Hydroelectric Power By: Taylor, Justin, and Darby
What is hydroelectric power? Hydropower or hydroelectricity refers to the conversion of energy from flowing water into electricity.
Hydroelectric Power Advantages Disadvantages Affected by drought Expensive to build hydroelectric plants Affect the ecosystem of body of water Methane emitted to the atmosphere Lower water quality Provides clean renewable energy Can be used as long as the water cycle the continues Once started more affordable Dams act as flood control
Primary Source: Water
Method of Processing the Power
80-90% Sankey Diagram mg h
Why hydropower? Effective and efficient compared to other renewable sources Produce clean energy Continuous as long as there is a water cycle Expensive to build, but cheap to maintain Flood control Most of the disadvantages can be fixed
