Hydroelectric Energy Source
1. Is the Energy Source classified as non renewable, renewable or inexhaustible ?
Hydroelectric is classified as a Inexhaustible energy source.
2. How is the energy source made usable?
Hydroelectric power is made usable by the flow of water spinning a turbine which activates a generator creating electricity.
3. What are the infrastructure requirements for utilizing this energy source?
The requirements for utilizing hydroelectric power is a dam, water flow, a spinning turbine, and a generator.
4. What emerging technologies will make this energy source safer, more usable, more efficient, cleaner...etc?
The emerging technologies can make hydroelectric power more efficient by altering the technology to serve lower loads and higher peaks. Also the plants can adjust speed drives also altering the ability to meet different kinds of demands, including more rapid response. This change could increase income by 85%. Also expanding the operating range of the plant can increase income by 61%.
