Guess the following words:

_u_bi_e_
A device that harnesses the kinetic energy of some
fluid - such as water, steam, air, or combustion gases -
and turns this into the rotational motion of the device
itself.

 What is Hydroelectric Power?
Hydroelectric power (hydropower) is derived
from the energy of falling or moving water to
generate electricity. Among other purposes,
water is widely used to produce electricity.
Hydropower is a proven, mature, predictable,
and price competitive technology.
 What is Hydroelectric Power?
A number of on- and off-grid hydropower
plants have been built throughout the country,
including impounding dams and run-of-river
types. Impounding dams are able to supply
energy during peak and off-peak hours while
run-of-river types supply electricity whenever
capable, depending on the volume of water that
is discharged from the watersheds.
 What is Hydroelectric Power?
A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling
water into mechanical energy. Then a generator
converts the mechanical energy from the
turbine into electrical energy. The generator
power is stepped up to a higher voltage from
the substation, and then exported for
transmission.
Hydropower provides benefits
beyond electricity generation by
providing flood control, irrigation
support, and clean drinking
water. Hydropower is affordable.
Hydropower provides low-cost
electricity and durability over time
compared to other sources of
energy.
 Some of the operational hydroelectric
power plants in the Philippines are:

1. Palakpakin Hydroelectric Power Plant in San Pablo, Laguna

2. Balugbog Hydroelectric Power Plant in Narcarlan, Laguna

3. Cantingas Hydroelectric Power Plant in San Fernando,

Romblon
Advantages of Hydroelectric power
1.It provides low cost electricity and durability
over time compared to other sources of energy.
2. Pollution free
3.Renewable
4.Reliable
5.Provide low cost electricity and durability
ability over time compared to other sources of
energy.
Disadvantages of Hydroelectric
power
1. It has an environmental Impact. Perhaps the
largest disadvantage of hydroelectric energy is
the impact it can have on the environment
2.There are limited reservoir.
3. It’s not always safe.
