New Hydro River¤
Introduction¤
Hydro power stations can be classified in two main categories: hydro run-of-Hydro River and hydro dam. The main difference between both is whether water can be stored and released in periods of high electricity demand. Hydro run-of-Hydro River is a non dispatchable energy source and it is operated as baseload for power production.
This technology is employed to evaluate new developments in hydroelectricity, excluding consideration of the existing heritage dams.
Refer to Hydro River for more information.
