Blocked passages for fish and turbine-induced mortality of downstream migrating fish are major environmental issues for hydropower projects. Direct spillage is one method to protect downstream fish ...

The theory behind hydropower is very simple: water obeys gravity and imparts the gained kinetic energy onto a turbine, which subsequently drives a generator.  The devil here is, of course, in all ...

Despite renewable energy benefits, traditional hydropower methods have been criticized for disrupting ecosystems and harming aquatic life. Natel Energy, a US company specializing in hydro turbines, ...

Digital condition monitoring is transforming hydropower O&M with AI-driven diagnostics, hybrid architectures, and predictive ...

The Cloverland Electric Cooperative Plant sits parallel to the St. Marys River in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Built at the turn of the last century, the plant receives water from a canal that was cut ...

Natel Energy is trying to design turbines that are safer for fish passing through. Hydropower is the world’s leading source of renewable electricity, generating more power in 2022 than all other ...

Hydroelectric power generation hit a 10-year high in Europe in 2024, while hydro growth in other regions—most notably China—kept the technology at the top of the list when it comes to global energy ...

Water leaking into an aging and shuttered city hydro-electric generating facility at the O'Shaughnessy Dam, near the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and other construction issues have put a city project to ...

23 March 2004 – GE Energy has received a contract of $7.8m to supply three turbine-generator sets for the Liuhong Hydropower Station, a new facility to be built on the Meigu River in Sichuan Province, ...

This remarkable project promises to open up zero-carbon energy storage to a broad range of areas without huge hills, delivering 2.5 times the power of water-based hydro. A pilot plant has been ...
