How the water can do energy?

THE HYDRAULIC ENERGY

The hydraulic energy is a Primary, Renewable and Traditional energy.

There are lots of ways to do energy with the water but we are going to explain all about the hydraulic energy. Hydraulic energy is a renewable energy source that is obtained from freshwater currents. You can take advantage of the mechanical energy of the movement of water from horizontal currents, or also in falls of water, in vertical.

ADVANTATGES AND PROBLEMS

Now we are going to explain you the positive and negative points of the hydraulic energy.

ADVANTATGES

~· It is a renovable energy, it means that we can't exhaust it.

~· It is a clean energy: It doesn't contaminate the planet.

~·Is a secure energy, the fossil energy is not so secure as the hydraulic one.

PROBLEMS

~·The droughts. If there is no water because of the droughts; we can't create energy of the water.

~·There aren't so much hydreoelectical centrals, so we don't make so much energy.

~·It's impossible to always make energy. When the water falls once, it can't fall twice at the same central, so we can't reuse the water that we just used.

How it works?

 HYDROELECTRICAL CENTER
Hydroelectric plants capture the energy that this water transports with the aim of transforming it into electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of the water that is moving, in mechanics and, finally, the generator is responsible for transforming it from the turbine into electrical energy for the consumption of the population, either in homes or in small, medium or large Business.

PARTS OF THE HYDROPOWER PLANT



~~~~HYDRAULIC PRESS~~~~
 Most hydroelectric power stations depend on a dam that holds water, creating a large reserve. Often, this reserve is used as a recreational lake, such as Lake Roosevelt at the Grand Coulee Dam in Washington State.                                                                  

~~~~ENTRANCE~~~~
When the doors open gravity pushes the water through the gate, a pipe that leads to the turbine. Water accumulates tension as it passes through the pipeline.

~~~~TURBINE~~~~
The water hits and rotates the large blades of a turbine, which is attached to the generator above it, by means of an axle. The most common type of turbine for hydroelectric power plants is known as "Francis Turbine", which looks like a giant disk with curved blades.    

~~~~GENERATORS~~~~
Inside the generator there is a series of magnets, which help the turbine blades turn. The giant magnets due to copper turbines, producing an alternating current (AC) by the movement of electrons.  


~~~~TRANSFORMATOR~~~~
The transformer that is inside the power plant takes the alternating current and converts it into high voltage current.

~~~~ELECTRIC LINES~~~~
From each power plant come four cables responsible for transmitting the electricity generated.

-------EXIT-------
The water that has been used and carried through all the pipes returns to flow into the torrent of the river.
