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 ...

Hydropower projects frequently face resistance from environmental groups for a variety of reasons. One of the more common objections to hydro is the high turbine-induced mortality of fish. The passage ...

One of the distinguishing characteristics of deregulated power markets is variable demand. The ability to operate efficiently at partial loads can determine whether a plant is profitable or not. This ...

If you’ve ever observed a river rushing down a mountain or played in the waves at the beach, you’ve felt that moving water contains a lot of energy. A river can push you and your kayak downstream, ...

Hydropower is a renewable energy source that utilizes the natural flow of falling or fast-moving water. To generate hydroelectricity, a hydroelectric power station needs to be set up to transform the ...

The city of Aspen wants to add a second turbine and generator unit to its hydroelectric plant at the base of Ruedi Dam, which officials say will allow for more power generation during times of high ...

BENNINGTON — After six years — or 60 years, depending on how you look at it — the hydroelectric turbines at the former Vermont Tissue Mill are up and running and generating enough power to serve more ...
