Description
This application computes hydroelectric turbine power based on the given height and volumetric flow rate. Flow rate can be deduced from cross-sectional area and flow velocity. Run-of-river hydroelectric plants typically exhibit a 90 percent efficiency factor, while pumped-storage hydroelectric plants operate at about 80 percent efficiency. It's important to note that water density experiences slight fluctuations due to temperature variations. The effective usable height for descent is slightly less than the actual vertical difference. The volumetric flow rate indicates the cubic meters of water propelling the turbine per second. Please input the height along with either the volumetric flow rate or the cross-sectional area and flow velocity. The resulting power will be displayed in your chosen unit of measurement.
Hydroelectric power plants stand as a sustainable means of energy production, contributing to the realm of renewable energies. These plants often require minimal disruptions to the environment, particularly run-of-river power installations. A challenge arises from the existing presence of such plants on numerous rivers, leaving limited space for the construction of new facilities.
The concept of hydroelectric power dates back over 5,000 years, with water wheels propelling mills and being employed by ancient Chinese and Sumerian civilizations in Mesopotamia. The fundamental principle remains unchanged to this day: water flows downhill, relinquishing energy in the process, which can be harnessed for practical use. The water wheel or turbine is set in motion, impeding the water's progress somewhat. However, as the water typically continues its downhill journey beyond the power station, it swiftly regains its initial speed.
