The smallest category is the micro-hydroelectric power plant, which typically generates up to one megawatt (MW) of electricity. These plants are ideal for small-scale applications, such as providing power to remote villages, individual homes, or small industries....
The higher the water is stored, the greater its potential energy. When the dam’s sluice gates are opened, gravity causes the water to flow downward, and this gravitational pull transforms the potential energy into kinetic energy. Essentially, as the water falls, it...
