HYDROELECTRIC POWER

Hydroelectric power

 

What is hydropower?

 

 It is the energy that uses force that generates the movement or the WATER pressure to produce electric energy. 

WHAT SERVES?

 

To produce energy and avoid use of exhaustible as coal or oil resources.

Where and how is it produced?

 

 This energy is produced in hydroelectric Centrals.  

The raw material of this energy is water, which is a highly renewable energy.

 The river water is stored in a reservoir. When there is excess water the floodgates open and let the water entering with high pressure at turbines. With the movement the turbines move their propellers, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.  

The transformer increases the strength of power and energy travels through cables supported by large towers carrying electricity transformation stations, where it becomes high voltage power in a smaller energy for use in homes and businesses to those that arrive by cable.

Future hydroelectric power

Future hydroelectric power, developed countries eligible countries for the future of the hydro, you know that you will continue to use this source of electricity. It is expected that in the less developed to make the use of hydropower is encouraged especially with the installation of Central hydraulic, to solve the problems arising from the installation and use of plants, as the coordination and streamlining of environmental impact criteria.
