The Pumped Storage Hydropower Plants: This configuration features two water reservoirs at different elevations. As water moves down through a turbine, it generates power. Interestingly, it also acts as a 'battery' by pumping water back to the upper reservoir during low-demand periods. #KenGenHydroEnergy #GreenEnergyKE ^TK

Check out our article on why hydropower efficiency testing matters and how it can help hydropower owners secure funding by Dan Parker and Dan Gessler from our March issue. https://bit.ly/4ai54aB #HydropowerEfficiency #FundingSecurity #HydropowerTesting #RenewableEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #HydropowerOwners

Reading the smoke signals Last week we demonstrated declining reservoir levels caused by El Niño and showed the consequences for hydropower generation. We also briefly mentioned what was taking up the slack. Here, we go into that in more, graphic, detail. Guess what? Petro-despised fossil fuel-generated power rises to fill the gap. The matrix The lead graph tells the whole story. We consolidate XM’s daily generation data by “resource” or source or plant if you will giving daily generation by technology group. Here we also consolidate “Self-generation” and “Dispatched” or centrally managed or “Utility” (if you will) and any other subcategories to get the major technology types. We take a 7-day Moving Average (aka MA(7)) because the weekly “seasonality” is quite pronounced and the eye tends to be drawn to that movement instead of what we want to talk about: the shift between categories... #renewableenergy #renewablenergy #renewablepower #energyindustry #epowercolombia #energy

SWPA hydropower helps during the dog days of summer, when high temperatures and humidity mean increased use of air conditioning and a surge in electrical demand. Hydropower generators can respond quickly to meet this demand, often starting up and coming online to produce power in mere minutes. Now that's cool! #hydropower #swpa #summer

August 24th is National Hydropower Day. Now is a great time to think about the value of hydropower as we work towards a future with a clean, renewable grid. #hydropower #lowimpacthydropower #kansasriver

Column: Water is life. It’s also #energy — whether you like dams or hate them #California #hydroMatters "We’ll have a better sense of the hydropower outlook in a few weeks, when the state Department of Water Resources conducts its much-watched April 1 snow survey (actually scheduled for April 2 this year). But water storage in California’s major reservoirs was at 117% of average on Wednesday, with statewide snowpack at 105% of normal. Those numbers bode well for energy generation at Oroville Dam, Shasta Dam and the state’s other #hydroelectric behemoths" #hydro #hydroPower #energyTransition https://lnkd.in/eVmCfvbR

If we want to decarbonize our economy fairly and equitably, we need to make the most of our existing clean and affordable hydropower resources.  #hydropower #renewableenergy #decarbonize
