Hydropower is the world's largest source of renewable energy and plays an important role in transitioning electric grids to clean energy. Did you know that hydropower can support the integration of wind and solar generation in several ways? Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) is a mature grid-scale storage technology and the most reliable for long-duration energy storage. During low-demand periods, excess solar and wind electricity can be used to pump water from a lower to an upper reservoir, providing up to eight hours of backup energy. This technology supports grid reliability and resilience, especially during extreme weather when backup energy is crucial. Excited to see how Vexcel Data Program can improve planning and site selection as groups work towards building a sustainable future. #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #WorldWaterDay

Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy source generated by harnessing the power of flowing water. It involves converting the kinetic energy of moving water into electricity through turbines connected to generators. Dams, rivers, and even ocean tides are used to create this energy, providing clean and sustainable power with minimal environmental impact. It's one of the oldest and most widely used forms of renewable energy globally.The amount of current produced by hydroelectricity varies widely depending on the size and capacity of the hydroelectric power plant. Small-scale installations might generate a few megawatts, while large-scale facilities can produce hundreds or even thousands of megawatts of electricity. Is hydroelectricity usefull nowadays? Absolutely! Hydroelectricity remains a crucial and valuable source of renewable energy today. It's reliable, cost-effective, and produces electricity without emitting greenhouse gases, contributing significantly to global electricity generation. Despite advancements in other renewable sources, hydroelectricity continues to be a vital part of the energy mix in many countries around the world. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

The International Energy Agency (IEA) released their report, "The Breakthrough Agenda Report 2023" ⚡ 🌎 A key section in the report describes the importance of retrofitting and repurposing hydropower projects which can provide a significant boost in clean energy generation: "Though probably the most mature renewable technology, existing hydropower has typically been in operation for 30-50 years, which means its ageing fleet requires modernisation to meet ever-evolving power system needs... This can build on the work done by the IHA, comprising members from the private sector across 120 countries." Read here: https://lnkd.in/et-emi3s #WithHydropower

Deliver solutions & saving of water and energy for the Food & Beverage industries at Xylem Water Solutions, Business Development Manager *EEX, *EEC countries
Have you thought that even small scale waterflows can be harvested for #greenenergy with small #Flygt #hydroturbine? This application is perhaps underestimated in the shadow of the #solarenergy and #windpower
Transforming abandoned structures into renewable energy sources! In collaboration with Berea College and Xylem's Flygt turbines, Appalachian Hydro Associates is lighting up Kentucky with a new small hydroelectric plant. Producing an impressive 500 kW per turbine, this project showcases the potential of small, low-head dams in renewable energy. Curious to know more?

Elastomers play an important role in renewable energy sources. In wind turbines, elastomers support the rotors of generators and absorb vibration. They are also used in mounting systems in solar panels and as waterproof seals in hydropower plants. Their flexibility and durability improve the long-term performance and efficiency of renewable energy plants. Elastomers have become a preferred and indispensable material in the renewable energy sector. #RenewableElastomers #EnergyFlexibility #SustainableRubber #RenewableTech #EcoElastomers #GreenEnergyMaterials

To really see the potential of pumped storage principles, it's time to think beyond the dam. You don't need some massive chunk of concrete as is so typically pictured in these kinds of discussions. You just need reservoirs at different elevations and appropriately sized conduits connecting them. There is also nothing that prevents those reservoirs and conduits from being applied to a myriad of other uses like fire protection, drainage, water distribution, transportation, or as part of district heating systems to name a few...

Pumped storage hydropower could be key to meeting our clean energy needs! With two reservoirs that store energy, this system allows excess energy to be used to pump water up into a higher reservoir. When the grid requires more energy, the water is released and flows down, generating clean electricity. Daniel Inman, a researcher at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, believes that this is a promising solution to our energy storage challenge.

"I can stabilize the grid, cut carbon emissions, and save you money." — Energy Flexibility The IEA states that due to fluctuating renewable energy sources net-zero electricity systems require four times the flexibility of conventional systems. German TSOs project that control reserve demand will more than double by 2030. With the decommissioning of many conventional flexibility sources, particularly thermal power plants, new sources of energy flexibility are essential. Solutions like #Batteries, #PowerToHeat, #Electrolysis, #EVcharging, flexible biogas/hydrogen CHPs, flexible industrial processes, and even PV and wind power will play a critical role. #EnergyFlexibility #DemandResponse #Sustainability #NetZero #Electrification

As the world shifts to low-carbon energy solutions, a reminder: #hydropower is the world’s oldest form and largest source of clean, renewable energy. It’s also an innovative solution. #DidYouKnow that tapping 10% of the energy potential in waves, tides, and currents could match nearly 6% of America’s energy consumption? Or that pumped storage creates critical energy reserves for our electricity grid? We’ve served the hydropower industry for 40+ years. Our experience totals more than 500 projects and 79,000 MW of installed capacity including conventional and #MarineEnergy, #PumpedStorage, and #SmallHydro projects. Knowing all that hydro powers – clean #renewableenergy plus a reliable grid, water security, community amenities, jobs, and more – we proudly celebrate #HydroDay. National Hydropower Association
