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

Scale of Hydropower Projects Large-hydro
More than 100 MW feeding into a large electricity grid Medium-hydro
15 - 100 MW usually feeding a grid Small-hydro
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
Micro-hydro From 5kW up to 100 kW Usually provided power for a small community or rural industry 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

Types of Systems Impoundment

Niagara Falls Most significantly smaller
Pumped Storage Two way flow Pumped up to a storage reservoir and returned
to a lower elevation for power generation A mechanism for energy storage, not net energy

Two 162 MW units Purpose – energy storage
Water pumped uphill at night Low usage – excess base load capacity
Water flows downhill during day/peak periods Helps Xcel to meet surge demand
E.g., air conditioning demand on hot summer days Typical efficiency of 70 – 85%

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

Construction cost of ~$20 million Negligible ongoing costs Ancillary benefits from dam
flood control, recreation, irrigation, etc. 50 MW combined-cycle gas turbine

Ecological Impacts Loss of forests, wildlife habitat, species Degradation of upstream catchments areas due to
inundation of reservoir area Rotting vegetation also emits greenhouse gases Loss of aquatic biodiversity, fisheries, other
downstream services Cumulative impacts on water quality, natural flooding Disrupt transfer of energy, sediment, nutrients Sedimentation reduces reservoir life, erodes turbines
Creation of new wetland habitat Fishing and recreational opportunities provided by new
reservoirs

Hydropower – Pros and ConsPositive NegativeEmissions-free, with virtually no CO2, NOX, SOX, hydrocarbons, or particulates
Frequently involves impoundment of large amounts of water with loss of habitat due to land inundation
Renewable resource with high conversion efficiency to electricity (80+%)
Variable output – dependent on rainfall and snowfall
Dispatchable with storage capacity Impacts on river flows and aquatic ecology, including fish migration and oxygen depletion
Usable for base load, peaking and pumped storage applications
Social impacts of displacing indigenous people
Scalable from 10 KW to 20,000 MW Health impacts in developing countries
Low operating and maintenance costs High initial capital costs
Long lifetimes Long lead time in construction of large projects

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
