Hydroelectric Energy
Hydroelectric energy is a sustainable and cost-effective source of power with numerous benefits such as being renewable, low in pollution, and versatile in applications like backup power and flood control. However, it also poses challenges like disrupting fish migration and competing for land use. Understanding the formula for generating hydro power involving pressure, volume flow rate, gravity, and height is key to maximizing its efficiency.

Hydroelectric Energy By Hydro Squad
Advantages Cheap No pollution Renewable Very little flaws Doesn t depend on international fuel sources Can provide backup power Can provide irrigation and control floods
Disadvantages Hydroelectricity can disrupt fish migration habits if done improperly. Hydroelectricity can worsen the water quality of the the water in which it is used Hydroelectricity can be affected by drought Hydroelectric power plants can compete with other potentially more useful things that the land can be used for
Formula for generating hydro power P = pQgh P = power generated in Kilowatts p= pressure of water Q= Volume flow rate (volume per second) g= 9.81m/s^2 h= height
