Solar energy heats water >> Water vapor
DEFINITION A form of energy that harnesses
Producing flour from
grain and sawing
timber and stone,
raised water into
irrigation canals
Driving the bellows in
small blast furnaces
and extraction of metal
ores in a method known
as hushing
Using the existing dam
infrastructure, utilities use
hydro power to store
energy which is known as
“pumped hydro storage”
Noramira Athirah
condenses into clouds and falls as precipitation SOURCES
the power of water in motion to >> Precipitation collects in streams and rivers,
generate electricity which empty into oceans and lakes
DAM
APPLICATIONS THEORY
AGRICULTURE Raises the water level of
the river to create falling
water and controls the flow
HYDRO of water. The reservoir that
is formed is, in effect,
ENERGY stored energy TURBINE
INDUSTRY
The force of falling water
pushing against the turbine's
blades causes the turbine to
Continually produce Do not produce
STORING spin. A water turbine is much
high levels of energy pollution. Clean like a windmill. the turbine
even with changing energy source converts the kinetic energy to
conditions GENERATOR mechanical energy
BENEFITS
GREEN Connected to turbine by
RELIABLE
shafts and gears so
when the turbine spins it
causes the generator to
spin and converts the
mechanical energy to TRANSMISSION
electric energy
SAFE RENEWABLE LINES
Very safe and does Provide a renewable
not create pollutions source of energy in a Conduct electricity from
or dangers time increasing the hydropower plant to
demand for energy homes and business
