Hydropower is characterized, as its name implies, being generated from the movement of water. Requires the construction of turbines which are driven by the flow of water and thereby creating kinetic energy stored within the water plant, in most of the time it takes a river capable of exercising enormous force capable of moving turbine blades in the opposite case it is necessary to create a dam or to divert the river to increase its rate of fall or movimiento.Hay to consider this type of plants are a major damage to the environment because the river must have a minimum amount or multicellular beings are capable of killing them, while changing the course of the river affects the surrounding ecosystems and sometimes if the speed is insufficient is not capable of creating energía.Con lot about the separation of water molecules is not altered at all and what is required is your speed, the only molecules are constantly interacting the energy obtained.
countries where they constitute a source of electricity such important are Norway (99%), Zaire (97%) and Brazil (96%). The plant Itaipu on the Parana River, is located between Brazil and Paraguay, was opened in 1982 and has the largest generating capacity in the world. For reference, the Grand Coulee Dam in the United States generates about 6500 MW and is one of the largest.
Note the new hydroelectric plant of the Three Gorges on the Yangtze River, China. The characteristics of this large dam will be monstrous, and the reservoir, an area of \u200b\u200b576km2., In which stored 39,300 million cubic meters of water, equivalent to 76% of the total capacity of all the English reservoirs, displacing more than a million people.
Conclusion: Thanks to the advanced technology we have in Spain to produce electrical energy through the potential energy of rivers and lakes that exist throughout our country, has made a great contribution to the English economy, as has also helped improve the quality of life that man has in this long and narrow strip of land. Be important to add that 25% of electricity coming into our homes and various industries, are fed by hydroelectric power which transforms the potential energy of water to generate electricity.
