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

Micro hydroelectric power in Sicily: the energy production of early XIX sec. and the future opportunities

CLOSED LOOP, off river PUMPED HYDRO STORAGE with high head heights means that pumped hydro REUSES WATER over and over AGAIN with LITTLE LOSS, doesn’t impact existing rivers and the head height means that the reservoirs are small. Per Stocks, a gigaliter of water with 500 meter head height would provide a gigawatt hour of energy storage with two small reservoirs only a kilometer on a side if square, more ponds than new lakes. https://lnkd.in/dbJWCJQm

More than 4000 hydroelectric dams have been built in the United States since the late 19th century. They range in size from about 100 kW to the mammoth 6809 MW Grand Coulee Dam in the state of Washington. Hydropower represents about six percent of all-time additions to electric generation capacity from all sources. For the first half of the twentieth century, hydropower and coal were the dominant sources of electricity generation.

The situation in the hydropower sector and the power system as of February 9: 🔹 Ukrhydroenergo stations are operating normally, providing the power system with balancing capacities. 🔹The level of electricity consumption has increased due to the cold snap. However, no deficit in the power system is expected. 🔹It is important not to overload the power system, especially during peak consumption hours (from 10:00 to 12:00 and from 16:00 to 19:00). Digest of Ukrhydroenergo's key news for the week: ⚡️🌊Hydropower🌊⚡️ has recovered from the 2022 drought ⚡️🌊Prioritizing the restoration of generating facilities and equipment capacity ⚡️🌊Hydraulic power unit pumps have been put into operation at one of Ukrhydroenergo's stations after reconstruction. ⚡️🌊In February 1962, work began on the foundation pit for the Kyiv PSPP building #HPP #PSPP #Ukrhydroenergo #hydropower #WithHydropower #news #energy #Ukraine

Hydropower, also known as hydroelectricity, harnesses the kinetic energy of flowing water to generate electricity for our homes and businesses. 💧⚡ What are the benefits of hydropower? 1️⃣ Almost 25% of Ontario’s electricity is generated by hydropower. 2️⃣ Hydropower is a clean source of renewable energy!
