There will be a quiz

​1) With what is it made

2) How is it made​

3)​ What is the system​

​The hydroelectric power is made with a barrage and it is made like this

​The water is in the headpon and then it goes threw the intake and go down the penstock that will make pression to rotate the tubine and finally it goees threw the draft tube to the tallrace.

But ​when the turbine is turned it activates the powerhouse then the electricity goes into the tranfor then into the transmisson line to your house.

​4) Fun fact​s about hydroelectric power

​The largest producers of hydropower are Brazil, China, Canada, Russia and the United states. One of the largest plants in the world is on the Yangtze River in China. The dam is over 600 feet high and is 1.4 miles wide. However, the facility which generates the most electricity yearly is the Itapúa plant which is located on the river of Parana which flows through Paraguay and Brazil.

​4) Fun fact​s about hydroelectric power

​Washington made over 30% of its energy in 2015 from Hydropower sources. More than 11 states saw 10% of their energy made from hydropower in the same year. 98% of renewable energy in America is produced by hydropower and around 7% of the total electricity produced in the United States was by hydropower plants

​4) Fun fact​s about hydroelectric power

Hydropower can prove to be very helpful during major electricity blackouts. These plants can also be helpful in sending the electricity back to the grids immediately. They can easily give backup power. They can quickly start running from zero power to generate their maximum output which makes them great for backup purposes

​4) Fun fact​s about hydroelectric power

​16% of the World’s total electricity comes from hydropower plants. Brazil, China and the United States are some of the world leaders in producing hydroelectricity as mentioned earlier. In 2018, 21.8 Giga-watts of electricity generation capacity was obtained from hydroelectric power plants. It was recorded that 4200 terawatts of electricity was produced in 2018 throughout the world

​4) Fun fact​s about hydroelectric power

​Norway is the seventh largest producer and user of hydropower energy and is the largest in Europe. 96% of the nation’s energy is produced by 20 hydropower plants. One of the hydropower plants alone produces so much energy to power the capital city of Oslo throughout the year.

​4) Fun fact​s about hydroelectric power

​The best fossil fuels covert around 50% of energy into electricity, whereas hydropower turbines are 90% efficient. Over the years, the cost of making a hydropower plant grew less than inflation which makes it relatively economical.

​4) Fun fact​s about hydroelectric power

​It is believed by many people that dams are built for the project of hydropower, but most of the dams do not produce electricity. Most of the dams are used for water treatment, flood control and irrigation
