HYDROELECTRICITY

- is electricity produced from hydropower.

HOW IT WORKS ? Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.


HOW IT WORKS ?


HISTORY The history of hydropower started over 2000 years ago, when water wheels were being used by the ancient Greeks to grind grain. It was not until the Middle Ages that the technology was spread to Europe. Hydroelectric power was also important during the industrial revolution at the beginning of the 1800’s and provided mechanical power for textile and machine industries. The most important year in hydropower history was in 1831 when the first electric generator was invented by Michael Faraday. This laid the foundation for us to learn how to generate electricity with hydropower almost half a century later, in 1878.


HISTORY The first hydroelectric power plant, located in Appleton, Wisconsin, began to generate electricity already in 1882. The power output was at about 12.5 kW. 7 years later, in 1889, the total number of hydroelectric power plant solely in the US had reached 200.

In the 19th century, these power plants got an increased amount of commercial attention and was built rapidly in suitable areas all over the world. 1936 marks an important year – the largest hydroelectric power plant, the Hoover Dam, was opened and generated 1345 MW (installed capacity later increased 2080MW) from the flowing water in the Colorado River.


HISTORY During the first half of the 1900’s hydropower became the world’s most important source of electricity.

In 2008, Three Gorges Dam in China was built. This is the largest power plant at current date, generating 22.500 MW, adding to China’s installed hydroelectric capacity of 196.79 GW (2009).

PROBLEMS • UPSTREAM FLOODING, DESTRUCTION OF AGRICULTURAL AREAS AND ANIMAL HABITAT AND DISRUPTION OF COMMUNITIES IN AFFECTED AREAS HAVE AFFECTED THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF LARGE HYDROPOWER PROJECTS IN THE COUNTRY. • HIGH UPFRONT COST • CHALLENGES OF PRODUCING INDIGENOUS SOURCE OF FUEL IN WAYS THAT WOULD NOT HARM THE ENVIRONMENT.


SOLUTIONS • PROVIDING AWARENESS ON THE STATE OF PHILIPPINE HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENTS, INNOVATIVE ENGINEERING DESIGNS, TRENDS AND EMERGING RELATED TECHNOLOGIES, LESSONS AS WELL AS BEST PRACTICES TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT. • TO BUILD AND TO DEVELOP MINI-HYDROPOWER PLANTS IN SOME PARTS OF THE PHILIPPINES
