Waterfall, electricity generation

Hydroelectric Plant An electric generating plant in which the turbine generators are driven by falling water, typically located at a dam or major waterfall. [Pg.20]

An electric generator coupled to a waterfall produces an average electric power output of 5 kW. The power is used to charge a storage battery. Heat transfer from the battery occurs at a... [Pg.122]

A hydroelectric power station generating electricity from a waterfall requires the flow from an entire river. A coal-fired power station generating electricity from steam requires a small water rate that could flow through a 12-inch pipe. The hydroelectric station is only using the potential energy of the water that has been converted to velocity. The thermal power station is using the heat content of the steam that has been converted to velocity. [Pg.238]
