Описание: Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydroelectric power or hydropower. Hydropower is electricity generated using the energy of moving water. Rain or melted snow, usually originating in hills and mountains, create streams and rivers that eventually run to the ocean. The energy of that moving water can be substantial, as anyone who has been whitewater rafting knows. This energy has been exploited for centuries. Since ancient times, hydropower from many kinds of watermills has been used as a renewable energy source for irrigation and the operation of various mechanical devices, such as gristmills, sawmills, textile mills, trip hammers, dock cranes, domestic lifts, and ore mills. A trompe, which produces compressed air from falling water, is sometimes used to power other machinery at a distance. In the late 19th century, hydropower became a source for generating electricity. Hydroelectric energy is the most widely used form of renewable energy, accounting for 16 percent of global electricity consumption. Hydropower is the cheapest way to generate electricity today. Thats because once a dam has been built and the equipment installed, the energy source -- flowing water -- is free. Its a clean fuel source that is renewable yearly by snow and rainfall. Hydropower is also readily available; engineers can control the flow of water through the turbines to produce electricity on demand. This book emphasises on theoretical and applied results acquired by the authors in the course of a long time of practice devoted to problems in the design and operation of a substantial number of hydroelectric power plants. The book covers all the foremost components of a hydro power plant, from the upstream end, with the basin for water intake, to the downstream end of the water flow outlet.

Описание: The critical introduction to this Broadview Edition gives particular emphasis to Wells`s hostility towards religion as well as his thorough knowledge of the Darwinian thought of his time. Appendices provide passages from Darwin and Huxley related to Wells`s early writing; in addition, excerpts from other writers illustrate late-nineteenth-century anxieties about social degeneration.

Описание: Small hydropower is increasingly important on a global level, and the possibility of local power generation could considerably improve living conditions in rural areas in developing countries. This thesis presents a numerical modelling approach to improve the design of low-cost machines like water wheels for increased hydraulic efficiency. Using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach, it explores effects of blade geometry, optimal wheel-width to channel-width ratio and channel bed conditions upstream and downstream to improve performance. With a power rating in the low kilowatt range, low-head hydropower machines seem to have a clear potential for small-scale energy generation.

Описание: Hydropower is the energy derived from water that is falling or fast-running. It is a type of renewable energy. There are four types of hydropower, namely, run-of-river hydropower, storage hydropower, pumped-storage hydropower and offshore hydropower. Devices such as trompe and watermill run on hydropower. The electricity produced by hydropower is known as hydroelectricity. It can also be used to store potential energy between two reservoirs. Hydroelectric power plants, which include reservoir, are used to exploit the energy of falling water. Hydropower can be used for irrigation and operations such as carried out dock cranes, gristmills, textile mills, ore mills, etc. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of hydropower. It elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary approach. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.

Описание: For decades, large dam projects have been undertaken by both nations and international agencies with the aim of doing good: preventing floods, bringing electricity to rural populations, producing revenues for poor countries, and more. But time after time, the social, economic, and environmental costs have outweighed the benefits of the dams, sometimes to a disastrous degree. In this volume, a diverse group of experts—involved for years with the Nam Theun 2 dam in Laos—issue an urgent call for critical reassessment of the approach to, and rationale for, these kinds of large infrastructure projects in developing countries.In the 2000s, as the World Bank was reeling from revelations of past hydropower failures, it nonetheless promoted the enormous Nam Theun 2 project. NT2, the Bank believed, offered a new, wiser model of dam development that would alleviate poverty, protect the environment, engage locally affected people in a transparent fashion, and stimulate political transformation. This was a tall order. For the first time, this book shows in detail why, despite assertions of success from the World Bank and other agencies involved in the project, the dam's true story has been one of substantial loss for affected villagers and the regional environment. Nam Theun 2 is an important case study that illustrates much broader problems of global development policy.
