Hydropower plants install _____________ ladders to help fish swim upstream to reproduce. Some hydropower plants have fish

Yes, in a power plant a proportion of the generator output is fed back into the plant to run auxiliaries, before the bulk output is transformed up to the high voltage of the main transmission lines. In a nuclear plant some backup power is essential in the event of losing the connection to the outside completely, and this is provided by diesels with their own generators.

it can only be used in areas woth specific kinds of rivers - apex

Hydroelectric power is produced by running water.

Because it doesn't burn anything. Power is generated by water turning a turbine.

apex!! It can only be used in areas with specific kinds of rivers:)

The hydroelectric plant included a fish ladder so fish could still return to their spawning grounds.

The generator, consisting inside the Hydropower plant, collects electricity from the pressure of water pushing the turbines. The long distance power line cables are attached to the generator to extract the electricity.The power lines transport all the electricity to our homes and factories

renewable

Both wind power and hydroelectric power are renewable energy sources that generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions. Both technologies utilize natural forces (wind and water flow) to produce power through turbines. Additionally, both wind and hydroelectric power can provide a consistent source of electricity when integrated into a larger power grid.

Some are about 2.3-3 billion dollors

Because in a drought there is not enough water to drive the turbines. So no electricity is generated.

"Wp" means Watts peak. It is the maximum amount of power a solar panel could produce in perfect conditions. It is not an attainable value.

The way they determine this amount is to take short circuit current and multiply it by open circuit voltage.

Actual max power is closer to 56% of the WP rating.

• Wherever there is a river, it can usually be harnessed (using a dam and/or turbines).
• Wherever there are tides, they can occasionally be harnessed (using a barrage and/or turbines).
• Wherever there are ocean waves, they can usually be harnessed (using machines to capture their movement to produce electricity).

hydroelectric power is an important for producing the power in the low loss of energy..energy is nothing but producing the power....so we can easily produce the power from hydroelectric power plant.

Hydropower affects the aquatic life. It displaces the people living nearby.It is more prone to floods.

Electric energy is produced through various methods such as burning fossil fuels (coal, natural gas), harnessing renewable sources (solar, wind, hydro), or through nuclear reactions. These methods involve generating electricity by turning turbines, which are connected to generators that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric energy is then distributed through power lines to homes and businesses.

Depends on how you use it..

According to Einsteins equation E=mc^2 (energy = mass * the speed of light squared), 1 gallon of water is equal to 326 petajoules.

The world consumes 15 terawatts (54 petajoules / hour). -HowStuffWorks.com

1 Gallon of water = Enough energy to satisfy the world's energy needs for ~6 hours.
