the connection, it comes right off and then - S I L E N C E :-)
Where is the fuse for the suspension on a citroen c5?
The fuse for the suspension pump is not easy to get at it is in the engine compartment on the same side as the battery there is a plastic cover/box just behind the battery towards the bulkhead and you have to lift that up and the 40amp fuse is under that,if that fuse has blow then your pump is in big trouble.
What is a Pumped Storage Reservoir and why do you need them?
When there is not much demand for electricity, such as during the night, the extra electricity is used to pump water back up to a storage reservoir. Then, later in the day, when electricity demand is high, the water from the storage water is also released as an extra, producing more electricity when it is needed.
We need them because demand for electricity fluctuates (goes up and down) and pumped storage reservoirs allow us to meet the demand.
How do you calculate the plant load factor of hydro electric power plant?
PLF of Hydal Plant - 100% or 101%
How is hydropower used in homes?
Hydro power is generated as electricity that is supplied to your home through wires, as normal, so it just seems like other types of electric power. . . . . . You pay your bills to an electric power company, they will be able to tell you if you are supplied with hydro-electric or not.
