    The largest hydroelectric plant in the United States is at Grand Coulee Dam. Its three powerplants have a capacity of 6,809 MW, and it generates, on average, about 21 billion KWh, while Hoover Dam's powerplant has a capacity of 2,074 MW and generates approximately 4 billion KWh a year.

    Hydropower… Hydropower, or hydroelectricity refers to the conversion of energy from flowing water into electricity. It is considered a renewable energy source because he water cycle is constantly renewed by the sun. One of the first uses of hydro-energy was for mechanical milling, such as grinding grains. But today, modern hydro plants produce electricity using turbines and generators. The mechanical energy created by moving water spins rotors on a turbine. This turbine is connected to an electromagnetic generator which produces electricity when the turbine spins. There are two main type of hydroelectricity production. Dams and run of river. Hydro dams utilize the potential energy from damned water to produce electricity. A dam is a large barrier constructed to raise the level of water and control it’s flow. The elevation created by the dam creates gravitational force for turning the turbine when water is released. Some dam also contain an additional reservoir at their base where water is stored to be pumped to the higher reservoir for release when eletricity is in demand. This is referred to a pumped stored hydro. The second form of hydroelectricity production is run of river hydro. Run of river still uses turbines and generators but relies on natural water flow rates of rivers, diverting just a portion of the water through turbines. Because run of river hydro is subject to natural water variability, it is mort intermittent than dammed hydro. There are various of hydro plants that produces electricity. Large hydro, greater than 30 megawatts. Small hydro, 100 kilowatts to 30 megawatts. And micro hydro, less than 100 kilowatts. The Hoover Dam in the United States is a whopping 2074 megawatts, which is enough to serve 1.3 million people. Of all renewable energy sources, hydropower holds largest share of worldwide electricity production. Hydropower has several benefits. It is a cost competitive form of electricity. Even though the initial building cost can be high. It is quite reliable compared to other renewable options and pairs well with other sources as it can be used as base load power. In some cases, dammed reservoirs can also help with flood control and be a reliable supply for communities. There are also some concerns with hydroelectricity, especially when it comes to large dams. Damming a river has a major impact on the local environment, changing wildlife habitat, blocking fish passage and often forcing people in riverside communities to move out of their homes. In addition, dam failures can be catastrophic claiming the lives of those living downstream. Hydroplants are also not completely free of greenhouse gas emissions. As with most form of energy carbon dioxide emissions happen during construction, particularly due to the large quantity of cement used. And plant matter in the flooded areas makes methane another greenhouse gas, as it decays underwater. That’s hydropower.

    I work in a company where they told me that for the hpp is best if it works on maximum power according to the level of accumulation but if we put it to work for less power it will still use almost the same amount of water. Is that true?
