Beschreibung:
Hydroelectric plants convert water’s mechanical energy to electric energy. Different designs are used, depending on the natural conditions and form of energy to be used.
The information module first provides a brief explanation of the plant types that primarily use the kinetic energy of water.
• Run-of-river power plant (principle shown with animation)
• Tidal power plant (principle shown with animation)
• Wave power plant (principle shown with animation)
Next come the types of plants that use the potential energy of water:
• Storage power plant (principle shown with graphics)
• Pumped storage plant (principle shown with animation).
Information and ideas:
What do the locations of the different hydroelectric power plants have to do with geography? What would be a good place to build more hydroelectric plants? What is the share of hydropower in the power mix?
