This is a 3-hour course about hydro-electric power plants. Hydroelectric power is the largest renewable energy source in use today. There are several types of hydroelectric power plants from impoundment facilities with dams and large reservoirs to marine energy systems that use the ebb and flow of ocean tides to generate power.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the types of conventional hydroelectric power plants.
- Explain how marine energy systems work.
- Describe the hydrologic cycle.
- Distinguish among the different types of hydroturbines.
- Compare reaction and impulse turbines.
- Calculate the potential hydroelectric energy available from a resource.
- Explain the benefits of pumped-storage hydroelectric plants.
- Compare the advantages and disadvantages of hydroelectric power.
