Two different studies have highlighted the potential and challenges of low-head pumped hydro storage (PHS), which has so far never been implemented in real projects. Different main areas were ...

Archimedes screw turbines and generators have emerged as robust, low-head hydropower solutions that exploit the kinetic energy of low-volume water flows. By reversing the traditional Archimedes screw ...

This enabled a cost-effective and light-weight solution when compared with the previous metallic turbine blade design. Based on the complex-shaped hydro-dynamically designed geometry, a method to ...

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 ...

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A water turbine is a rotating machine that converts mechanical energy of water to electrical work through the process of turbine rotation. The device rotates and the rotating ...

Nearly 100 pre-application documents and proposals have been filed for conventional hydro and alternative hydrokinetic projects along the Mississippi Sign up here. One of the nation's untapped ...
