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 ...

Fish could soon be migrating downstream with greater safety and in greater numbers because of a new hydro turbines design developed by Alden Research Laboratory and Concepts/NREC. Design of the new ...

Fifteen percent of the world’s electrical energy comes from hydropower, making it the leading source of renewable energy. But ...

Water leaking into an aging and shuttered city hydro-electric generating facility at the O'Shaughnessy Dam, near the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and other construction issues have put a city project to ...

Last year, despite the growing global demand for energy, countries began to report record levels of energy-dumping, or ...

Despite renewable energy benefits, traditional hydropower methods have been criticized for disrupting ecosystems and harming aquatic life. Natel Energy, a US company specializing in hydro turbines, ...

The city of Tualatin is installing a new micro hydro turbine it said will save money and boost the city's energy resilience. The turbine is replacing an existing valve which reduces pressure in the ...

Acque SpA has selected IREM SpA to supply its first hydroelectric turbine, marking the utility’s entry into small-scale ...

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 ...

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 ...
