How it WorksA few different ways:
-

-Most used method of generating hydroelectricity
-Potential energy of dammed water driving a water turbine and generator
generates electricity.
-The power extracted from the water depends on the volume and on the
difference in height between the source and the water's outflow.
-The amount of potential energy in water is proportional to the height
difference.
-A large pipe delivers water to the turbine where the electricity is generated.
Conventional - Damn

How it Works
![Page 7: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
-Produces electricity to supply high peak demands by moving water between reservoir at different elevations.
-Low electrical demand: excess generation capacity is used to pump water into the higher reservoir.
-Higher demand: water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine to produce electricity.
Pumped Storage
![Page 8: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
-Small or no reservoir capacity
-Water coming from upstream must be used for generation at that moment, or must be allowed to bypass the dam.
Run-of-the-River
![Page 9: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
-Makes use of the daily rise and fall of ocean water due to tides
-Highly predictable
-Can also be dispatchable to generate power during high demand periods.
-Less common types of hydro schemes use water's kinetic energy or undammed sources
-Tidal power is viable in a relatively small number of locations around the world due to need of specific conditions.
Tide

Underground-Makes use of a large natural height difference between two waterways (e.g. Waterfall, Mountain Lake).
-Underground tunnel is constructed to take water from the high reservoir to the generating hall built in an underground cavern
-Built near the lowest point of the water tunnel
-A horizontal tailrace taking water away to the lower outlet waterway.

Contribution to world fuel consumption
• Most widely used form of renewable electricity
• Accounts for 7% of global energy consumption in 2012- energy, not fuel as hydroelectric energy does not use fuel
- it lessens world fuel consumption
• 12,340 PJ (petajoules) of electricity production in 2010

Problems & Challenges● Economic Challenges
• Environmental Impact
![Page 15: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The construction and maintenance of the structures that help to produce the power is very high. The high costs of building and maintenance can undermine the overall production of electricity.
a. Average cost to build a dam on a river - $3.4 billion
b. Annual maintenance cost - $2 million
Economic Challenges
![Page 16: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Flooding land for a hydroelectric reservoir has an extreme environmental impact as it destroys forest, wildlife habitat, agricultural land, and scenic lands.
Environmental Impact
![Page 17: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The formation of the reservoir increases the water level. Animals are displaced from their natural habitats and these habitats are sometimes destroyed.
Impact on Wildlife
![Page 18: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The dam blocks the way for upstream fish to lay eggs and migrate. For example in North America the salmon have been greatly affected by the damming of major rivers.
Impact on Marine Life
![Page 19: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The stagnant water in the reservoirs produces substantial amounts of greenhouse gases like methane and carbon-dioxide.
Greenhouse Emissions
![Page 20: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Social ImpactThe lives of people living on the river banks and whose income is closely tied with the river will be greatly affected.
1. Fishing and agriculture would be affected due to the environmental effects of this power production
2. Entire communities have to be relocated to higher grounds or to places further away from the dam.
![Page 21: Hydroelectric power Group 3. Leader - Jerald Kiew 12 Members Chu Yuan 3 Leom Sheng Teng 13 Gregory Loh 15 Wong Choon Pin 24 The Team.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103100/56649ed15503460f94bdf6d1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Tehri dam in India was well known for its controversy. Due to the construction of the dam, the people had to be relocated. This caused social unrest among the people because they
had lost the agricultural land that they had owned and passed down from generation to generation.
