A hydroelectric power plant is a non-convention power plant and widely used to generate electricity from a renewable source of energy. To achieve kinetic energy from water, the reservoir or dam is constructed at a high head from the ground level. The initial cost of a hydroelectric power plant is very high.
Generation of electricity by hydropower (potential energy in stored water) is one of the cleanest methods of producing electric power. In 2012, hydroelectric power plants contributed about 16% of total electricity generation of the world.Hydroelectricity is the most widely used form of renewable energy. It is a flexible source of electricity and also the

Hydroelectric Turbine Runner Classification. Hydroelectric turbine runners can be categorized in various ways: The three common hydroelectric turbine designs are the Kaplan, Pelton, and Francis designs. There are reaction (Kaplan and Francis) and tidal hydroelectric power plants. Kaplan runners have been used for applications exceeding
Types of Hydropower Turbines. There are two main types of hydropower turbines: reaction and impulse. The type of hydropower turbine selected for a project is based on the height of standing water—referred to as "head"—and the flow, or volume of water over time, at the site. Other deciding factors include how deep the turbine must be set
Abstract. The hydropower plants can be broadly subdivided into different classes based on quantity of water available, available head, and nature of load. Based on quantity of water available hydro power plant can be classified into Reservoir plants, Run-off river plants with pondage, and Run-off River plants without pondage.
Hydropower is a widely used form of renewable energy, accounting for about 16% of the world''s electricity generation. It is also a flexible and reliable source of energy that can be used for both large-scale and small-scale electricity generation. Additionally, it provides a range of other benefits, such as flood control, irrigation, and water

A micro-hydro power plant Advantages of Hydroelectric Power Plants: One of the major advantages is that the ''fuel'' used is Water which is self-replenishing. Moreover, it requires no transportation like coal or oil. The same water can be used for drinking and agriculture. The system is highly efficient (95%).
Types Of Turbines used In river power plants. The Turbines that are used in the first two operating modes are: Kaplan Turbines. Propeller Turbines. Francis Turbines. Those Kind of turbines are ideal for Small heights of falls and a huge mass of water Then pressure becomes relatively Low.
cross-flow. multi-jet Pelton. Turgo. cross-flow. reaction turbines. Francis. propeller. Kaplan. The rotating element, also known as the ''runner'' of a reaction turbine are fully immersed in water and enclosed in a pressure casing.
Hydroelectric power plants can be categorized according to their use: run-of-the-river serving as base load power plants, and accumulation serving as peaking power plants. Or they
0. Classification of Hydro Power Plants According to Nature of Load. According to nature of load, the plants are classified as follows : (i) Base load plants, (ii) Peak load plants, (iii) Pumped storage plants for peak-loads. (i) Base load plants : These are the plants which operate to supply the load on the base portion of the load curve.
Hydroelectric power plants can be categorized according to their use: run-of-the-river serving as base load power plants, and accumulation serving as peaking power plants. Or they can be categorized according to the method of water concentration and its delivery to the turbine: reservoir, derivational and pumped-storage hydroelectric power plants.
A micro hydro power (MHP)''plant'' is a type of hydro electric power scheme that produces up to 100 KW of electricity using a flowing steam or a water flow. The electricity from such systems is used to power up isolated homes or communities and is sometimes connected to the public grid.. Micro hydro systems are generally used in developing countries to
According to the load supplied hydroelectric power stations may be classified into: (a) Base Load, (b) Peak Load, and. (c) Pumped Storage Plants for the Peak Load. (a) Base Load
Renewable hydropower is a clean, reliable, versatile and low-cost source of electricity generation and responsible water management. Figure 1: Hydropower plant with main components. . Hydropower systems. There
The formula for total power that can be generated from. water in hydroelectric power plant due to its height is given. P= q*h*g. Where "p" is the power produced in "watt". "Q" is the
A hydropower plant typically consists of an intake, a waterway ("headrace"), a penstock, the power station with electrical and mechanical equipment ("Elmek"), and finally a waterway ("tailrace") to the outlet. It may or may not include a dam and a reservoir for water storage. The three main components of Elmek equipment are: turbine
