Flowing with Energy: The Science of Run-of-River Hydroelectric Systems
Run-of-river hydroelectric systems are a type of hydroelectric power generation technology that harnesses the kinetic energy of flowing water to generate electricity. Unlike traditional hydroelectric dams, run-of-river systems do not require large-scale impoundment of water, which can cause significant environmental impacts such as flooding, habitat destruction, and displacement of communities. Instead, run-of-river systems use a … Read more
