    Here is a bit of information most do not know. Modern turbines only operate at 15% efficiency when you include accelerated mass in the formula. That means a new design that does not require accelerated mass could produce six times more electricity! Imagine that!!

      You can combine them: Wind and solar backed-up with flexible hydroelectric. That way you get multiples of the amount of green electricity without intermittency.

  • @ppuh6tfrz646
    @ppuh6tfrz646 10 месяцев назад +1

    I assume that the water is constantly flowing through the turbines to generate electricity.
    But it isn't sometimes necessary to control the amount of water flowing which therefore reduces the amount of electricity being generated?

  • @prototropo
    @prototropo Год назад +9

    I'm guessing the water is pumped back up into the reservoir only to store excess power in low-demand hours as pressure, for use in later high-demand hours?
    I don't believe this was explained thoroughly. The narration sounds as though it is just a lot of fun to pump water everywhere! But no--there are reasons for which the viewers are waiting, in suspense; because a rational plan is something for which the French are deservedly famous.

    • @Ironic1950

    9:41 instead of drilling the holes, and put explosives in it, is it not faster, easier and cheaper to use something like shaped charge, much of them at the same time? Maybe even something like tandem heads? The front charges make much holes, second charges destroy the rest of rock?

    Not far, about 12 miles to the south west is the glider center of La Motte Du Caire, Launched by a winch, it is easy to fly there and see the dam (buit in 1955) and the lake stretching to the north east, with a little church remaining above lake level.
    Other villages reachable in the sailplanes is to fly towards the East, to Barcelonete close to the border of Italy.

  • @Gabcikovo

    I also appreciate that you shared this on the anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine because this year when I wrote to NATO about Gabčíkovo water dam and Jozef Gabčík, the next day Kakhovka dam in Ukraine blew up and when Zelensky came to ask Ĉaputová, the president of Slovakia about Gabčíkovo, the clean energy hydroelectric power plant, she lied to him its called Vojany, the black coal-fired powerplant polluting the world, and he didn't correct her. Thus the wrong message was communicated to the world. I'm a cousin of Andrea Brezanová, born Daubnerová, who was elected as the vice-president of the budget committee of the OECD in 2015 and 2017, while it was my Grandpa Anton Jablonský, the head of the project centre at Hydroconsult in charge of the Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros barrage system, who represented Czechoslovakia in COMECON (equivalent of OECD). And I'm here to tell you that what's going on is éry, very wrong and dangerous for Europe and the world

    I am glad that they can reverse the flow, because they might someday use solar panels to do the pumping. (There could be a lot of sun at an elevation above the clouds!) In the meantime they will have good long term grid storage.

      They will pump only when there is too much power in the network. Its lost of energy itself but increase stability of the system. I feel it was omitted on purpose to make the narrative more sensational. Its all old technique, just bigger.

    Big deal! Do yourself a favour and take a look at the Australian Hydro Electric Scheme built 50 years ago. Much much bigger! At the time in 1972 it cost AU$820m. Massive turbines on multiple levels. A virtual city had to be built first and entire mountains moved. And in those days they didn’t have all the fancy equipment of today.

Typical French as$$ backwards illogical words, why TF they can't just call it a dam like everyone else I don't know.
