Blocked passages for fish and turbine-induced mortality of downstream migrating fish are major environmental issues for hydropower projects. Direct spillage is one method to protect downstream fish ...

In this video, we demonstrate the construction of a mini hydroelectric dam as part of a science project. Watch as we detail ...

Voith Hydro in 2022 replaced four vertical Pelton turbines at Verbund’s 75-year-old 326-GWh Gerlos 1 hydropower facility in Austria with a first-of-its-kind horizontal six-nozzle Pelton turbine.

23 March 2004 – GE Energy has received a contract of $7.8m to supply three turbine-generator sets for the Liuhong Hydropower Station, a new facility to be built on the Meigu River in Sichuan Province, ...

Scientists in Australia have proposed to use a a propeller pico-hydropower turbine to recover the energy used for pumping water in a solar-powered commercial building. They have found that the mini ...

In this video, we explore a mini construction project that involves building a miniature hydroelectric dam as part of a science project. #MiniConstruction # ...

The theory behind hydropower is very simple: water obeys gravity and imparts the gained kinetic energy onto a turbine, which subsequently drives a generator. The devil here is, of course, in all the ...

Hydropower remains the world’s third-largest electricity source but is often overlooked despite its vast untapped potential. Its flexibility and storage capacity make it critical for balancing ...

A run-of-river hydro project on the St. Joseph River in downtown South Bend, Indiana, spearheaded by the University of Notre Dame, was one of the first ever in the U.S. to utilize the StreamDiver ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Wisconsin startup Cadens have developed 3D-printed turbines they say can reduce hydropower costs by up to 40% per kilowatt, with the added ability to ...
