What else can I help you with?
Is hydro power and hydro electricity the same thing?
Yes, hydro power and hydroelectricity refer to the same thing. It is electricity generated by harnessing the energy of moving water using turbines in hydroelectric power plants.
Is hydro power the same thing as hydroelectric?
no. yet they are similar
Is tail water level and minimum water level on hydro power plant the same?
No, Tail water level is level of water in d/s after discharge while mini. water level if water level in reservoir for run the hydro power turbine
Is hydro energy and hydro power the same?
Basically, yes.
How does hydro electricity flow?
Hydro electricity is electricity generated by moving water, usually from dams nowadays. Electrical power is all the same. It flows through wires.
Is hydropower the same as hydroelectricity?
Hydro Power means conversion of kinetic energy of water into electricity.Hydel Power means conversion of temp. differencewater into electricity.
How is hydro power safe?
Overall hydro power safe than fossil fuel systems and nuclear as the are are no site air emissions, no waste and no thermal degradation of water.The creation of hydro power usually requires the diversion of the water at an existing waterfall or the creation of a reservoir. The diversion of a waterfall may not cause problems as the water is eventually released to the same water course. The hydro power reservoir with its associated dams is another case. These systems can:be an impediment for spawning fishflood ecosystemsresult in methane losses from decomposing drowned vegetationchange the hydrodynamics of the lower reaches of rivers
Can one hydro power station power 2 cities at the same time?
Of course. Niagara Falls powerhouse sends hydro energy all over Southern Ontario, Canada.
Can hydroelectricity be used in homes and businesses?
Yes, hydro electricity is the same as all electricity. It is called hydro because it is made from the power of water falling. But the electricity is used in homes and businesses for heating, lighting and running machinery.
Is hydro different to hydroelectric?
hydroelectric means drawing energy from the natural flow of water. Basically harvesting gravitational energy. hydro just means the same as water.
Why is hydroelectric power considered a renewable resource?
Hydro-electric power is a renewable resource. The definition of 'hydroelectric' is hydro or water used to generate electricity. It is said that the same amount of water that is on earth now is the same amount that was on earth about 5 billion years ago because of the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation etc.) thus causing it to be renewable after use. Hydro-electric power has a considerably lower output level of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than fossil fuel powered energy plants and it is renewable because you can continuously use it and it will not run out. The water will continue to fall as rain, fill the dams and generate electricity.
If those water that make hydro-power move doesn't recycle will it be wasted?
In short: The water is naturally recycled by the earth. Long answer: The water that goes through the hydro-power dam, goes through turbines, in which the water transfers its potential energy to kinetic energy to power the electrical generator. The same water that goes in the hydro-powered dam comes out just with less energy. The water eventually reaches the sea, where it slowly gets evaporated by the sun. This evaporated water slowly forms clouds, which will turn to rain clouds. The rain falls on the ground, and gets slowly funneled into streams, and rivers. Since rivers are typically above sea level, the water has a large amount of potential energy. These rivers then feed back into the hydro-electric dam completing the loop where they again convert there potential energy to electrical energy.
