Hydropower History
Hydropower used by the Greeks to turn water
wheels for grinding wheat into flour, more than
2,000 years ago.
Mid-1770s -- French hydraulic and military
engineer Bernard Forest de Bélidor wrote
Architecture Hydraulique, a four-volume work
describing vertical- and horizontal-axis machines.

Hydropower Fundamentals
Kinetic-type primer movers
“Water Wheels”
Extract energy from stream-flow
Head or Pressure-type Prime Movers
High (inlet) Elevation – Low (discharge) Elevation =
“Head”
PSI(pressure) = Feet of Water (head) X 0.433
“A pint’s a pound the world around.”
1 Ft3 = 7.48 gallons; 1 gallon = 8.34 pounds
8.34 lbs/gal x 7.48 gal/ft3 x 1 ft2 / 144 in2 = 0.433

Hydro Plant Sizes
Large Hydropower
Although definitions vary, DOE defines large
hydropower as a capacity of more than 30 MW.
Small Hydropower
Although definitions vary, DOE defines small
hydropower as a capacity of 100 KW to 30 MW.
Micro Hydropower
A micro hydropower plant has a capacity of up to 100
kilowatts. A small or micro-hydroelectric power
system can produce enough electricity for a home,
farm, ranch, or small village.

Ocean Energy
The tidal forces and thermal storage of the
ocean provide a major energy source
Wave action adds to the extractable surface
energy
Major ocean currents (like the Gulf Stream) may
be exploited to extract energy with rotors

Canada: Passamaquoddy in the Bay of Fundy (1935
attempt failed)
California: high potential along the northern coast
Environmental, economic, and esthetic aspects
have delayed implementation

Ocean Energy: Wave Energy
Salter “ducks” rock up and down as the wave
passes beneath it. This oscillating mechanical
energy is converted to electrical energy
A Wavegen, wave-driven, air compressor or
oscillating water column (OWC) spins a two-way
Wells turbine to produce electricity

Ocean Energy: OTEC (Ocean Thermal
Electric Conversion)
OTEC requires some 40°F temperature difference
between the surface and deep waters to extract energy
Open-cycle plants vaporize warm water and condense
it using the cold sea water, yielding potable water and
electricity from turbines-driven alternators
Closed-cycle units evaporate ammonia at 78°F to
drive a turbine and an alternator

Energy from the Earth’s Forces
Winds, waves, tides, and thermal gradients
are renewable energy sources that might be
valuable in some areas.
