Terminology (Jargon) Head
Water must fall from a higher elevation to a lower one to release its stored energy.
The difference between these elevations (the water levels in the forebay and the tailbay) is called head
Dams: three categories high-head (800 or more feet) medium-head (100 to 800 feet) low-head (less than 100 feet)
Power is proportional to the product of head x flow

1 - 15 MW - usually feeding into a grid Mini-hydro
Above 100 kW, but below 1 MW Either stand alone schemes or more often feeding into the grid

in remote areas away from the grid. Pico-hydro
From a few hundred watts up to 5kW Remote areas away from the grid.

Meeting Peak Demands Hydroelectric plants:
Start easily and quickly and change power output rapidly
Complement large thermal plants (coal and nuclear), which are most efficient in serving base power loads.
Save millions of barrels of oil

Efficiency of Hydropower Plants
Hydropower is very efficient Efficiency = (electrical power delivered to the
“busbar”) ÷ (potential energy of head water) Typical losses are due to
Frictional drag and turbulence of flow Friction and magnetic losses in turbine &
generator Overall efficiency ranges from 75-95%

Example 1aConsider a mountain stream with an effective head of
25 meters (m) and a flow rate of 600 liters (ℓ) per minute. How much power could a hydro plant generate? Assume plant efficiency () of 83%.
H = 25 m Q = 600 ℓ/min × 1 m3/1000 ℓ × 1 min/60sec
Q = 0.01 m3/sec = 0.83

Example 1bHow much energy (E) will the hydro plant generate
each year?
E = P×tE = 2.1 kW × 24 hrs/day × 365 days/yrE = 18,396 kWh annually
About how many people will this energy support (assume approximately 3,000 kWh / person)?
People = E÷3000 = 18396/3000 = 6.13 About 6 people

Example 2Consider a second site with an effective head of 100
m and a flow rate of 6,000 cubic meters per second (about that of Niagara Falls). Answer the same questions.
P 10QH = 10(0.83)(6000)(100)P 4.98 million kW = 4.98 GW (gigawatts)
E = P×t = 4.98GW × 24 hrs/day × 365 days/yrE = 43,625 GWh = 43.6 TWh (terrawatt hours)
People = E÷3000 = 43.6 TWh / 3,000 kWhPeople = 1.45 million people
(This assumes maximum power production 24x7)

Summary of Future of Hydropower Untapped U.S. water energy resources are immense Water energy has superior attributes compared to other
renewables: Nationwide accessibility to resources with significant power potential Higher availability = larger capacity factor Small footprint and low visual impact for same capacity
Water energy will be more competitive in the future because of: More streamlined licensing Higher fuel costs State tax incentives State RPSs, green energy mandates, carbon credits New technologies and innovative deployment configurations
Significant added capacity is available at competitive unit costs Relicensing bubble in 2000-2015 will offer opportunities for
capacity increases, but also some decreases Changing hydropower’s image will be a key predictor of future
development trends

Historically… Pumped hydro was first used in Italy and
Switzerland in the 1890's. By 1933 reversible pump-turbines with motor-
generators were available Adjustable speed machines now used to improve
efficiency Pumped hydro is available
at almost any scale with discharge times ranging from several hours to a few days.
Efficiency = 70 – 85%
