1
Hydroelectric power Yul van der Stap
2
What is… Hydroelectric power power generated through the energy of flowing water
3
History
4
Fox river in Appelton, Wisconsin
5
History
6
Dam
7
Energy transformation
8
Formula PE=pghV P=ηρghQ For 1m^3/sec from head of 1m, P=9 kW, if η 90%
9
Advantages & disadvantages Dam + Constant rate of electricity production Long durability Lake can be used as irrigation purpose Leisure area - High cost of construction Destruction of environment Alter of natural water table level.
10
Run of river
11
Energy transformation
12
Formula Pmax =½ηρQv 2 Q=Av Pmax =1/2ηρAv 3 if 1m 3 of water flows 1ms -1 with 100% efficiency, P=0.5kW
13
Advantages & disadvantages Run of River + Avoids the need to build large dams to store water projects will operate anywhere between 65% to 90% of the time in any given year Low potential risk of water quality Has minimal impact on environment - Low production rate Low availability
14
Tidal flows
15
Transformation KE (water) KE (turbine) Electricity (generator)
16
Formula Pmax =1/2ηρAv 3 if 1m 3 of water flows 1ms -1 with 100% efficiency, P=0.4kW
17
Advantages & disadvantages tidal flow + Can harness until sun and moon exist Efficiency of 80% Predictability Protection of coastal area - High construction cost Effective only 10hrs /day Environmental damage
